It was perfect. That Himeno POV segment at the beginning looked astonishing.

Bits of the CGI looked a little weird, but nothing noticable, overall it was really good. The direction and different camera angles were excellent too.

Tbh I was underwhelmed today... not saying that this episode was bad... but mistakes were visible...

Good points first:
Great ost
perfect cinematography and camera angles
anime original opening scene
specially the gun shots in different locations were done great

Bad points:
Janky art... noticeable from the breakfast scene
CGI was good but it was breaking the immersion a lot
Personal bias - I though the Kon scene wud be as good as shown in the preview... but that didnt happen...weak 2D debris structure there

Maybe I'm too critical but I wanted MAPPA to animate this scene as good as they did in the eternity devil part
I wanted them to surpass the manga but I guess manga is still better at this point

They managed to extend himenos apartment chapter to cover half the episode somehow, because she's gonna die, and now we don't get to see the main fight until next episode

Worst episode , if we talk about animation and adaptation . First thing , they added bonus scenes for Bat and Leech , but not for the main villain of s1 and the CGI ruined the immersion and emotive scene between Himeno and Aki .

Name one anime with good animation.

I think it was a great episode, but I expected something better than that, and honestly it's a shame that we have CG katana man in some scene, I thought they would animate him fully in 2D since they don't have to worry about the rotating chainsaw, but it probably just me having too much expectations.

Desapointed in the katana man vs aki’s curse devil scene especially at the end with the final blow but expect that scene every thing was good

The Aki vs Katana Man fight was insane, as one of my favourite fights in the manga, the anime really did it justice. The part where the Curse Devil shows up was so eerie and off-putting, this gives me reassurance for another similar scene later in the show.

The CGI was very well done too. Ghost Devil looked beautiful and the fight it had with Katana Man also looked incredible.

The best animated part though was the Fox Devil’s summon. Man that was insanely done. Bravo MAPPA

For me the only bit that didn’t look great was the Snake, apart from that I thought the rest of it looked really good, especially Katana Man

I thought everything looked amazing especially the train scene. I wished Katana Man and Curse Devil looked a little edgier (katana man posing in the op was badass, not much of that same feeling in exposition) but still looked cool. Everything felt somewhat ethereal especially the music during the gunfire. Feels like they’re overusing “Sweet Dreams” though.

People complaining about CGI are usually against it more on principle than the actual quality of it, case and point how people infamously bitched about the awful CGI of episode 1 and then proceeded to post this 2D fight scene.

I haven't read the manga (I definitely will once I finish this anime) and I hate lazy, mediocre CGI just as much as the next guy but the CGI wasn't bad in this episode so I don't know why people are complaining about it, the CGI was actually decent and gets the job done, I've seen way worse CGI and the CGI in this episode is definitely not one of them.

Now, I said this before and I will say it again, Chainsaw Man is awesome and I'm loving it but it doesn't have the best fight scenes, I've seen way better fight scenes in other animes but that's ok, at this point I don't care about it anymore, as long as the quality doesn't degrade then I'm ok with the fight scenes the way it is, plus this anime has a "seinen" feel to it which I freaking love.

Apart from the slightly janky cg for curse and snake devil, it was perfect for me. The beginning part with the character animation, the whole section of the executions of the public safety people, the scrappiness of aki vs katana man and then himeno's death were all done brilliantly with amazing ost, direction and animation. The ending was really good as well. Overall easily the best episode so far.

I thought the good definitely outweighed the bad. Sure there were some skipped frames and less detailed CG models but the directing of the assassinations and fight scenes were all great. I didn't really care much for the POV shots in the first half but I guess that could be considered creative too.

Honestly, I have more complaints about the 2D than the 3D for this episode. The CGI is fine. If you have a problem with it I don't really care because its your personal opinion but I'm getting a little tired of talking about CGI every fucking week a new episode comes out

I agree with what you said but theres just one thing you said that really annoys me
You said it has a "seinen feel" when all seinen is is a demographic. Same with shonen, shojo and josei, and whatever other ones there are. They are demographics, not genres. The only thing that decides whether or not something is a shonen or a seinen is the magazine its published in. Love is War and K on are seinens but CSM doesn't feel like them. Shonens can be as dark and mature as they want and still be a shonen. Seinens can be as lighthearted and family friendly as they want and still be a seinen.

Sorry about the rant I just get so annoyed whenever people say stuff like that

Thanks so much for that third option. Of course I'm not in favor of cgi, but at the same time I don't mind it either. People just make too much of a big deal out of it. As long as done right, no one should really be complaining.

But I guess that's where the gray area comes in: what determines WHEN it is done right? Simply when it doesn't hurt your eyeballs? In that case it's all just up to personal preference (duh), as a lot of very intelligent minds have programmed themselves to be disgusted the moment they see a single frame of cgi

Although I hope most can agree that having CG backgrounds to help mimic 3D camera movement does in fact greatly elevate a scene rather than hinder it. Like the 3D maneuver gear scenes from AOT were one of the first if not THE first to utilize having CG backgrounds, and I've never heard a single soul say "EW THAT LOOKS SO BAD"

Ep 8 had far complicated designs than eternity devil arc, and it's by far the greatest in terms of direction alongside ep 4
Bro, katana man fight isn't long so that's understandable, but till you see denji Vs katana man animated... you'll never be disappointed

I don't think the episode was bad, but I just didn't enjoy it very much.
For me it was definitely the weaker one.
The start of the episode had super slow pacing and then the end of the episode had super fast pacing.
Seemed like they could've adapted more if they hadn't focused 5 minutes of it on the himeno thing and the ending part would've been more impactful
For me it wasn't impactful at all due to the cgi (which i usually thought was great, except for this part) and pacing pretty much.
Hopefully the other episodes will be better.
