| So I went in blind except reading the summary here on MAL and I was very impressed. Story of a boy struggling to pay off his late father's debts to the Yakuza and making a pact with a chainsaw/dog devil hybrid? Very interesting start! I did not fully understand what happened to the old Yakuza man but it looks like the zombie devil got him? Or was he the zombie devil? Regardless looks like he is dead and Denshi was resurrected and merged with Pochita. At the end a cute looking girl shows up with a couple guys and she says she's from Public Safety? Ok then, I'm definitely going to watch the future episodes. 👍 |
| Good start, I think it deserved a better opening but meh, for 12 eps I think its cool. |

| I liked nothing about it. The world is boring, the characters are just tropes, the animation looks very bad in many places, the plot is meh. It's just gore gore gore. |
| Does anyone else feel like the thread is full of new accounts with generic messages? |
| This was one of the greatest first episode I've ever seen. Damn what a tragic backstory for our main character Denji, dude deserves all the bread and jam in the world. I'm hyped about this show, it's gonna be tough waiting for an entire week. |

| Daily reminder that Black Rock Shooter (TV) came out TEN years ago and still has better animated 3DCG (Fuckin brilliant otherwise keep it up bros) |

She's just bad at talking to people, so she tries to sound quirky as an emotional defense. |
Psycho_Goku said: To anyone worried about CGI: episode 1 featured a horde of zombies/enemies which made it extremely hard for the animators to work because they had to draw so many people at once, that's why they were forced to abuse CGI. After this episode, there won't be any more horde of monsters or zombies, which means Mappa animators can focus more on hand-drawing Chainsaw Man. We probably won't get as many CGI CSM scenes in the future anymore. CGI haters can calm down. but the main character transformed CGI was awful and it will be CGI for the whole series. |
| I think they did justice to the first chapter (which is also the best chapter imo) and absolutely nailed it. I can't wait to see how they continue to elevate it all in the upcoming episodes. Chainsaw Man is going to go hard. |

| Just as inane and juvenile as the manga. Only watched to see how bad the CGI was and, well, it ain't good. |
| Controversial opinions |
| Decent start.. I really like the character designs and the atmosphere somewhat a mix between Tokyo ghoul and Dorohedoro. What i didn't like CGI, felt very slow for a starting episode and the OP was a meh. First impression 6.5/10 |
| great start for this epic story |
