Added 2022-10-23 18:13:29 +0000 UTCIn Chainsaw Man episode 1, Denji might sell his eye, his kidney, his nuts, his dignity, and maybe he lives in squalor, and yeah maybe he's a little gullible and has no girlfriend or food but... at least he's nice to his dog.

Comments
“Chainsaw Man, episode 1, rated 19+ for excessive chainsaw violence, probably,” “I think I just saw abs. I think I saw abs. Shadow abs,” (CALM YOURSELF, ALEX) Goodwin: Oh I get it, he’s a hustler. Denji: Sold one of my nuts… Goodwin: NOOO that’s when you crossed a *huge* line “What in the world? What kind of conference room shenanigans where they getting up to?” Denji: I wanna score with a girl before I die. Goodwin: That’s a good dream, I mean, you know? “He’s so low that looking up is just a normal life out of poverty,” “When you’re in a bad situation, your purpose becomes clear, it’s like, just surviving adversity,” “What does he have left to lose? Except his virginity….and his life,” (OHHH MY GOSH LMAO) “Time to start selling meth,” “There’s something a little bit shady about this abandoned warehouse at this time,” “Protagonist, loyalty, heart of gold, check,” “He’s so done and out he’s projecting his life’s dreams onto his demon dog,” “The zombie horde is a cocoon that he’s going to emerge from as a chainsaw butterfly,” “For a lot of people, sex is not just sex, it’s also validation,”

(Especially good video to show anyone that’s questioning or having doubts about the CG usage or anything of that nature lol) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TUZjVVAN6WI&t=2187s

2022-10-24 00:55:53 +0000 UTC"is he looking for a girlfriend or a mom" ok but you didn't need to call me out like that -_-

2022-10-23 23:59:57 +0000 UTCIs he looking for a girlfriend or a mom? Evangelion: Yes
Matthew B
2022-10-23 22:36:53 +0000 UTCAlso, the creator Fujimoto is hilariously self aware so when it got announced that Mappa would be making Chainsaw Man into an anime, his only response was: “oh the story that’s a JJK and Dorohedoro clone is going to be adapted by the studio that made JJK and Dorohedoro?! How surprising!” Lol *Dorohedoro is another dark, crazy, bloody, etc. anime produced by Mappa that exclusively used 3D characters for the whole series and looked incredible*
Jake White
2022-10-23 22:08:01 +0000 UTCThe amount of technical wizardry at work here is insane; between the gorgeous 2.5D layered backgrounds, the clean ass 3D character models with realistic weight and clunk behind their movements, to even using 2D sweeps instead of motion blur to convey impact and speed, etc... Mappa and everyone involved in this series’ production absolutely LOVE what they do and their passion clearly shows in this quality.

2022-10-23 21:57:07 +0000 UTCalready in episode 2 myself, but watching blind with you, it shows a ton of promise and I like it.

2022-10-23 21:50:18 +0000 UTCI can only speak for myself, but Chainsaw Man is unique to everything I’ve ever read. I was like a breath of fresh air in shonen genre. It’s mangaka Fujimoto is a legend in the manga industry and had already made another popular series Firepunch before coming out with Chainsaw man, so that explains part of the reason for the massive popularity.

2022-10-23 19:06:39 +0000 UTCSo excited for this
Amit
2022-10-23 19:03:07 +0000 UTCThis is really great analysis without spoiling anything. Although speaking honestly, these first arcs of chainsaw man in the manga didn't hook me in as much as some of the later chapters. I think the anime did a great job shining a light on some of the things I missed during my first read through
Nick
2022-10-23 19:03:02 +0000 UTCCan someone tell me why this manga/show is sooo incredibly hyped? I had never even heard of it before the anime was announced. Don't get me wrong, the first couple of episodes have been pretty good, but the level of excitement it's getting is insane compared to what anime-onlies have seen so far, imo.

2022-10-23 19:02:24 +0000 UTCHis one shots are really underrated!!The panels are so beautiful and his ability to tell such a vivid story in 200 pages is unbelievable. And while it would be great to see it as a movie, I'm not sure it'll be translated as well as it was in the manga, though. Nevertheless Fujimoto sensei is such a gifted creative!!

2022-10-23 19:01:10 +0000 UTCThe pilot was great but episode 2 was even better imo. I know nothing about where this show goes but I'm very curious about how everyone is saying it takes a lot of really unexpected turns. The first season is only 12 episodes I believe, so I wonder if that will happen during this first cour.

