Review of Chainsaw Man

I liked Denji, he’s a simple man with simple motivations and powers. I liked most of the characters as well, but I found their design a bit lacking. We couldn’t do better than black suit and tie? The art and animation are on par with its peers but do not exceed them. The story was well paced and driven. I loved the different endings and themes and the op was cool and memorable; this bumped it up to a seven. Before I continue I wanna get something out of the way. I do not like Power, I get the character but she is not forme. What dragged this series down was the lack of innovation. This is just another Naruto/Gintama style cast on a mission to collect the dragon balls/sacred jewel shards. It’s dark, mysterious and violent; and I would’ve loved it 30 years ago. Today it's just a variation of something I’ve already seen.
