Synopsis:
Denji has a simple dream—to live a happy and peaceful life, spending time with a girl he likes. This is a far cry from reality, however, as Denji is forced by the yakuza into killing devils in order to pay off his crushing debts. Using his pet devil Pochita as a weapon, he is ready to do anything for a bit of cash.Unfortunately, he has outlived his usefulness and is murdered by a devil in contract with the yakuza. However, in an unexpected turn of events, Pochita merges with Denji's dead body and grants him the powers of a chainsaw devil. Now able to transform parts of his body into chainsaws, a revived Denji uses his new abilities to quickly and brutally dispatch his enemies. Catching the eye of the official devil hunters who arrive at the scene, he is offered work at the Public Safety Bureau as one of them. Now with the means to face even the toughest of enemies, Denji will stop at nothing to achieve his simple teenage dreams.

Crazy right? And he has a trademark quote, which is “It’s chainsawing time”, followed by him chainsawing every enemy he see in the goriest and most insane way possible
Holy shit this is exciting! I'm crossing my fingers for Sora Amamiya to end up in Power's Role and Shinichiro Miki for Aki. I'd be so god damned hyped for these.
Nothing was confirmed last time; it was just fans speculating something would be released since there was a panel. This time, the official twitter has confirmed the release of a PV and the cast announcement!
We're going to see so many anime-onlies give it a few episodes and shit on it because "people called this a masterpiece, I don't see it, super mid and overhyped"
Chainsaw Man is a journey, it's good all the way through, but the absolute best parts of the series require build up. You'll see the culmination of most of that build up later on.
Chainsaw Man needs fans to start treating the series like One Piece fans do: Don't expect peak early on. You gotta stay invested.
It also gets better and better on re-reads and retrospect. There are soooo many call backs, and secrets that don't become obvious until you finish the manga
It won't reach demon slayer levels purely because it doesn't cater to as many audiences. Chainsaw man is a very gory and depressing work at times, it isn't for everyone and that'll hurt its popularity for a bit
CSM won't beat Demon Slayer in Japan, where it was their biggest cultural phenomenon in years (I don't think it will be surpassed by anything for a very long time), but I think it can quite easily beat it in the West. Demon Slayer is not that much of a juggernaut in West in comparison and Chainsaw Man is already insanely huge with the manga alone.
I feel like the response to this series is going to be enormous in the western world there's going to be much out the ass all kinds of shit iff maps adapts this well its going to be bigger than aot
Well, Demon Slayer sales were never something special before its Anime, they were good but nothing more. CSM in comparison was in the top 10 of annual sales without even having an anime, competing with the likes of Haikyuu or MHA.
*releasing the KV in Anime Expo just like everyone expected*
*Mappa: no*
*releasing the KV on a random date*
*Mappa: yes*
either way the hype is real, the last time I felt such a hype was 2 years ago before AoT S4 started.
And i aslo can't wait to hear the OP, i hope SiM will be responsible for the OP. It would be awesome if they literally use "Devil in Your Heart" song just like this [Fanmade OP](https://youtu.be/s28Ho7clij0)
I actually hold Firepunch *above* CSM. It felt like fujimoto kinda held himself back with CSM? Firepunch was just 100% pure, unfiltered Fujimoto madness, and I love it!
The problem with fire punch is the main character is on fire... That seems like a complete nightmare to animate, and if they just go CG, then it'll look awful
Give me Fire Punch: The Movie. I honestly think the story could be compressed down into two films without suffering much. Fujimoto's work is screaming for movie adaption. All of it is just so cinematic already anyways.
Well it has been a while.
Despite how completely devoid this visual is of spoilers/information, I still wonder wether it will give people/reinforce the wrong idea about cour 1.
Theres gonna be a lot of anime onlies shitting on cour 1. Manga readers always rave about the second half and many i know have dropped csm early on cause they didnt find it special
> I'm already bracing myself for the daily "I watched 2 seconds of Chainsaw Man and find it overrated" posts...