2022-10-23 19:00:31 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite themes of this first episode explores is the role of a dog. Denji’s and the Yakuza’s interpretations of what a “dog” represents is vastly different. The Yakuza believe that a dog’s only purpose is to follow orders with blind obedience and obey it’s master’s every command. This connects to how they see humans in the same way, as disposable stepping stools to obtain their own goals. Denji on the other hand see’s his dog Pochita as an equal, someone who is one the same level as himself. Denji talks to Pochita like you would talk to a friend, he feeds Pochita his food enough he himself is starving. We see sleeping Denji sleeping in a fetal position holding Pochita to his chest. From this we know Denji is someone who deeply values relationships and connections. In a moment of clarity, Denji even puts his bond with Pochita as more important than over coming his debt. After watching your reaction, I can see that you immediately understand what Denji desires the most: affection. The other two themes that stick out to me the most are the concept of dreams and autonomy. You already talked about the dream motif, so I want to talk more about the theme of autonomy. We see that Denji is someone with virtually no autonomy due to his debt. The Yakuza are easily about to control Denji by keeping him in abject poverty and you know, threatening to chop him into pieces. But this role of autonomy is explored further with the introduction of the Zombie Devil. The choice to make the first antagonist of the series a devil who controls people’s mind and body was not a coincidence. Chainsaw man is a wacky story, but it’s narrative and themes remain consistent and intentional.

2022-10-23 19:00:18 +0000 UTCmha 6x2 was so good, I was actually blown away. peak my hero is back.

2022-10-23 18:58:23 +0000 UTCThat is amazing and infuriating that I got none of that. I knew the bowling sequence was familiar!
Alex G
2022-10-23 18:58:07 +0000 UTClets go excited to start this chainsawman journey also cant wait for your reaction to jjk 0 and mha 6x2 :) and ofc haikyuu too

2022-10-23 18:56:36 +0000 UTCI don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but there's a video that shows the movie references made in the opening. Popping the link up here if you're interested to check it out- https://youtu.be/6N2rmyxJEdE
Bighead
2022-10-23 18:54:13 +0000 UTCI also can’t wait for Look Back and Goodbye Eri to be made into movie. They are one shots made by the same author that are absolutely tear inducing. Goodbye Eri is almost as good as the entire Chainsaw Man series, and it is only a 200 page one shot.

2022-10-23 18:51:20 +0000 UTCI can’t wait for you to see more of Makima and everyone else. The guy in my PP is also a Chainsaw man character. There will be a unique ED every episode.
Chris Sharpe
2022-10-23 18:48:48 +0000 UTCThere are a couple of tiny things that make me really excited to watch Denji. Waiting to see where he goes :)
Alex G
2022-10-23 18:48:11 +0000 UTCthis show may start out a little basic, but it gets a lot better past the first couple arcs. Its probably my favorite manga ever and i hope the show continues the quality of the first 2 episodes
DefaultGoblin
2022-10-23 18:46:43 +0000 UTCWhere online can I find them?
Alex G
2022-10-23 18:43:24 +0000 UTCDefinitely planned, ASAP. I'm hoping to start them both this coming week. I'm going to sit down tomorrow and nail down a solid schedule and I'll announce.
Alex G
2022-10-23 18:42:56 +0000 UTCThanks for the info! I'll keep my eyes peeled for movie references. And yeah watching this episode I was consistently reminded of JJK. And then I watched JJK 0 right after and it felt like there was some continuity.
Alex G
2022-10-23 18:42:26 +0000 UTCThis anime will actually have different endings with unique visuals for every episode. so if you want to see the ending song with visuals and not end credits, youll have to look it up online. The visuals for the first ending is only clips from the first episode tho, so you aint missing much
Biganon
2022-10-23 18:39:50 +0000 UTCHey, might not be the right place to ask about this, but i think you were planning to react to Haikyuu and 3-gatsu no lion at some point. Are these shows still in planned and if so when are they coming up?
Niko
2022-10-23 18:29:46 +0000 UTCYou're not totally wrong for thinking that, considering the manga was making record sales before it even had an anime announced. But I still don't wanna say it'll be the most popular and jinx the adaptation haha
Nick
2022-10-23 18:20:10 +0000 UTCIT’S HERE LETS GO. Chainsaw Man is one of my favorite stories ever, I’m very happy to see it adapted so beautifully! I won’t give anything away other than it’s a really weird (but amazing) ride Random facts connecting Chainsaw man too the other things you’ve seen on this channel: - The creator of Spy x Family used to work as an assistant for the creator of Chainsaw man - JJK and Chainsaw are known to have a lot a similarities, both creators have confirmed to be inspired by each other - Denji’s Chainsaw man form made an appearance in the My Hero Academia Manga - Not about your reactions, but the Chainsaw man’s author is a HUGE fan of western cinema Chainsaw man is packed full of movies references, in the opening itself and throughout the whole series.
Megan
2022-10-23 18:19:40 +0000 UTCI know nothing about this story or anything, watched both episodes so far totally blind, and have loved every second. If manga readers fuck this up for me I will never forgive them.
benj
2022-10-23 18:17:23 +0000 UTCTyping this comment as a moment in history... this anime could (key word is "could") become the most popular anime of all time.
benj
2022-10-23 18:16:45 +0000 UTCLETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
benj
2022-10-23 18:16:05 +0000 UTCWOOO! I can't wait for this but I also really hope manga readers don't spoil it for you on YT! Chainsaw Man gets pretty wild and is the kind of experience you don't want spoiled
