I've already read chainsaw man so I've not been prioritizing the anime but WOWWWWWWWW!!!! The animation on this episode was literally immaculate. Can't wait to see some of the better fights

Excellent start to Denji's battle against the bat demon, by the way, Makima is cute

I'm not a critic or anything like that but I like to give my opinion

What a fucking dud.

ngl I think you just described Shonen for the most part in general. I never really watch these style of shows for the complex narrative and plotline if you get what I mean. I think this episode was great and I am hoping for more like it.

Same here.. I'm not big into shounen, mostly romance comedies, harem, ecchi, sci-fi, idol anime, fantasy and slice of life but I'm absolutely loving the hell out of both CSM and Akiba Maid War.

Hello everybody. So far this series does not live up to the hype. Hopefully it gets better. Be safe out there!

Definitely the best episode yet. Most of the issues in the previously faulty episode had been fixed. The pacing is smooth, animation is spectacularly impressive as usual, the flashbacks don't seem tedious and overused anymore, and the psychedelic-trippy ED was great. They finally decided to avoid using royalty free music and butcher the whole thing like they did in ep 1 (except from when Denji comes through the smoke and they started playing a generic shounen fight track) which is great.

Now onto the flaws, the fight was rather interesting but ended up being generic. The "Kuru na!!!" is such a generic dialogue being spouted by every shounen anime villain to ever exist, making things just illogical. I wish they would avoid that. The way the fight started and flowed follows a formula of stakes all over again, which was a pity.

Otherwise, really good episode. 7.7/10.

Continue to lay out the show. I like how it is done. We get to know better how work the world the main character lives in.
I like how he is able to understand Power's feelings toward her cat since he lived something similar.
It's funny how it seems he wasn't able to experience anything in life so now, he's grateful about everything he can do

First episode of the series that I actually loved! Now I'm starting to understand all the hype. This one had some quality character building, amazing action, and great comic relief. Interested in seeing how this affects his partnership with Power next ep.

Welp, call me a new fan. I'm in in it for the long haul.

Sexual stuff is really forced at times and kind of cringe. Also didn't like the comparison of the main character to a dog, and the sexualized version being a puppy. Humor, action and art style looks great. Opening is good

this is awful across so many dimensions i don't even know where to behind

chainsaw man saves a person by grabbing the car instead of cutting it then claims he doesn't care while he strains? The monster doesn't follow up with a deadly wind attack that shows it can destroy entire buildings while he's busy?

chainsaw yells about copping a feel? that's a great reason for getting your adrenaline up. not the fight to the death. also where is the rest of the team while the city is turned into an active warzone?

why would the devil drop human he can use to heal before chainsaw survived an attach and yelled about touching boobs????

the first attach takes the bat's arm off. then the rest of the fight someone turns into a kicking and punching match??? and nothing is cut off with his chainsaws

You must be on drugs? Please visit a rehab 😂

thank you for addressing my questions with such a well reasoned reply.

The comedy aspects are unfortunately not as strong in the anime as they were in the manga, at least not in the sub. I wish they went a little more wacky on the voice acting. Other than that, godlike episode.

The show has a level of realism in Denji's apparent mental condition and I find it heartbreaking that people will continue to use that to their advantage in the future. That passes as one of the many aspects of quality writing that this show has.

Nice action,that ugly bat is such an asshole.

Good episode but I don't think I can ever get used to MAPPA's current cgi. I hope it improves in the future.

They managed to perfectly capture the cringe-worthiness of the bat devil. His dub voice + lines were perfect. Him and the zombie devil from the previous ep are so freaking corny (in a good way).

well , maybe denji should know this advice from magneto , lol : " Never trust a beautiful woman , especially one who is interested in you . "

" denji , you are poor and ugly . and Power the fiend is a beautiful woman , and she says you are handsome , and she says she will allow you to grope her b00bs , so never trust her , lol . "
