I really don't get why there are people who are unhappy with this adaptation. It's absolutely brilliant! It brings all of the gloom, grossness, and uniquely vivid characters and brings them to life with stunning animation.... what is not to like?!

I can't wait for season 2 and hopefully, we won't have to wait too long!

Consider me invested. Episode one was weak in my opinion and I dropped it. But like any other anime, I always give a second chance and I'm glad that I did. While definitely a few weak episodes, the last few were top notch. So many questions going forward.

Not bad overall. I think being able to binge the manga meant it felt faster paced than the anime, whereas watching the anime week to week it almost felt like they deliberately kept you waiting for Chainsaw Man to appear. 

Still, visually this was fantastic and Power was just as entertaining as she was in the manga. I just hope they add more of her in the second season, she was perhaps less prominent than I was expecting.

Fun series overall with a solid balance of drama, comedy, and mystery.

I didn't up hating the protagonist as much as I thought I would based on the description, but his 'simple dreams' are a bit annoying in the first half. Really, all the characters are likable in some form or another... which is pretty amazing.

Totally agree! I wasn't a fan of Denji and the cringy fanservice in the first half, but the second half brought me around (the fantastic dub really helped) and now has me eagerly awaiting Season 2. I can't wait to see what Reze's all about.

it’s crazy how we are already at the end of this season with Chainsaw Man Episode 12, and it barely feels like we have lifted off the ground in this long-haul flight.

Himeno's keepsake smoke was a nice touch for Aki.
That elevator scene lol.
Kobeni's daily ptsd here... she still needs that bonus tho.
Great fights, likeable wild Denji & Power make for an easy watch.

Fight didn’t really live up to my hype from the manga. But i was prepared for that. The animation leading up to it told me all i needed to know. Mappa is really good at putting panels on screen but as far as putting together solid composition and creative directing they’re pretty standard and plain. For some reason they always miss the mark on the big power panels. The big double spread clash between Denji and katana man for the final blow is too fast to even see and it doesn’t have the same emotional impact. Still a big fan boy though so i wanna see how they improve with the material

I've never really understood comments like this.

The manga has zero animation/motion, you know? So, by default, an Anime's action scenes are going to be worlds better than manga ones (so long as nothing's off-model).

It really comes down to direction and taking advantage of the medium for me. Like if it’s just gonna be the manga panels moving i rather read the manga. Cause it’s gonna hit a certain artistic pace everytime i turn the page. I like when the anime takes the fight and adds in its own choreography between the beats and changes perspectives and things like that. I expected Denji and katana to be zooming around the city blasting each other and it come down to the final blow. But it was an exchange, change location, exchange, change location , final blow. Just wasn’t what i wanted

This show was definitely overhyped and overrated.

When the show was first announced, I had friends and saw several social media posts/vids about how this was gonna be the craziest shit ever… but like, the story was bland, characters mildly interesting, plot holes, and simply trying to make this show look good with a shitty attempt at it.

Dunno, guess manga was something real special to warrant the hype… but I had a hard time finishing the show.

It wasn’t complete shit, but it most certainly wasn’t a masterpiece either.

Overhyped because everyone acted like this was best shit ever, but didn’t live up to the reputation.

Overrated because the average score (as if writing) was about 8.8ish… definitely not good enough to warrant anything higher than a 6 or 7 at best.

Anyway,

I liked it enough ti finish the show, sure… but it’s not worth rewatching, or alone waiting around for a season 2.

Guess this is the fate of all shows people hype about being “the best shit ever” long before the release date.

Same shit happened to cyberpunk, RWBY I’ve Queendom anime, Ya Boy Kongming, Spy x Family (though it only started getting good Galway through the season), and others…

People get really excited over anime that don’t live up to their expectations… nothing new.

People? You mean yourself? Just because you and msybe your friends think this show is overhyped and overrated doesn't make it a fact. It's just your opinion. The majority obviously doesn't think so. And the rating shows that. The majority clearly thinks the anime lives up to their expectation, so why don't you stop stating a blatantly false assumption as if it's a fact?

If that’s your opinion, whatever floats your boat.

I still would argue that it’s overhyped and overrated…. Because the show was barely watchable and barely interesting, and kinda sucked compared to what several people thought it would be.

But hey, if you’re opinion is that it’s a god tier anime… then well, whatever helps you sleep at night.

It was aight, I think it wasn't as grand as I was hopping. Maybe if they extended the fight scenes a bit longer by adding an extra episode I would've enjoyed it more but I don't think they could top episode 8

A fitting final battle to end the season on, surprising but sick move by Denji by utilizing the chainsaw on his legs.

Seems like the battle has been won but the Gun Devil arc has not been resolved yet, let the waiting game for the 2nd season begin

Being able to binge watch CSM was definitely the highlight for me this weekend.
CSM after Bleach is just goodness one after another.

Started a bit rough (still more than enjoyable) but episode 8 ramped it up.
Seeing all the comments that this is just the appetizer made season 2 harder to wait! Bring it on!!