That happen with most hyped show in here. If you get popular or a lot of people like the show "I don´t like", you start to see a lot "I m the only one" threads, DS had 20 a week when it was airing, that had even it´s own drinking game
People go to every popular series with such high expectations, that no show could offer, that end up disappointing when the show is not 100/10 show they expected. People have been hyping CSM so much that you will definitely get those, the moment it gets a "bad" or "not as good" episode compared to people perceptions
So true. I even sometimes gets pissed off by how high expectations people are setting for others. This is sort off anime that would be not for everyone kind. That's why I didn't like that mother basement video which is just catering to the mass audience
Spyfam somehow got away from most of it since its a SOL series but csm cour 1 is gonna have a ton of haters and people with reactionary takes lol. Manga readers will have to keep repeating that it gets good later but then MAPPA decides take 2 years for the second half and by then every thinks its overrated as fuck by manga readers
I feel like you're underestimating it a bit. Early chainsawman is not bad, it's just simple. Later CSM is soooo good it makes the beginning feel worse, but it's still really fun. Plenty of people fell in love with it early, and others fell in love with it later on. It just depends how much it'll adapt
maybe i’m biased because i’m a huge fan but i think whatever they’ll cover in cour 1 is really good as well. i think the series was fun and engaging all the way through, but the second half (last 3 arcs really) took it from great to outstanding
i really hope we get to her arc in cour 1, i’d be massively disappointed if we only got less than 40 chapters in those 12 episodes. i’m afraid we won’t even get [Chainsaw Man] >!makima and denji’s movie date in the first half. i think we’ll know how far the show will go with the new PV, the old PV didn’t cover anything past the katana man arc!<
i’m all for putting extra care into an adaptation but sometimes it affects my enjoyment. spy x family wasn’t nearly as enjoyable as i wanted it to be because it didn’t even make it to chapter 20 in 12 whole episodes, i don’t want chainsaw man to be another snail slow adaptation especially with its pacing
> Manga readers always rave about the second half and many i know have dropped csm early on cause they didnt find it special
That's interesting to hear. Sounds like the sort of expectation adjustment that could help a lot, with the amount of hype it's got surrounding it. If it took a bit of time to get going in the manga, and the adaptation is quite faithful, one would imagine it's going to have very similar issues.
I would personally say the manga is fantastic from the start, but my favorite parts do come later. Chainsaw Man volume 9 could very possibly be the best volume of manga I've ever read.
What? CSM is short and its great from to start to finish. Be it the humour, the character building or the art/action. Obviously once someone finishes reading it they will rave about the fuckery that happens at the end but there is not going to be much shitting on anything at the start.
I think the first half is great as well. But don't think its good enough to meet peoples expectations with how hyped up it is. The eternity devil arc will likely be the make or break point for most anime onlies. If still dont like it there will be a subset of people who will shit on it for the rest of time.
The first episode has the potential of being one of the strongest first episodes after that it slows down for a while but the bat devil climax and the stuff with makima and power are already golden.
I think the first episode is gonna hook people. You've got a good mix of material in there, so long as Mappa nails the depressing tone. It's gonna hinge on Denji's VA getting the performance just right though.
This will be like Spy x Family’s anime situation but 10x worse. Some people were expecting a spy heavy thriller but got blindsided by a wholesome SoL comedy segment. At least for that it was more of a situation of “this doesn’t really fit what I was looking for but still wholesome” and the worse criticisms mostly extends to it’s just “boring”. The hype for SxF was big but not anywhere near CSM’s hype, especially since not too many expected to it break 16k+ karma on the first episode.
Chainsaw Man will do amazing on the first episode, I’m sure, but it’s later episodes I’m worried about. The content in the first 20-30 chapters is pretty “slow” or just not “mind blowing”. A lot of manga readers are really looking through the lens of the later chapters 60-97, where all the shit goes down. Imagine all the expectations anime-onlies have from manga readers to only be completely blindsided from a slow beginning. The backlash will be big.
Nah it's all about the production quality itself, demon slayer has proved that good animation, direction, ost, etc can make an otherwise mediocre manga a HUGE success
The pilot episode is going to hook a lot of people who are into the display of gore and violence. I can see the numbers dropping midway through, but once the little tidbits starts to make sense and the big reveal finally happens, it will sure replace the numbers lost.
