I honestly don't get all the hate the aninmation gets.
Personally I think what they are doing with CGI is pretty great and this is clearly the future of anime.

Fight in the beginning was so great, but I feel like these episodes are wasting so much time to make things feel more cinematic.


I noticed that too. Too much screen time wasted on useless shit like filming the wheels of a car, the side profile of a character etc. They take only one-two seconds each but added up they make up quite a bit of time. Time that doesn't really mean anything.

I wonder how devils work. Is the use of devils and their powers a war crime?

Who is Makima? Kobeni was surprisingly strong despite her personality. That is all I have to say.

Maybe she wanted them to go away without taking Denji. A prolonged 2v1 wouldn't have been good.

Action packed episode, Arai is dead, he was actually more redeemable than Kobeni but it is how it is, I like people dying when they do dangerous stuff (MiA should learn from this). The ED was a bit weak, 8.5/10.

I don't like the fights with cgi and I feel that the battles lack dynamism and explosion in this anime, the final part with the girl who is shy and fearful who becomes brave and skillful seems poorly executed to me because I don't quite understand her scenes With the flashback of how he killed the old woman or if she is laughing or crying, it made me very confused and I could not enjoy it.

Of course we had to be shown the sad scene of Himeno's desperate attempt to save Aki. And even though Himeno was already dead and her body completely gone, the rest of her Ghost Devil was still able to wake Denji up in pulling at his chest rope. We finally got the clash between Denji and the Katana Devil which was definitely fun to watch. So Sawatari is the name of that mysterious blonde girl which seems to have some extraordinary power. Unfortunately Denji didn't last long and got halved with a clean cut.

In the meantime we got back to the train with Makima still being alive. I have no idea how she even survived or what she did to those men on the train, but it certainly looked gross. The most frightening part about Makima is, that despite this incident, she continued to remain so calm. Borrowing 30 convicts with life sentence or more, as well as finding the nearest temple with the highest altitude didn't make any sense to me. That was about to change when the enemy people began to explode lol. So that means, if Makima has one of the convicts recite a name of her choice, can she kill the person with that name? That's disgustingly overpowered. Yes, you need preparation, but still a crazy ability.

The most unexpected thing in this episode was to see Kobeni fight. By no means was that the same whiny girl from a couple episodes back. Here movements were so smooth, just everything about her felt different. Not to forget, without her Denji would have been lost. Poor Arai died while protecting Kobeni. RIP.

Did Makima eventually anticipate anything of this? Especially since she mentioned that the Gun Devil has to be involved.

Overall great episode with lots of twists and a good amount of action. Loved the ED by Aimer. Looking forward to next week.

What a metal episode. Denji vs Katana fiend was great with how hard the OST was going, the visuals were ok more or less, kinda sad that Denji had to get folded after underestimating a terror organisations morals, but Makima brought it back.

They gave Makima the spotlight and she fucking slaughtered it, not only surviving the attack on the train, but swung back with one of the craziest counters. What honestly makes her character so intriguing is the mystery that surrounds her, thus the build up to actually see someone force her hand was even better. A seamlessly invisible force that just explodes people and traumatises those around honestly fits her style, along with the setup, was a rlly cool idea to see.
Honestly i've found her monotone voice to be way more scary now, its incredibly hard to read her tone whether it be her leaving a train full of dead people or reading your resign letter.
She literally managed to flip the scales from what seemed to a full lose, to a at least even scale. Even if they lost the better Devil Hunters, the knowledge that she has the power and probably will use it to make u explode on the spot into a pool of blood is gonna send a message back.

Damn, the fuck did they feed Kobeni to get her to go sicko mode. Actually surprised me how she did all of that like she trained her whole life for that moment. Some real John Wick shit how dodged all those shots in a open area, cut the dudes arm of and put a few rounds in him without looking, like the girl in the red hoodie literally used the same devil that killed the Ghost devil to try to kill Kobeni so she must of seen some threat in Kobeni that is on par with that.

Spot on!
The truth had to be told.
As a manga reader, I can tell you that these convenient plot devices just keep poping up out of nowhere, Makima keeps being a MaySue with convenient hidden abilities, and there's no character to care about, rinse and repeat until the grand "final twist" ass-pull.

