There is arguably no anime premiere this year that is as eagerly anticipated as Chainsaw Man, the adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto's manga. Every trailer released ...
Rest assured, this is the Chainsaw Man adaptation we were waiting for, and we're just getting started. Likewise, there is some fantastic sound design in the episode, particularly in the revving of the titular Chainsaw Man's chains, a hellish weapon that roars and deafens as it slaughters away at Denji's enemies. If there was any doubt that this show would live up to the violent implication of its title, worry no longer; Chainsaw Man is one gory show. We're talking Attack on Titan level of darkness, and it is not even because of the Devils or the absurdly gory violence, but because of the Dickensian exploration of working-class woes. The premiere introduces us to Denji, a destitute kid working to pay off an absurdly high debt he inherited from his father, and whose only friend in the world is an adorable demon-dog thing named Pochita. This is the Chainsaw Man adaptation we've been waiting for!
Chainsaw Man releases on Crunchyroll on October 11, here's our review of the anime based on Tatsuki Fujimoto's best-selling manga.
[Attack on Titan](https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a39611286/attack-on-titan-season-4-part-3-release-date/), and some of the studio’s top talent are working on Chainsaw Man. After all, the idea of a ‘superpower’ that reflects isolation is not unique (think about X-Men’s Rogue), and Denji’s literally makes him untouchable. Denji does have a preoccupation with getting laid, which left unchecked might become the kind of insufferable personality trait that turns viewers off. Here’s hoping it can be something that’s subverted through the introduction of interesting female characters. Alongside the hyperviolence of its action scenes, a sense of nihilism also runs through these main narrative beats. In the first episode alone, which sees Denji fight some reanimated Yakuza corpses, there’s more dismemberment and viscera than a Game of Thrones spin-off could dream of.

Furthermore, as evidenced by a subsequent run-in with the yakuza and his henchman, during which the latter humiliates Denji by offering him 100 yen to eat a cigarette (which he does), it doesn’t gain him any respect. Chainsaw Man, it quickly becomes clear, is set in an alternate world in which men and women live side by side with unholy monsters, and Denji has taken it upon himself to help rid the landscape of these creatures for a hefty price; as he remarks, a dead devil usually merits a 300,000 yen sum. The chainsaw may be a familiar sight in the action-horror arena, but the triple-bladed Denji nonetheless makes it feel new, and thrilling, all over again. He lives in a dilapidated shack in the middle of an anonymous Japanese countryside, and his biggest dreams are to one day meet a girl—with whom he could play video games and sleep beside—and to acquire a bit of jam to put on the bread that is the sole food he can afford. Since he has no special powers of his own, Denji performs these duties with the aid of Pochita, a small, round red dog with a chainsaw blade sticking out of his head and a tail (which ends in a triangle) that serves as a veritable pull cord. Denji is a sad sack who’s in such dire need that, as he explains during an intro sequence, he’s succumbed to selling body parts to scrounge up money to pay the gray-haired, trenchcoated elderly yakuza boss whom he owes.

Learn the differences between devils, fiends, and devil hybrids in the new Chainsaw Man anime and manga with detailed descriptions.
Together, they form the Chainsaw Man, which is easily the strongest devil hybrid in the manga series. Denji, our protagonist, is a devil hybrid between himself and the chainsaw devil named Pochita. Even the ability to turn into their devil form only lasts temporarily for the fiends in Chainsaw Man. Instead, she is the control devil who has a human like apperance. Usually, this leads to the elimination of all consciousness of the human part, but at times, shared control of the body is also possible. As the name suggests, hybrids are a result of a merger between humans and devils. The most reliable way to kill hybrid devils is to remove all the devil elements from their bodies. For example, the fox devil embodies the fear of foxes and has a strong jaw and sharp claws. We have compiled this guide to help explain the differences between devils, fiends, and devil hybrids in the Chainsaw Man anime. But if they die in the human world, they are reborn in hell. In the world of Chainsaw Man, devils are supernatural creatures that are born in hell and prey on human fears. Chainsaw Man presents us with one of the most interesting worlds that we have seen in mangas or animes lately.