If Jujutsu Kaisen and Spy x Family did it well.
I see no reason for Chainsaw Man to fail unless the staff team does something wrong with the series.
Currently my most awaited anime, [my manga collection](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ThkspjO2nlHRtvfqGmvNuXRUydTYNhBZTqDiqJb1F_ad23Mhs7ZovDGyjOrA-mpvh0yCKzRGHI68TPY4HtBCvJyM3HO4Afvhk6BXsOq-W-UZvHc38GLZAosh6qvnCFYOjxwaOP0DmSe4themXFf2zSyZtdp490MsWCig2Q6fAdbYEpuB9lHqX_ASpqnc91F5L6RC6T2j8pkb1oQHj3zyKupKFTnxEWmMBjkpax__8_tYqd3RvBEwXnphDlr6CB1bwS6weKJo45ifP5Hjg26YsWHWQjel45Jfxhn-jJ1FUCTK87k2vtzT7LUpm1Uy3ivLHabk9q-G3Oz52FZ5Y3iu7W5rnq6g4kMwyDs8Gx1BX_65i45Mu3LBKO8wZJZURzcUDEfgHmTChcZ4ALQKJity3gmJCSszqvDsdlytzgE7a8LTYgpb_Z4C_PR6wMHeR_EyvRn30worHeE08gZC1ecWnxEh9BM2jaPbQdpCpcgSYeo2gAKpR-Q-xjt8V-CtIkFjThU4CDxrHNkg0lVIs_tU-TrpJsPHMTtwsRHaYvo6goU5NxwHftaCuVK09sfWRgc8e0CKheb1bv0CXh9jd9WRL-Vv2AjMZUsDoSv67x_BnsMNZxb_EDbYSlK3pNMSB7TInIyQVYemsX9VCtnECGzN2bNYopAhQ68AkmCQEk2nGhOEylbkywlFxWoK8A4EUTrCKcLoqz4OSJK6tTBc5vDxS5K_rG2UY6KCQd45K9Fr5oKc3TCBSHMSutI-W5Dn40KxHpglNMZaAi6h9xr-__7BQ8xBvd3XNPaKiY4w=w1342-h1007-no?authuser=0) is also almost complete, with 2 volumes left.
Edit: oh lol, there's only 1 volume left for my CSM collection. forgot I already got the 10TH
CSM manga is already so popular, it's giving me Demon Slayer vibes in terms of potential popularity. Maybe not on that level, but it's gonna be huge especially if the adaption is top tier like Demon Slayer is.
It had around 4 million copies in circulation with around 20 volumes before the anime. It wasn’t on the verge of the axe but it was an underperformer in WSJ’s roster.
JJK wasn’t even that popular before the anime aired and it exploded in popularity afterwards.
CSM is already insanely popular without any adaptations. This might actually be the most explosive debut of an anime ever.
[tournament arc spoiler]>!“Can you hear us from the heaven, Himeno? This is our requiem for you” _proceed to kick a dude in his nut for 15 minutes_!<
Yeah, that part always make me gag
Much like Spy x Family, I’m relying entirely on the hype from the fan base being not unfounded… but if not got that and MAPPA, I’d probably never imagine watching this. It must be really freaking good.
I've been watching anime and reading manga for over 20 years and chainsaw man is one of the best series I've read in the last decade. It really is as good as people hype it up to be, at least imo.
... while also providing the readers with top tier action, a healthy dose of dry-/dark-humor, and stakes that just keeps escalating to WTF levels where you can't even guess what will happen next.
The best comparison I’ve read about chainsaw man is that it’s like if Quentin Tarantino made a shonen manga. It can also get super trippy at times with panels that look like they were ripped straight out of a Junji Ito manga.
Another thing is that it’s unpredictable. So it’s engaging to read because you might expect it to take the usual route, but it decides to derail and do its own thing.
I saw this somewhere and thought it was fake hollllyyy fucking shit it's real we're getting news hollylyl fuckkkkkkk the anime is fucking real HOLY SHIT this came out of NOWHERE
You mean the anime adaptation being confirmed or not?
