Absolutely phenomenal,mappa adapted perfectly and elevated the manga,the music was top notch and animation was unsurprisingly really good, probably my favourite anime movie along with silent Voice.

Absolute Cinema! I already knew it would become my movie of the year but it really went above and beyond and exceeded all my expectations. The movie is gorgeous throughout with impeccable direction and character acting in the first half and mind blowing action in the second half. The animation during the action scenes went so hard, it's genuienly the best I've ever seen. I really need to see this one a second time and I'll watch it many more times when it inevitably comes out on Blu-ray (in like a year, sadly).

few reviewers want csm story to be done in the same formula as any other popular show. But the amount of absurdity and chaotic energy are one of the few reasons why it works and is popular on its own. Can't wait for season 2 content

This is the greatest movie ever produced. I've never seen anything like this. the soundtrack 10/10, the colors 10/10, the fights 10/10, from the smallest moments to the peak of the movie everything was handled with love and care.
Thank you Fujimoto, thank you Yoshihara and thank you MAPPA for adapting my favourite manga💖💖💖

I just saw it in theaters and it's an excellent film!

The animation is top, as is the opening and the OST, which they added to the ending 3! Not to mention the voice actors and the emotion that goes with them! What a treat! 🔥 The part with the pool and the fireworks is wonderful just like the relationship between Denji and Reze is incredible and moving! RIP Reze. 🙏​

Animation: 10 out of 10. Music: 10 out of 10. Story: 9 out of 10. What MAPPA did is incredible, especially in the final battles. The animation changes were stunning. It’s one of the best anime movies of all time — a true masterpiece.

This is easily better than Demon Slayer movie. that was a good adaption of a very short arc.
I had to change this because some loser couldn't make an actual argument. So....yeah I hope you guys like the new sig.

Fujimoto film adaptations are two for two so far, the score and visuals for both look back and csm movie have been incredible. Can't imagine any other va doing reze, Ueda Reina really knocked it out of the park. Saw it today but already going back tomorrow to watch it again

As a manga reader, I thought this was an absolutely amazing film. The character animations were amazing and the battle sequences were insane. There were even some nods to the manga cover art which I thought was really neat.

Reze was fucking cute as hell, her VA did such an amazing job. The movie does so well to display how ridiculously powerful she was with all the impact and destruction she caused.

Poor Denji though, at least he got to see her bare chest

Crazy movie. I was surprised they made an extended version of Ending 3.

I'm really glad they kept Ryu Nakayama's style but with slight changes to make it more like the manga. The realistic, cinematic tone is still there, but with the manga's art style and Denji's crazy antics and expressions.

I wasn't a big fan of the TV show but the film was good. Cool explosions, good cinematography and strong storyboarding.
Kid in front of me was playing Subway Surfers throughout the film which was kinda cringe.

Saw it in IMAX on opening night and had my eardrums nearly blown to shreds

Saw it again today, trying 4DX for the first time, and was almost thrown from my seat during the typhoon battle. Loved it even more the second time around.

As for the actual movie, well, you already know. This is MAPPA taking the breath of the anime gods and breathing life into Fujimoto's beloved work. They gave us what we needed.

Even though I knew how the movie was going to end, for some reason this time the line "I've never been to school either" hit me harder. The movie captured the wonderfully unhinged vibes of Chainsaw Man, but at the same time it was quite tender, even romantic. It felt bittersweet in the end. A perfect arc to choose for a movie adaptation, it really felt like a self-contained story that could stand on its own.

I love that they brought back the metal ED3 from first season during the fight scene with Reze, it was so hype and the tonal shifts in the song fit the funny bits so well xD

The animation was incredible, not just during the insane fight scenes but in also in smaller character moments.

Going back to the very beginning of the movie, I genuinely got chills at the "don't open the door" sequence. I'm not ready for season 2 xD

My opinion:
Pros:
Addition of neon colors esp in action scenes was an improvement over season 1, felt a lot more homage to the manga.

Cons:
Voice actress for Reze sounded too much like a child, she was supposed to be Russian so a bit of a calmer or deeper voice would maybe fit her better
A lot of the non action scenes had very noticeable CGI and the scene of them focusing on the denji/makima walking (head shot) the animation looked stiff
Action scenes = way way too much focus on twitter praise "sakuga"... I don't know if I like the way studios really approach action nowadays...

Overall a 7/10 for me while the manga arc was a 9/10 for me, the scene where she's going to the cafe at the end was so much more hopeful in the manga and the death of her and how sad the whole thing felt was done way better in the manga, the movie was kinda eh...


Also the n*p censoring in the movie was just awkward, why did we even have censorship to begin with, it's a movie, it's done for artistic reasons, plenty of movies have them, it really feels like MAPPA is ashamed of the manga they adapt, you are in a different medium, this isn't TV, just stop with the weird censoring, we are adults paying for a cinema ticket for a reason.

Saw this today with a friend, Holy Fucking shit this is what it means to truly elevate the source material above and beyond, it was probably the best visually impressive anime film I've seen and one of the top 5 best anime films ever, this was the arc that blew everyone away in the manga and it truly shows on screen, definitely up for a second and third watch!

It has been 3 years since Fall 2022 when season 1 came out!

This movie obviously is nowhere near as big as the Demon Slayer one 🤣 I saw posts of people ALONE in the theaters.

As always, I don’t watch movies in theater. I just wait for them to come out online for free c:

7:00 Date with Makima? 👀

15:00 who is this new girl? 👀

37:00 holy shit serious who really is she? 😯

44:20 SHE KISSED HIM! 😯🙌🏻 and she bit off his tongue 💀 that’s two bad kissing experiences for Denji now. Poor dude.

46:10 Bomb Devil 😮

Okay I fucking knew it 🤣 Beam the Shark is voiced by Hanae Natsuki! Tanjiro! 🤣🙌🏻 Reze is voiced by Ueda Reina. Because I’m watching it on a camera recording, it’s a bit difficult to recognize the Seiyuu’s voices.

Reze’s body 👌🏻

1:02:00 god damn she blew the hell up outta Denji 😵

1:02:50 Aki to the rescue! 🙌🏻

1:07:00 Chainsaw Shark Man! 🤣🙌🏻

1:10:00 Aki has about 5 years left to live and just lost another 2 months 🫢

1:25:30 the guy who trained both Denji and Power at the end! 🙌🏻 voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda! That deep notorious villainous voice! 🤣 Nanamin from JJK

Aw, Reze ended up dying in the end 💀 Makima and the Angel got her easily after Denji and them went through all that fighting. She was a good girl. No more two timing for Denji 🤣 I’m sure Makima knows.

This movie was alright. Felt more like a non-canon movie than a sequel movie continuing in plot. Power pretty much didn’t have a role at all 🤣 but everyone else did.

So… season 2/next movie when? 🤣

@lalindu I know, I read the manga, but different mediums have different standards, nudity in film is completely acceptable. Censoring just infatilizes the film

What a dope movie. Gotta say I expected a bit more screentime of Reze (and not Bomb Devil) to flesh her out a bit, but it was still great. Other characters definitely got to shine (like Makima, Angel Devil, Aki and the MVP Beam) but other characters I love like Power, Kobeni and Kishibe were really left in the background, or had a minute of screentime. I did miss the art style and music from season 1 but I got mostly used to it in the end, tho it did feel a little bland at times. The action for sure looked better tho, the explosion were just amazing. I didn't understand everything in this movie but I still really enjoyed it. (5 stars)