Un constat qui se poursuit avec ce qui était un des principaux enjeux de cette adaptation : le Chainsaw Man lui-même. Et, ô joie, les talents réunis pour porter l’épopée à l’écran ont de quoi nous faire saliver les yeux (ce qui n’est pas donné à tout le monde, mais étonnamment satisfaisant). Mais ce qui demeure, de loin, le plus excitant, c’est bien l’animation produite par MAPPA, devenu depuis la consécration internationale de [L'Attaque des Titans](https://www.ecranlarge.com/series/1046635-l-attaque-des-titans-shingeki-no-kyojin). Le récit se penche sur le destin pour le moins mouvementé de Denji, un adolescent qui vit, comme tout adolescent qui se respecte, avec son chien-démon-tronçonneuse, qu’il a baptisé Pochita. Il passe alors un pacte avec son brave toutou, qui va faire de lui Chainsaw Man, un homme nouveau, avec un cœur de démon. Il faut dire que le manga, publié dans l’Archipel entre 2019 et 2021 (et dont un second arc narratif est actuellement concocté par son auteur), a fait souffler sur ceux qui l’ont découvert un vent de sauvagerie, d’inventivité, de violence et de drôlerie comme peu d’œuvres ont pu y prétendre ces dernières années.
MAPPA's adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto's action shonen is revving up to be something fun.
Because the rest of the show is in 2D, a CG Chainsaw Man that’s also operating on a different framerate from the rest of the 2D world looks out of place, particularly when he’s in minimal motion. After determining that he’s a human/Devil hybrid, Makima gives him the choice to join her in hunting other Devils or die, and he easily accepts. After initial bits of stumbling as he gets used to the extra weight that comes with his new form, Denji starts moving around the battlefield like a bloody force of nature. Whatever MAPPA does with the debut season of their first series, Chainsaw Man’s already carved out an impressive, bloody niche for itself. He’s a good boy, yes, but the show doesn’t go out of its way to make him anything more than a dog that just happens to have a chainsaw for a face. It’s a shame, then, that the CG used to bring Chainsaw Man to life (and used earlier throughout the episode) can sometimes feel out of place. But in the same way that the show is blunt when it comes to its protagonist’s debt, Chainsaw Man doesn’t try too hard in regards to Pochita. Chainsaw Man starts out with a slower, almost melancholic mood rather than the often playful (but no less melancholic) vibes that Jujutsu has successfully operated with over the course of a You’ll find the call quality is enhanced as the four built-in microphones are used to suppress any ambient noise and amplify your voice those on your call only hear what you intend for them to hear. Aided by a dog-Devil with a chainsaw on his head named Pochita, the two have spent years gradually chipping away at Denji’s debt while the teen continues to live in poverty and long for a better life. Colors are muted for much of the episode’s runtime, as if to mirror Denji’s exhaustion and hopelessness, but they bloom towards the end during two key conversations between him and Pochita. [recently returned](https://gizmodo.com/chainsaw-man-manga-returns-shonen-jump-denji-pochita-1849170231) manga of the same name by Tatsuki Fujimoto, Chainsaw Man is set in a world where monstrous beings called Devils exist on Earth, and Devil Hunters are tasked with eliminating them.
The anime adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto's popular “Chainsaw Man” magna, the series centers on Denji, a teenage boy living with a Chainsaw Devil named Pochita.

Chainsaw Man is the most violent new anime of the season, but rich lore and a confidence in its mysteries makes for a strong start.
It definitely feels as if these violent battles will be what audiences most talk about in Chainsaw Man, but thankfully that’s not all that the show has to offer. It relishes and glorifies grisly moments that the manga otherwise dwells on with a certain passivity. This premiere hammers in the dark nature of this world, but it’s not completely void of levity and silliness. This is hardly a fresh anime trope, but hopefully Chainsaw Man manages to avoid the same pitfalls that held back these at-one-point similar seinen series. This first episode looks gorgeous, but there’s equally impressive sound design, especially when it comes to the vicious massacre in the final act when Denji’s Chainsaw Man form first reveals itself. This excess can function at the series’ surface level, but it’s also led to a trend where stylized expressions of magic, energy, or even violence can become powerful metaphors for the internal problems that consume us all.