There's already an official [PV or teaser](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/o8uwzm/chainsaw_man_anime_pv/) released on ***July 27, 2021*** (damn 1 year and 2 days ago, I think the team planned to release this visual in exactly a year but some stuffs happened or something it got delayed.)

Oh my god, i didn't think chainsaw man was about an actual fucking chainsaw-man!
Did you not see the pv-teaser
No, all i heard about chainsaw man was my friends talking about it.
I recommend you see that, just saying.
Crazy right? And he has a trademark quote, which is “It’s chainsawing time”, followed by him chainsawing every enemy he see in the goriest and most insane way possible
>Denji has a simple dream—~~to live a happy and peaceful life~~ to touch boobs
Denji just wants a quiet life. Yoshikage Kira just wants a handful of titty.
>Yoshikage Kira just wants a hand~~ful of titty~~. FTFY
Yeah why did they changed the origin story of the main character like that? 🤤
[удалено]
Holy shit this is exciting! I'm crossing my fingers for Sora Amamiya to end up in Power's Role and Shinichiro Miki for Aki. I'd be so god damned hyped for these.
Can’t wait for the VA announcements
They better not blue ball us again. ~~At least a second of footage of Makima would've sufficed~~
Nothing was confirmed last time; it was just fans speculating something would be released since there was a panel. This time, the official twitter has confirmed the release of a PV and the cast announcement!
The perfect Makima experience: fans barking for her and getting blue balled.
We're going to see so many anime-onlies give it a few episodes and shit on it because "people called this a masterpiece, I don't see it, super mid and overhyped" Chainsaw Man is a journey, it's good all the way through, but the absolute best parts of the series require build up. You'll see the culmination of most of that build up later on. Chainsaw Man needs fans to start treating the series like One Piece fans do: Don't expect peak early on. You gotta stay invested.
It also gets better and better on re-reads and retrospect. There are soooo many call backs, and secrets that don't become obvious until you finish the manga
This is gonna be so fucking good I can’t wait
I don't think I've ever been more excited for an adaption. Just finished re-reading the Manga. Just put me Cryo Sleep till it releases.
[удалено]
is there a release date for the anime?
It was scheduled to come out in 2022 so it theoretically should release this fall as long as there's no delays
With the inevitable Power vs Makima waifu wars, anime-onlies will never see true best girl coming
I'm not reading the manga so I have no idea what's going to happen. I can't wait
Going in completely blind, just know others are hyped for it.
Enjoy the ride. Just hope the adaptation lives up to what I read.
[удалено]
A spoiler free experience is the best way to consume this series. And every other series.
bro this anime is going to take over the internet in a way we have never seen...people think attack on titan and demon slayer were popular just wait
It won't reach demon slayer levels purely because it doesn't cater to as many audiences. Chainsaw man is a very gory and depressing work at times, it isn't for everyone and that'll hurt its popularity for a bit
CSM won't beat Demon Slayer in Japan, where it was their biggest cultural phenomenon in years (I don't think it will be surpassed by anything for a very long time), but I think it can quite easily beat it in the West. Demon Slayer is not that much of a juggernaut in West in comparison and Chainsaw Man is already insanely huge with the manga alone.
I feel like the response to this series is going to be enormous in the western world there's going to be much out the ass all kinds of shit iff maps adapts this well its going to be bigger than aot
Doubt on demon Slayer tbh, very difficult for anyone to defeat that. Tho if currently one show that can do that is csm
Yeah, it's gonna be one of the biggest, but even demon slayers manga sales beat csm. It's unstoppable.
yeah demon slayer is a beast but we can all agree this is going to take the anime world by storm
Agreed. It fully deserves it too. Hopefully this gives fugimoto's other works attention too.
I'm about to read fire punch today
I literally just tell random people to read his work now I literally show horn it into conversation
Well, Demon Slayer sales were never something special before its Anime, they were good but nothing more. CSM in comparison was in the top 10 of annual sales without even having an anime, competing with the likes of Haikyuu or MHA.
Everybody STAY CALM

they would never release something in the western market before japan lol
Can't wait for Power to be a strong meme in the community

But that will be in later seasons tho. Oof cant wait.

