Dog & Chainsaw

Ever since i was a boy I've yearned for the sweet embrace of death, but alas society says no.

BUT NO MORE! This anime has reinvigorated my love for life. WE LOVE CHAINSAW! WE LOVE MAKIMA!

The animation and scenery is so peak tears dripped from my eyes at every panel. The only downside would be my personal hatred for CGI but even it cannot do this masterpiece dirty. The characters are so well done I'm on the edge of my seat at every word spoken by my lord and saviour pochita (best girl).

I cant wait for the next episode and every day without it is full of bleak horror. LOVE, LOVE, CHAINSAW!.

Well I am an anime only for chainsaw man ..,and I had heard a lot of things about the manga to be great and unique and a joyride ....and the hype is also unreal ...and I can say that the first ep really was brilliant (well cannot comment on the story bcz it's only the first ep ) and broke the barriers of expectations....the music was cool and well suited to every shot...the animation was smooth crisp and brilliant...one most beautiful thing was the amount of detail they put on the backgrounds,.the characters walking..it was just so in the flow And then is the matter of cgi...well it was very great for anime standards but kinda noticeable..it kinda put me off for a bit ...but then also the director made full use of cgi and we get some crazy shots..mostly like cinematic shots....so overall it's a great start...

After seeing the first chapter of the manga adapted faithfully, panel by panel, I'm convinced studio MAPPA has something special cooked for us Chainsawfolk. Even though there are a lot among us who are suspicious of the use of CGI in the show but personally, I didn't really find it all that bad. Denji's neck, while transformed, does look a bit weird, that I will admit. Besides that, this was a perfect episode, no flaws in pacing.

And people, who are upset about Makima's voice actor - I don't get your obsession with your own head-canon.

To wrap it all up with a bow on top, GIVE IT A FEW EPISODES.

So finally the most anticipated anime ever has aired! So was the hype and the wait worth? Totally yes! It was. Let's talk about th animation first. The animation was flawless, jaw dropping and amazing at the same time. Mappa is killing it. It was well adapted and the animation was pleasing to the eyes. The cinematography and colours were perfectly used for mature themes and gore. Even the story and pacing was well and balanced. The most thing that Iiked about this episode was the colour pallet and mature themes. It's something that I've never seen in an anime. Totally enjoyed it and loved it. Hoping to see more..

First off this isn't going to be a show for everyone. I saw someone ask, "it's about a guy with a chainsaw what's so special about it?". Yeah, that's true, but then again Naruto is about a guy with a fox, and One Piece is about a guy who stretches like rubber and we know how good those shows turned out to be.

Don't judge an anime by the premise.

For the manga readers this episode was a big treat. No matter what criticisms you have for MAPPA one thing you know is how well they portray the TONE of the show. CSM needs that half fun, half dark sort of tone, and I think MAPPA nailed it. Everything from the color palette, to the openings, endings, and soundtracks pretty much matched the whole tone of the story.

And the OP is a banger, ending is a banger and whoever chose the artists and music for this show deserves a noble prize.

I honestly didn't feel bad about the CGI. Except for that one wonky shot in the opening where a chainsaw comes out of Denji's head, the others were perfectly fine. I mean, come on people, this is about a guy who has a chainsaw in his head. The animators can't draw the animation of the chainsaw in EVERY single frame.

I always had doubts about Makima's voice actress, but I think I got over it. Sure, she sounds a bit young, but I still think she managed to give that creepy seductive tone the character needs.

Overall, 10/10 episode. Ignore the haters, the OP just hit #2 on trending, and the ending is #6 on trending in YouTube. This shows how popular this show is. And the more popular an anime is, the more hate it is going to get.

So ignore the haters, and watch this masterpiece for yourself.
