It was meh. The story wasn't bad, but I didn't care about any of the characters. I don't know if it's just me and I don't know if it's because of the direction, animation, voice acting or what, but for me it felt like a stiff, manufactured product, not a show made with passion. I have a hard time liking MAPPA shows in general.

that cgi walk up the blind devil was AWFUL. berserk 2016 PTSD lol

also, why did this devil have the last cigarette? also, why is the cigarette so important. I don't understand why it's emphasized as if it was a major motif in their friendship. its awful writing. how did the devil even have the cigarette with the writing???? Then we also have the random "this devil is blind and uses fear to see!" okay if everyone knew that then calm down so it can't see. just trite writing

power talking in a weird regal 3rd person isn't an adorable personality quirk, it's aggravating

that was one of the worst talk to jutsu. how did katana not see his ZOMBIE grandpa and think denji is lying. Also, how does he have a conscience when all he's doing is murdering innocent people.

the katana v chainsaw fight was awful lol. bad choreography, bad animation, awful fight with no stakes

wow denji's offscreen training helped him improve! thanks for giving us dialogue diarrhea to explain it.

the episode concludes with a nut kick contest and we don't even get to see that??

i feel like makima had the woman with the gun devil killed rather than a suicide. they are hyping up how important denji's heart is because makima is also avoiding it (foreshadowing).

Now we are introduced to denji not opening the door, I wonder why to pet his chainsaw? and new person intro at the end of the season is meh
you must be blind saying the Katana vs chainsaw animation and cheography was bad LMAOOO. The way you talk it's sound like ur a troll lol

When I watch train fight scenes, it's fully impossible to not think of Spider-men 2 and compare. The unparalleled thrill that is the Spiderman-2 train fight is this whirlwind juggling act of Tobey trying to take down the Octopus while also dodging obstacles, saving pedestrians, and traversing on top, inside and all around, and even off of the train leading to the climax of choosing to abandon pursuing the Doc altogether and  stopping the train and everyone from certain death. This episode had a small amount of that kinda tension with that one girl That Denji called attention to, but imagine if the conductor didn't have the luxury of being able to stop the train so easily and Denji had to keep fighting the dude off while constantly saving other people from the OP dash attack. But ya know, it was still fun. Animation still good, the surprise foot thing at the end of the fight was cool, and I like the line before they fought on the train, reiterating Denji's modest goals about just wanting to enjoy life with his friends. Besides that, not much else to blow me away to call it a reeeal stand-out scene. I give it a 7/10.

this has been your train fight scenes reviewer guy, signing off.

Ending episode kind of meh if left on its own but it's obvious leading into something bigger and MAPPA is confident in that happening. Productions quality carried Ep1 until whenever Himeno died and Snake gal + Katana Man showed up then things actually got interesting plot wise...but it was kind of too late...if that was any other series ending like that would blasted and people questioning if a Season 2 would even happen. However there is a lot of stocked put into CSM to be the second coming. I liked the slice of life moments as well as the action but overall it was just okay for me personally. The overhype pressure for this show was insane.

Another pretty good episode, I will miss Chainsaw Man, I freaking love this anime. At first, I was complaining about the CGI but I quickly got used to it, it's decent and gets the job done, the action scenes could be improved as well but I don't care, it's decent enough to get the job done too, those are my only criticism so far.

I loved everything else in this anime, it really shined in the animation and comedy and I appreciate animes that get the comedy right since I'm a guy that usually complains about bad comedy but I freaking loved the comedy in this anime so yeah, good shit here.

I will miss this anime, I guess I will have to read the manga now since I don't have the patience to wait for the next season, might take years to get another season with this same quality so fuck that, I'm reading that darn manga.

Kobeni wanting bonus is so relatable.
So Denji has chainsaw in his leg too now? That's cool.
Well MAPPA did a really great job for this one so overall its still enjoyable. I don't think its memorable though, at least for me.

absolutely loved this series as a whole but i feel like the final lacked quite a bit. aki and denji creating "requiem" as a tribute was hilarious, seems like aki is finally beginning to enjoy himself.

The fight between Denji and Katana man was fire. Aki smoking that cig Himeno had for him. They showed a little glimpse of Reze, can't wait to see her. Loved the adaptation and hope Mappa keeps the sane quality and improve.

I love this series' obsession with nut shots. It really speaks to my inner 5 year old. 

Katana man round 2 was mostly fantastic, but i have to say, the scenes where they're standing still, especially on the train, do look kind of wonky. I'm not the biggest fan of cg in anime in general, but i think CSM has done it about as well as it can be done currently, those scenes really show where the tech is lacking. When everything is moving it's not noticeable.

Power in a dress just feels wrong for some reason, but i can't say i'm complaining. Kobeni is the human personification of the grindset.

That final fight with Katana Man felt very underwhelming, maybe a result of poor direction? Not even any cool music, it just kinda ends.

It's also obviously teasing future stuff which I don't get as an anime only.

It was a pretty solid show though, 8/10 overall.

Denji and Aki having a contest of kicking the Katana Man in the nuts made me smile! The bastard had it coming, that's for sure! XD

The last episode itself was pretty good, with the rematch between Denji and Katana Man being the main highlight. Denji's training did pay off as he outsmarted his opponent, although it was still a close battle in the end.

The final ED song from Eve with the animated montage with Denji, Aki and Power was also upbeat and nice. Not the best ED song, but I still enjoyed it. =)

Overall, I do find it hard to give Chainsaw Man a score that I can be happy with. As a whole, it's a fascinating series with solid production values all around. CGI quality itself is very good, with the odd scene being rough on the edges. Most Fight scenes have some excellent animation, although not the best that this year has offered, I admit. Soundtrack and voice acting are top notch and most of the ED songs are great (Still dislike ED 3, although that's the most viewed ED on Youtube as of now, so there's my hot take! XD).

I guess I'll rate this series after a few days from writing this post. All I can say for now is that I look forward to seeing more Chainsaw Man in the future, whenever that happens. =P
