What if all of mankind’s fear created monsters? How big would those monsters be? Think about every instance in human history and turn it into a monster. Some of those monsters would be godlike or the size of freakin Godzilla. How could one fight against the monsters that were created out of fear? Would you make a deal with other monsters to gain powers to destroy other monsters? Chainsaw Man is a crazy, insane, and entertaining anime in which the main character makes a deal to battle devils.
Overview
Chainsaw Man is set in a unique world where Devils are born from the fears of man. Taking place in an alternative timeline in 1997, several events have changed. The Soviet Union is still up and running; the Holocaust, AIDS epidemic, and everything that had caused fear in man have entirely been erased from history. Only the four most powerful Devils in existence remember those events. Individuals called Devil Hunters are tasked with hunting and exterminating devils. Humans also have the ability to make contracts with Devils, allowing them to use the Devil’s power at a steep and deadly price.
Chainsaw Man revolves around the adventure of Denji. Denji is a young man born into a hard life. He is dead broke and working as a Devil Hunter to pay off his deceased father’s debt to the yakuza with the aid of Pochita, his canine companion, and Chainsaw Devil. Denji’s motivation is his dream of living a good, simple life filled with delicious food and a fine-ass girl by his side. Denji’s world completely changes when he is betrayed by the yakuza. Denji is killed. As his hopes and dreams slowly fade, his body is merged with Pochita, with whom he made an old contract. Pochita bestows devil powers on Denji, transforming him into a chainsaw-wielding beast. Denji’s new abilities gain the watchful eye of the Public Safety Bureau’s elite devil hunter, Makima. Makima takes Denji in and lets him live as long as he obeys her every command. Denji devotes everything he has to Makima as she promises him his one wish. Denji soon catches the eye of many other Devils who want his legendary powers.
Review:
This show is freakin AWESOME, and everyone should watch it. It is mature, but you will have a great time watching. I was highly impressed with the story, characters, animation, and everything else involved in this anime. I heard everyone talking about this anime, and it sucks that the new season hasn’t come out yet. The world needs more Chainsaw Man. Bring us, Chainsaw Man!!
The story is hilarious, intense, and bloody. Denji is happy with his life but changes when he is killed and merges with Pochita to become a devil. The main thing that keeps Denji going is trying to hook up with Makima. All the man wants to do is see some titties, and he goes hard in the paint for it. When he is fighting the bat devil, that is all he talks about is seeing Makima’s tits and wanting to feel up on them. Even when Power comes into the picture, he gets his chance to feel up on her for a couple of seconds and dude loses his mind.
The first part is a side story; the main story is about the Public Safety Division, led by Makima, to find and destroy a particular Devil. Denji is paired with an experienced Devil Hunter named Aki Hayakawa, who fight each other when they first meet. Denji does that man dirty, repeatedly kicking that man in his McNuggets. When the crew meets Power, things become even weirder, but for the most part, each episode is dedicated to tracking down and eliminating certain devils.
Now shit gets crazy in this anime, and the blood and limbs fly. When Denji first becomes a devil in the room, dude goes insane as he cuts everything and everyone. Another great scene is when Denji fights the Bat Devil. That whole fight is awesome because he goes beast mode with titties on his mind. Dude goes Super Sayin level 3 when thinking about feeling up on Makima. It is funny, but the scenes are intense and awesome. I will say that the ending was out of this world because when Makima reveals her secret and her powers, shit really hits the fan, and she does it with a smile on her face. The action in this anime is fun to watch and will keep you wanting to continue to watch this series.
The animation of this anime is phenomenal. The style of this anime was different as it was darker and different. It was crisp, sometimes colorful, but when the action hit, we saw dark red blood fly, but the environments were different with each mission. The hotel episode was something to watch as it had that creepy, gloomy look to it. All the characters were drawn in such a way to make them memorable. When Denji becomes a devil, his teeth become sharp, and his aura seems to change. Power had pink air with little horns. Makima was drawn in a way that will make you want her, but knows death is close by.
As far as characters go, there are a few characters I want to give the spotlight on. First is my boy Denji. Denji is a young man who has lived a hard life and inherited a debt from the yakuza. Denji is a straight-up horny boy. When he becomes the Chainsaw Devil, dude lets loose on wanting to fill up on girls. Is it a little pervy? Yes, but with him, it’s funny because he has a goal to accomplish his missions. I also like that he is pretty chill and wants the best for people. He doesn’t get too upset and tries to fight for everyone. At the end of the day, he is a teenage boy.
Another character is Aki Hayakawa. Aki is the exact opposite of Denji. Aki is cool, calm, and someone you can always count on, Devil Hunter. He has a gentle side but is seeking vengeance against the Gun Devil for killing his family. Aki is pretty cool as he has a contract with the Fox Devil, but he also wields a sword that, when used, takes some of his lifespans.
On the female side, there is Power. What a freakin name! If you are named Power, you should have it, and this character does. Power is a Blood Fiend, a young girl with long pink hair and short red horns. Homegirl LOVES violence, and when she has her weapon in hand, look out. Power is a flip of the coin when it comes to her personality. Even though she loves violence and destruction, she does have a caring heart as in the love of her cat. She does have the brain of a kid, as in not flushing. She might be cute, but it’s a total downgrade when you don’t flush the toilet. You nasty.
The one character I want to make sure I discuss is Makima. Makima is FOINE! She is the head of Public Safety Division 4, but her looks bend Denji and men to their knees. When I first saw her and the closeup of her eyes, you should know she was a devil. She appears to be a kind, compassionate leader, but she is extremely manipulative and controlling. She controls Denji through his love for her. When it is time for Makima to get her hands dirty, holy shit, does she destroy all around her with such a seductive smile on her face.
Chainsaw Man is an AWESOME anime that should be watched. It is a mature anime, not for kids but if you are an adult, you better watch it. The story is fascinating, with blood and incredible fights. The characters are fantastic, each one having their own drama and goals. The animation is one of the best I have seen. Watch Chainsaw Man and root for Denji to achieve his goals.