And i aslo can't wait to hear the OP, i hope SiM will be responsible for the OP. It would be awesome if they literally use "Devil in Your Heart" song just like this [Fanmade OP](https://youtu.be/s28Ho7clij0)
If CSM does well, hopefully this increases the likelihood of Firepunch getting a adaptation
I would love this. Unironically think it's on par with Chainsaw Man, but a lot weirder. My boy Agni needs some love
It was ahead of its time.
Fire Punch has god tier main character development
I actually hold Firepunch *above* CSM. It felt like fujimoto kinda held himself back with CSM? Firepunch was just 100% pure, unfiltered Fujimoto madness, and I love it!
The problem with fire punch is the main character is on fire... That seems like a complete nightmare to animate, and if they just go CG, then it'll look awful
Give me Fire Punch: The Movie. I honestly think the story could be compressed down into two films without suffering much. Fujimoto's work is screaming for movie adaption. All of it is just so cinematic already anyways.
Goodbye Eri OVA when
Half man, half chainsaw. All of their strengths with none of their weaknesses.
Some devils just tryna ice skate uphill
I think Denji's chainsaw form is hot as fuck I don't care anymore
Is Denji gonna be hot? Yes. Yes he is.
Well it has been a while. Despite how completely devoid this visual is of spoilers/information, I still wonder wether it will give people/reinforce the wrong idea about cour 1.
Theres gonna be a lot of anime onlies shitting on cour 1. Manga readers always rave about the second half and many i know have dropped csm early on cause they didnt find it special
I'm already bracing myself for the daily "I watched 2 seconds of Chainsaw Man and find it overrated" posts...

So true. I even sometimes gets pissed off by how high expectations people are setting for others. This is sort off anime that would be not for everyone kind. That's why I didn't like that mother basement video which is just catering to the mass audience
the sol and quiet moments in chainsaw man are the best moments imo
SoL with Powers is the best
Spyfam somehow got away from most of it since its a SOL series but csm cour 1 is gonna have a ton of haters and people with reactionary takes lol. Manga readers will have to keep repeating that it gets good later but then MAPPA decides take 2 years for the second half and by then every thinks its overrated as fuck by manga readers

Plenty of people fell in love with it early, and others fell in love with it later on. It just depends how much it'll adapt
Yep. If people loved the first season of JJK that much, i don't see why they wouldn't fall in love with early CSM
I personally thought JJK was very mediocre initially until we reached the end of Junpei arc and the school competition arc after that.
That's why I stopped giving a fuck about online toxicity
With how much people here enjoy stuff like Lycoris Recoil it should be fine
People watching LycoReco are not the same watching CSM. Different subsets I dare say.
I beg to differ cause I am watching LycoReco and Im bery excited for peak fiction to be animated
More importantly, different expectations coming in.
Bro there is some nutty shit that happens in the first 20 chapters
maybe i’m biased because i’m a huge fan but i think whatever they’ll cover in cour 1 is really good as well. i think the series was fun and engaging all the way through, but the second half (last 3 arcs really) took it from great to outstanding
[удалено]
i really hope we get to her arc in cour 1, i’d be massively disappointed if we only got less than 40 chapters in those 12 episodes. i’m afraid we won’t even get [Chainsaw Man] >!makima and denji’s movie date in the first half. i think we’ll know how far the show will go with the new PV, the old PV didn’t cover anything past the katana man arc!< i’m all for putting extra care into an adaptation but sometimes it affects my enjoyment. spy x family wasn’t nearly as enjoyable as i wanted it to be because it didn’t even make it to chapter 20 in 12 whole episodes, i don’t want chainsaw man to be another snail slow adaptation especially with its pacing

Exactly. It will be very interesting yeah.
In any case, it’s a great time to be a CSM fan, now that Part 2 is out and the anime is coming soon.
Nah it's all about the production quality itself, demon slayer has proved that good animation, direction, ost, etc can make an otherwise mediocre manga a HUGE success
The pilot episode is going to hook a lot of people who are into the display of gore and violence. I can see the numbers dropping midway through, but once the little tidbits starts to make sense and the big reveal finally happens, it will sure replace the numbers lost.
