Review of Chainsaw Man
Chainsaw Man Watching it,i feel like this was a really good anime. But reviewing it back,i give it a ratings of 8,68 This anime has a good plot, although the plot concept is quite mainstream but the originality is still quite felt in the execution. Presents a unique story concept and can still be enjoyed enough. Although it can be felt that for some people the story presented may be too 'barbaric' or maybe too 'rubbish', but personally I have no problem and like this anime story that is presented. Maybe it's because basically I don't have too much expectations, so I consider this a goodanime. But basically, in general this is indeed a good anime and worth it to watch. There is a slight difference from mainstream anime that makes the story in this anime really worth following. It's interesting when we just know where the story of this anime will run in the last episode of this anime, because usually a plot has been explained directly from the first episode. But watching this anime, the 12 episodes feel as if they are a unified 'prologue' whose relevance is still quite strong and raises the same issue. As if the story has come a long way when it hasn't gone that far, maybe it's a good thing because it's the first time I've personally experienced watching something like this. The main character presented in this anime is built with a somewhat different concept. There is little connection with the fact that this main character does not know many things before entering the storyline. In the story, the main character will be faced with development while continuing to think about what values he should take. This kind of concept is a fun one, where we are not too treated to good and bad idealists who tend to be paradoxical and give birth to analysts on the internet with their edgy opinions. At least, the development of the main character in this anime can still be enjoyed enough and does not make the audience have to think too much. What's interesting about the side characters is that they don't have much connection or bond with the main character. This makes the story indeed depend on the main character. This concept was executed very well and consistently so that the audience was not confused and did not need to pay much attention to the details.
In terms of design, taking the theme of Chainsaw is really fresh and unique so it feels very original. Even the class of the main character who only wears a suit like someone who is looking for a job really feels fresh and original. In other aspects, it is actually quite interesting to explore. The concept of demons in this anime is really very interesting and diverse. That's because they take demonic themes that are not mainstream and completely out of the box. In terms of setting, it is well executed where they combine the concept of demons with modern urban life. Really fresh and very enjoyable to watch. For other character designs, it is actually quite interesting and well executed as well. Speaking of visuals, the quality of Mappa does not need to be doubted hahahahaa. The quality presented can be said to be above standard and being able to maintain consistency is another achievement. There isn't much to criticize or praise anymore from this visual aspect. Mappa really did a good job in this anime screening. The last aspect, audio. It is interesting to see the determination of the production team to maximize this aspect. Starting from a catchy opening and ending with a different ending song in each episode, although in some moments the song is suitable, there are also moments where it feels like the song is not suitable. But overall, appreciation for the production team and the theme song bearers in this anime. Talking about the quality of voice actors is quite interesting to discuss. Considering that the majority of voice actors in this anime are all new voice actors, but combined with several famous voice actors also in the end gives birth to the right combination. In the end, all played their respective roles very well and matched the characters they brought.
I would highly recommend you to watch this anime, but it should be noted that this anime has a fairly long and weighty story. But in my opinion, investing in the development of anime and manga stories is not a bad thing and in vain. The consideration is that if you need a typical story of shounen actions with different spices, trying to follow this anime is the right move. But from my point of view if you are a connoisseur of great taste, this anime will not enter into your taste buds if you are not open and set your standards too high. In the end, I personally just want to say that there is no need to set too high a standard for entertainment, because it seems that it is just torturing yourself to try to relax. Yes, the point is, please watch this anime if you want to feel a story that is somewhat different from other anime.
