Chainsaw Man

Anyone giving this less than 8-9 stars is unhinged. It's perfection. The animation is top notch. The story is top notch. The voice acting is top notch. I don't think that they could've done anything better. There isn't anything novel left in the world, so of course it's going to be a bit derivative, but this show has taken all the aspects I like of other animes and combined them beautifully. I am looking forward to future episodes. I really enjoyed overlord and berserk, they were my favorite shows up until this point. I am almost certain that this show will become my new favorite. I will update my review if this changes.

This was really good ep, it had amazing animation and amazing storytelling. The voice acting was so good, I have been waiting for so long for this to come out as an anime so when it did, I wasn't disappointed, i was super impressed and so happy that chainsaw man is finally here. If chainsaw man keeps this up it can may be the number one show this year, but there is a lot of competition. Although this episode was amazing it wasn't perfect at any means, the cg wasn't that impressive and I thought they used way to much of CGI and I'm not that big fan of the 3d.im not saying that that it is bad but I'm saying that I was expecting better in the cg, and another think is sometimes in the anime the quality wasn't all that god it was like it was 720 but i had it in 1080 that was strange, I also wished the background was bitterer and cleaner and have better lighting I found that in some shots the lighting was a bit bland but over all I would give the first ep 8,4.

The first episode of Chainsaw Man was an excellent pilot for the introduction of this long-awaited series, MAPPA did an excellent job (as always) and I am eager to see where the story will lead. Very good storytelling, character design and voice acting, and impeccably handled animation. World and characters equally interesting. At the moment it still feels quite derivative, but certainly as the story develops the anime will have the possibility of portraying its real strength and uniqueness. In any case, a really intriguing start for an anime already destined to become a new classic in the next few years.

Chainsaw Man isn't what it seems. If you haven't read the original series and only watched this season you might be thinking, ''It just follows all the other tropes in anime'' but soon enough it completely flips it on your head. For example Denji might just seem like a horny teenage boy who wants to cop a feel but that is completely incorrect. Denji isn't just a horny boy, he is confused, his whole life he hasn't had any proper human connection and has only been able to imagine what a normal life is, so when he gets that opportunity to eat good grub and even possibly get a girlfriend, he shoots for it. But nothing is what it seems for him. Denji doesn't understand humans, he doesn't understand himself. He lives life to fast as if it's his last day on Earth. The irony of him wanting to escape his past life just to be a pet for another person. I'd explain a lot more on why it is amazing but I can't without spoiling it. Oh and he can turn into a Chainsaw.

After such a long wait and so much hype, it finally hit the screen and man it delivered so hard.

Of course the first episode was far from perfect. It definitely had some flaws from the point of view of storytelling and character building. But, did it entertain? Hell Yeah!

The action was great, the character design was great, the voice actors were awesome, and the animation, breathtaking. MAPPA is on steroids. Though some improvements can be made to the CG work on part of the main character. You'll understand what I mean when you watch it. Besides that, the direction was great. If some note is to be taken from the trailers, then there it a lot to be hyped for in the upcoming episodes.