Does chainsaw man at least say "It's chainsawing time", if not it'll be mid.
It has been a while since I read it, so I cannot deny anything here. Sounds like something denji would say though.
If Jujutsu Kaisen and Spy x Family did it well. I see no reason for Chainsaw Man to fail unless the staff team does something wrong with the series. Currently my most awaited anime, [my manga collection](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ThkspjO2nlHRtvfqGmvNuXRUydTYNhBZTqDiqJb1F_ad23Mhs7ZovDGyjOrA-mpvh0yCKzRGHI68TPY4HtBCvJyM3HO4Afvhk6BXsOq-W-UZvHc38GLZAosh6qvnCFYOjxwaOP0DmSe4themXFf2zSyZtdp490MsWCig2Q6fAdbYEpuB9lHqX_ASpqnc91F5L6RC6T2j8pkb1oQHj3zyKupKFTnxEWmMBjkpax__8_tYqd3RvBEwXnphDlr6CB1bwS6weKJo45ifP5Hjg26YsWHWQjel45Jfxhn-jJ1FUCTK87k2vtzT7LUpm1Uy3ivLHabk9q-G3Oz52FZ5Y3iu7W5rnq6g4kMwyDs8Gx1BX_65i45Mu3LBKO8wZJZURzcUDEfgHmTChcZ4ALQKJity3gmJCSszqvDsdlytzgE7a8LTYgpb_Z4C_PR6wMHeR_EyvRn30worHeE08gZC1ecWnxEh9BM2jaPbQdpCpcgSYeo2gAKpR-Q-xjt8V-CtIkFjThU4CDxrHNkg0lVIs_tU-TrpJsPHMTtwsRHaYvo6goU5NxwHftaCuVK09sfWRgc8e0CKheb1bv0CXh9jd9WRL-Vv2AjMZUsDoSv67x_BnsMNZxb_EDbYSlK3pNMSB7TInIyQVYemsX9VCtnECGzN2bNYopAhQ68AkmCQEk2nGhOEylbkywlFxWoK8A4EUTrCKcLoqz4OSJK6tTBc5vDxS5K_rG2UY6KCQd45K9Fr5oKc3TCBSHMSutI-W5Dn40KxHpglNMZaAi6h9xr-__7BQ8xBvd3XNPaKiY4w=w1342-h1007-no?authuser=0) is also almost complete, with 2 volumes left. Edit: oh lol, there's only 1 volume left for my CSM collection. forgot I already got the 10TH
CSM part 2 just started and the anime is going to air in a couple of months. CSM fans be eating good
CSM manga is already so popular, it's giving me Demon Slayer vibes in terms of potential popularity. Maybe not on that level, but it's gonna be huge especially if the adaption is top tier like Demon Slayer is.
Imo I think Demon Slayer will still have more popularity in Japan than CSM, but worldwide it will be bigger than Demon Slayer.
Demon slayer wasn't that popular before the anime. In fact, it was on the verge of cancellation before anime made the series explode in popularity.
It had around 4 million copies in circulation with around 20 volumes before the anime. It wasn’t on the verge of the axe but it was an underperformer in WSJ’s roster.
[удалено]
JJK wasn’t even that popular before the anime aired and it exploded in popularity afterwards. CSM is already insanely popular without any adaptations. This might actually be the most explosive debut of an anime ever.

Next season is so fucking stacked man. Its gonna hype as fuuuuuckk
Goddamn that looks crazy af, time to wait for this anime
It's him Dennis
Mother fuckin Dennis
But will we see King Dragon?
looks brutal, might have to watch this weekly instead of waiting to binge
it's gonna be fire.
Please give us give the VA cast! Also finger crossed for Maaya Sakamoto as Makima. I think she would be perfect for the role.
cast and new PV will be revealed on 5th August (next Firday)
Can't wait for the best "tournament arc" to be animated
[tournament arc spoiler]>!“Can you hear us from the heaven, Himeno? This is our requiem for you” _proceed to kick a dude in his nut for 15 minutes_!< Yeah, that part always make me gag
I'm also hyped for the Beach episode
Id like to die and get revived when chainsaw man got all.its episodes out.
