Chainsaw Man
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Meet Denji: a teenager with nothing left to lose, so broke he sold an eye and a kidney just to chip away at his dead father's yakuza debt. His only friend in the world is Pochita, a small chainsaw-headed devil dog who helps him hunt devils for cash he never gets to keep. When the yakuza decide he's more useful dead than alive, Pochita merges with Denji's body to save his life, and now this kid can rip chainsaws out of his face and arms. That's how he gets recruited into the government's Public Safety Division by a woman named Makima, who offers him something revolutionary: regular meals and a place to sleep. Denji's not fighting for honor or revenge or to save the world. He just wants to eat bread with jam and maybe hold a girl's hand. The cast around him, Aki, a revenge-driven devil hunter with actual ambition, and Power, a chaotic blood fiend with zero impulse control, makes for a team dynamic that's equal parts dysfunctional and genuinely funny. MAPPA went hard on this one, with fluid fight animation and a different ending theme for every single episode across all 12. The tone sits somewhere between Jujutsu Kaisen's cursed action and Dorohedoro's grimy absurdity, with a bit of Devilman Crybaby's willingness to go dark without warning. It's crude, bloody, weirdly heartfelt, and set in a late-90s Japan where devils are just part of daily life. If that sounds like your thing, this is a pretty easy 12-episode commitment.

Bueno con lo que respecta a este anime, vi la primera temporada, aún no vi la película, pero sé que lo que viene a continuación la verdad no me llama mucho la atención, pero hablando de la primera temporada es muy buena
L'evoluzione dello studio mappa!!!
It was cool
Yum, yuum show. A bit freaky sometimes and kinda weird. But overall very good, cool themes and everything
Gr8 story amazing animation
It's an insane anime for people that want to see new and weird things.
Deep lore, abstracting, good fights
Peak, love the action
It provides a brilliant cinematic experience.
fancy animation and effects but I do not think the plot is perfect
Excellently done animation and action sequences, with an undercurrent of pitch black comedy.
I love everything and everyone here. I also love the pacing of the story. I love the inspirations and themes
Really twist full and messy--but interesting enough,and the art style is yes.Not my fav vibe or genre though.
chainman
loved the opening with all those movie reference, lots of fun action, interesting characters and bonkers soundtrack
Action done well. The show does not take it seriously but doesn't hold itself back for both the action scenes and the emotional scenes. Each of them are as gut wrenching and brutal as possible. Cast is a bit dull but great animation makes up for it.
Denji is pervert
