It's starting out a bit slow, and Denji's your typical MC so far, and he's living the good life! Makima, Aki, and Power are all enjoyable to watch. Animation looks fine, and I had a few laughs so far. Hope it gets better from here on out as the story picks up.

What is with all the fetishes?

This isn't a high school anime but the mental level of the characters feels like preschool.

The characters are literal crings. Dropping

I think they did amazing job yet again skipping irrelevant muscle demon its a good decision they kept all the important dialogue which is what matter we get to see Aki and Power sooner...Va's are doing amazing job too and sadly now we wait a week again :(

Makima <3 Woof

I liked this episode way more than the first one. Power is a cool character, also I liked how they focused more on characters' interactions instead of random piles of corpses and rivers of blood, which looked ridiculous in ep 1.
Denji destroyed that guy's balls lmao what a dick move
Still can't get over the best character's death in ep1 though, I wanna see more of the chainsaw-dog thing

Nice to see Aki and Power make their debuts. Power is just as crazy as I remember and her VA is doing a good job of bringing that out. Poor Aki, getting his balls kicked like that lol.

Denji is a simple man. He's not trying to become the king of "this," or the greatest "that." All my man wants is to touch some boobs, like any other average teenager. Bro is just like me when I was that age....horny lol.

I'm glad we got ED visuals this time but I preferred the first song more.

Unpopular opinion incoming: I hate this part of Denji personality. This is the part of Chainsaw Man that really turned me away when I was looking into it a while ago. Denji sole motivation being just to feel some boobs. No its not relatable. No its not funny. No its not cool or interesting in anyway. Its lame and really dumb and shallow. I don't know why the author would make Denji character completely flip around like this. We saw in the premiere that Denji had plenty of motivation revolving around breaking out of that bad situation and living a happy life. So I was always confused as to why the author dumped Denji down so much to just being a guy who wants boobs and nothing else.

I'm absolutely with Aki on this, Denji should get out of there if his motivations are that dumb. He's not built for this if that's his reasoning. Aki is spitting only truth but I'd bet money that people here and around the internet are gonna hate Aki for saying that and call him a hater.

Maybe its just cause I know what happens with Makima later, no spoilers of course, that I don't relish this situation a single bit. It makes my skin crawl seeing Denji grovel to her and him kick Aki balls over and over again for Makima. The highlight of the episode was definitely though meeting Aki and Power. Two absolutely amazing characters with actual depth whom don't resort to shallow motivations. Power showing how much of a badass she is thumping that sea cucumber devil with one swing.

Denji was introduced to his coworkers Hayakawa and Power, and they head together in killing all the devils and denji is starting to learn and enjoy the new way of his life.
I give it 5/10.

The zenith of fiction, I'm afraid. Great character introductions for our two other main cast members.

Cutting the
scene actually helped the pacing and coherency of this episode a lot so I'm all for it. Looking forward to Meowy next ep :)

The manga is amazing so how are they adapting it so poorly. Part of the reason the manga is so well done is it’s high speed pacing. Expressive panels that you were done reading in a couple seconds are stretched out to half a minute with cheap drama. Backgrounds and scenes that should have more light and vibrance(a key part of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s art) are mellow and greyed. I don’t particularly mind them getting rid of extra scenes that don’t really matter, but what got me is them giving Denji little bits of extra dialogue to make him seem more thoughtful and emotional when that’s the opposite of how he was written. I don’t think the Mappa directors really gave any thought to the source material which is understandable since everyone working on the project is forced to do hundred hour work weeks on multiple projects, making it hard to put any care into one.

From an anime-only viewer

This was a good episode because it demonstrated how disconnected Denji was from reality. It was very enjoyable to see him for to experience little bits of life.

Another plus is that we were introduced to new characters for the first time, with Aki and Power making their debut. I'm looking forward to seeing more of them and learning more about them.

The whole Denji falling in love with Makima and Boobs thing was hilarious.

Not sure how to feel about the removal of the Muscle Devil portion, since it clearly established Denji's empathy towards Devils and how he views their relationship with humans. I get that most people viewed it as simple filler that's not worth keeping, but I don't really agree with this type of mentality. Especially when CSM of all manga can't really be accused of having filler due to how fast paced it is and never wasting a single panel. I've read that in exchange for remove parts like that, Mappa will add some more meaningful interactions between the main cast, as well as extend the fight scenes, which is nice. I just hope it's worth it. Overall, decent episode, with Power and Aki being the highlight for me. Seeing them voiced and animated was a treat. Power in particular is such a ball of energy.

This episode was honestly perfect.
10/10

Introduces most of what CSM is, and we get to know Denji's epic objective: Touch some boobs. What is Tanjirou's objective to save his sister, or Naruto's objective to become hokage, or even Luffy, that wants to become the pirate king, compared to touching some boobs?

Another solid episode and well done adaptation. They nailed Makima's iron fist in a velvet glove voice and general attitude.
I love that OP, all those homages are awesome.
And my girl Power looks as bishin as she was supposed too. Got the right energy too.
