    One of the best 1st episodes in all of the animes

    An incredible episode. We waited csm for almost two years and I've got to say that the wait was worth it. Incredible animation, like really really great, almost photorealistic. The soundtracks were incredibly accurate for the precise scenes. There aren't any censored scenes, so you'll see a lot of blood (chainsaw man is a dark manga, it has lots of blood spilling and characters die is really gruesome ways. Even though it was the first episode, it shows how Denji lived. He lived in a dusty and small shack. It shows how some people actually live, where they have to pay enormous debts and get constantly abused and mistreated by criminals. The opening was also really good, it has a lot of film references, like pulp fiction or Texas chainsaw massacre. As I said, I think that this is one of the best first episodes is all of the animes.

    Peak peak peak

    Chainsaw is one of my all time favorite mangas and seeing it get a anime made me feel free. The way they composed the episode like a movie is nothing ever done before in anime history. It was daring and it payed off. I've seen some complaints about the cgi and I would agree that in some scenes it did look off. Especially the scenes when he stands still in devil form. Other than that the cgi is the best anime cgi I have ever seen, it made the character feel real and life like. I also love the dark atmosphere the episode brought out and THE GORE there's not many anime where you can see gore in such high quality and detail. I can't wait for more chainsaw and I'm hoping it succeeds in the future.

    This is just the beginning...

    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.

    amazing work

    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.

    Couldn't Peel My Eyes Away

    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.
