Power tricking Denji by making him think he'll get to touch her boobs is an amazing twist.

That was quite a few seconds of a close-up of Makima's ass... nice. Man, I really love her voice. She is so alluring but at the same time she's so unnerving to me.

Poor Meowy. At least their love for their pets is something Power and Denji can empathize on.

Denji's devotion to boobs is something else lol. And I loved how he saves women, old people and children but doesn't give a shit about some random dude lmao

ED is a banger.

such a fantastic episode. I was worried about the action CGI since I had some complaints with the episode 1 zombie fight, but the fighting in this episode looked super great.

love the 2000 brain-dead people giving this show a 1 for no reason or calling it another "basic shonen" from someone who probably gave demon slayer a 10/10 tho

Denji is a simple guy whose only goal is to touch some boobs lmao. Power, on the other hand, had lost her pet, and it was unfortunate that the stupid devil ate the poor kitty right in front of her. Denji switched to chainsaw mode, and the music and animation were perfect for the fight. I'm enjoying everything about this series so far.

The episode's ending song was fitting.

GIVE POWER BACK STUPID DEVIL.

Damn, Denji's resolve to grope some tits was so strong that Devil lost all his previous confidence lmao.

First "big fight" in the series and I gotta say it was good. Chaotic yet solid choreography and the CGI looked clean af this time. OST was quite decent too.

ED was so edgy. Perfect for this kind of show.
Still eagerly waiting for Aimer's turn tho.

Curiosity: the Author's concept, of Demons having simple names and born from the fears of humans was created because he didn't want to leave them stuck to any specific religion and despite trying to avoid there are still several religious references scattered throughout the work.

The ed was so wild lol, I like it but it's my least favorite so far.

Lots more action than the first 2 episodes. Denji got tricked by Power was really unexpected, he just wanted oppa :(. Looking forward to the next episode

Fucking loved it.

Interesting thing about this adaptation is that Chainsaw man hasn't yet shown its true strengths three episodes in. Battles were not the strength of Chainsaw Man part 1. Its strength likes in its story about friendships and tragedy. And yet because it's an anime we get to see this awesome fight animated. It makes Chainsaw Man greater imo.

one thing I didn't expect going into this anime would be how amazing the OST would be. so many songs that not only perfectly fit the mood of certain scenes but even elevate some scenes and make them feel more impactful

ED was an acid trip. Love it. Makima is mysterious as always.

good CGI (people are overhating the CGI too much).

The story is still kinda basic -ish(?) I wonder if Denji gets any other new motivations than just wanting that nice oppai.

A fucking banger.
The CG was barely visible,the pacing was good and the visuals were damn amazing.I still am seeing some imbeciles ranting about the CG stuff but i guess they just dont know how media works.Overall a great episode.
The ending was pretty nice,too.

[quote=-FALSE message=67809149]Another 3/5 episode. The CGI is still noticeable, but at least it looks FAR better than what we saw in that first episode. Still nowhere near as good as those pre-animated trailers of MAPPA of course. And looks like those "leaks" of episode 3 on Twitter were false, just spliced up scenes from one of those glossy trailers put together lol. Yet another overhyped episode.

This anime's biggest strength so far is no doubt the character acting, which is impeccable. The models are always sharp and detailed too, and the anime has good compositioning and backgrounds. Looks like MAPPA spent all their budget on the character acting, those 12 different EDs and I'd like to guess the Katana Man fight, which will be the only notable fight from this cour.

The content this cour covers is average at best to put it nicely, so it needs to be carried by the visuals. The action animation so far has just been 'good' with some occassional amazing sakuga judging by this episode (like that sonic boom from the Bat Devil). However, considering the cinematic experience that is the manga, the directing for its anime adaptation has been underwhelming; it utterly pales in comparison to WIT's Attack on Titan in that respect.[/quote Most of the action scenes were 2d. Even chainsaw Man denji was 2d. There was only like 10 seconds of cgi in this episode.

I’m gonna say it, the actions scenes keep ruining the episode for me. They keep trying to set our expectations so high it ends up being disappointing. The CGI is not bad, but it completely and utterly interrupts the flow of the action scenes, which already lack intensity. Although they look good, it feels like something’s missing. So far the best parts of each episode were the interactions and personalities of the characters.

Most of the action scenes were 2d. Chainsaw Man was also 2d in a lot of shots. There was only like 10 seconds of cg.