Have you seen Makima's eyes. That's all the hints you need. The only other person with wierd eyes like her is Power who is a Fiend. If you didn't realise it so far, Devil's can regenerate and heal via blood. The show specified that in the first episode itself. The show gave you all the hints. It's just that you are just so dumb that you couldn't connect dots unless the shows blurts things out for you. Don't blame the show for your own stupidity.

the writing

Himeno told in episode 5 that Kobeni has the moves but she is timid and scared. In this episode we just saw what Himeno meant by that statement. Kobeni can fight, she just doesn't wants to be in this situation and wants to live a normal life instead. The writing is fine. It's just that you are dumb and can't remember previous episodes content.

What's wrong in liking bloody shit? The story has plenty depth for a shonen. It's not meant to be a philosophical novel. It is a show about a Chainsaw headed guy fighting and killing grotesque monsters. Read something like "The Brothers Karamazov" or "War and Peace" if you care about depth in your fiction. Don't search for insane depth in a cartoon adapted from some action comic book series meant for teenagers.

absolutely mental episode. I'm overly keen for the new eps each week and highly considering reading the manga just because the story is getting so interesting.

I loved the ending and animation of ep 8, the way that the snake just disappeared in the legit frame difference, and it was crazy. So well done.

After what happened with Himeno...
Denji woke up and fought against the demon Katana. Although... he was defeated, very good scene. And on the other side...Makima didn't die. I wanted to see how they did the temple scene, it was incredible. The tension with the music and everything was really cool. And then, Kobeni went to save Denji. This scene was also great. Very good chapter.
Ninth ending, Aimer - "Deep down".
Very good song.

Not sure why you even bother explaining it to him/her. They're clearly someone who is used to conventional anime scripts, that don't offer twists turns and surprises. Person also thinks they're also objectively correct based off of the fact that they considers it all valid criticism. It's not worth the argument or explanation. But who knows hopefully they're willing to take a deeper look and converse about it.

Lot of questions that was not answered and questions that we're irrelevant once the episode was done like the fuck am I supposed to feel

We know that Makima is not someone who's supposed to be messed with our she'll crush your skull like hell on earth so Denji is so lucky if he ever gets crushed on her thighs in between

ED is a banger thought it was Minami for a sec since it has her vibes just from the visual till I saw it's Aimer another fitting song to the ED collection.

For some reason I just can't handle Kobeni in anime form, she's nowhere near as annoying in the manga as she is here. Those strange noises the VA does are just so off-putting and really takes me out of it. Maybe I just don't like the VA choice in general. Also, the, uh, music? Those sounds that were used during the Kobeni fight were so abyssmal and they just kept looping for such a long time. It was so distracting. Everything else was good though.

Though Himeno's dead, but that ghost hand did one last thing, waking Denji up. He’s damn late in the party, but still that minute segment with 3rd ED in the background and him announcing his arrival was straight up heat. But sad to say the coolness didn’t live long as his opponent Katana Man isn’t some pushover… man splitted Denji in exact half. DAMN.

Undertaker waking from dead was a usual sight back in the day, but to see the same with Makima.. no wait, we still aren’t done as the iconic shrine moment with life-sentenced convicts glorified the second half. The moment which made Makima the deadliest Devil Hunter of the series, made her name synonymous with the term “OP” itself, saw its perfect adaptation. Sasuga Mappa.

Kobeni making Katana Man and Sawatari leave with their tails between their legs a certified badass moment. Though she wants to leave this job right off lol.

This episode was everything Chainsaw Man will be going forward. Also nice ED from Aimer.



Everything this person said i agree with and couldn't put it in any better way

Peaksaw-man episode nothing tops this episode in my opinion and as far as Manga wise for season 1. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

For the first time, she dies before her partner...hang on, the missing body with clothes left behind implies she was a victim of Makima's attack and not the devils she was fighting?
Is Curse having a similar design to Chainsaw of any significance? Do all canine devils look like that when they merge with a human host, for example?
Makima uses blindfolded convicts to transmit her powers, she needs the names of the victims name read though (kinda reminds me of death note).