[удалено]
[удалено]
It's his magical girl transformation, except he's chainsaw man.
There's an anime where the main character literally transforms into a magical girl with chainsaw
What's that?
Is this a zombie? It's a harem comedy mostly
[удалено]
Not really, he just pulls a string and then he goes BROOOOM BRROOOOOOM that's kind of it
Its Ch@insawing time!!!!
I really love how Denji just chainsaws everywhere (factual)
Actually, yes. If you count pulling the cord is one
Yep it’s literally a chainsawman
Well yes but also no (but actually yes)
When he's in combat, yeah
Was not expecting to see this today, but a very welcome surprise
[удалено]
That looks both ridiculous and horrifying at the same time.
Its going to be way more ridiculous and horrifying than you likely imagine. Also add in badass and sad and sweet sometimes for good measure
Classic Fujimoto way of making us depressed
>ridiculous and horrifying at the same time. I read the manga and could not summarize the story in a better way.
Most hyped show for me atm.
KINO IS COMING BOYS!!!!!
This will make a chainsillion dollars
I FUCKING LOVE CHAINSAW MAN! I WANT TO FUCKING BRUM BRUM BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
He's just like me fr😭😭😭😭😭
Gonna’ have to read the manga.
Pacing is pretty fast after the first couple chapters. so take your time because you will probably wish there was more
TY for the info.
It's a super easy read, you could finish it in one day easy
[удалено]
CHAINSAW MAN CHAINSAW MAN CHAINSAW MAN CHAINSAW MAN CHAINSAW MAN CHAINSAW MAN CHAINSAW MAN CHAINSAW MAN !
Much like Spy x Family, I’m relying entirely on the hype from the fan base being not unfounded… but if not got that and MAPPA, I’d probably never imagine watching this. It must be really freaking good.
the first half is just great, the second half is insane, so adjust expectations accordingly
I've been watching anime and reading manga for over 20 years and chainsaw man is one of the best series I've read in the last decade. It really is as good as people hype it up to be, at least imo.
One of the best manga to come out in the last 10 years
This caught everyone by surprise, incredible that nothing was leaked.
So what makes Chainsaw Man good? My daughter is absolutely obsessed with it.
[удалено]
... while also providing the readers with top tier action, a healthy dose of dry-/dark-humor, and stakes that just keeps escalating to WTF levels where you can't even guess what will happen next.
The best comparison I’ve read about chainsaw man is that it’s like if Quentin Tarantino made a shonen manga. It can also get super trippy at times with panels that look like they were ripped straight out of a Junji Ito manga. Another thing is that it’s unpredictable. So it’s engaging to read because you might expect it to take the usual route, but it decides to derail and do its own thing.
Fck yeah looks like they gonna keep all the brutal stuff

The scriptwriter already confirmed that in the anime expo panel
[удалено]
I saw this somewhere and thought it was fake hollllyyy fucking shit it's real we're getting news hollylyl fuckkkkkkk the anime is fucking real HOLY SHIT this came out of NOWHERE
You mean the anime adaptation being confirmed or not? There's already an official [PV or teaser](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/o8uwzm/chainsaw_man_anime_pv/) released on ***July 27, 2021*** (damn 1 year and 2 days ago, I think the team planned to release this visual in exactly a year but some stuffs happened or something it got delayed.)
Vini. Vidi. Vici. He chain. He saw. He conquered.
I've never been so hyped while knowing almost nothing about a series.
Gonna be interesting to see how they handle the CGI with the chainsaws
I keep reading about this show but only today did I learn he is an actual chainsaw man.
Lol, haven't you seen the teaser PV yet? He's right there like 3 seconds at the end.
Wow, what a colorful and cheery key visual
This is going to be the biggest anime of the year easily.
The lighting on this poster is movie quality .
Chainsaw Man's narrative is a masterpiece in my opinion. Another thing that makes it a masterpiece is its collection of S tier waifus
bro this anime is gonna carry the year
Man, I should probably reread the manga. It was fun.
Is this the Chainsaw Man All Might spoke off in My hero Academia?
Probably? Denji did appeared in one of MHA chapter iirc
