Review of Chainsaw Man
For those who are interested in watching it just to enjoy a good series: The story follows Denji, a young man who makes a living running errands for the yakuza to pay off an exorbitant debt that keeps him destitute, and his partner Pochita, a chainsaw dog/demon. Together, they battle all kinds of monsters as they fight for their survival in a dangerous world. From that premise, the story does nothing but escalate. The anime adaptation is notable for its fluid and detailed animation, which does justice to the manga's unique and raw drawing style; giving good fight choreographies, although sometimes it sacrifices thequality of the backgrounds a bit, but the animation always stands out in its most exciting moments as well as in the most mundane.
The music, composed by Kensuke Ushio, is a perfect complement to the fast-paced action and tense atmosphere of the story; besides, the opening and the different endings are mostly absolute bangers. The voice actors are also amazing at giving each of the leads a good personality. In an attached note, I want to say that those Spanish speakers who want to see the series, take a look at the dubbing in Spanish, because those actors have been given freedom in their expressions that ends up accentuating the most comical and acid side of the work.
The plot is exciting, while the characters are more complex than they look and are well-developed. Denji is an interesting and tragic protagonist, emphasizing a history of abuse and how a person who was initially unfairly deprived of almost everything develops and develops in a world that he does not understand very well; For the rest, the relationships with him and among others are moving, bizarre and sometimes emotional.
In addition, the series does not stray from the violence and gore that characterizes the manga, which makes the anime suitable for mature audiences and fans of horror and action.
Overall, “Chainsaw Man” is an excellent anime adaptation that captures the essence of the manga well and is a strong recommendation for those who enjoy action horror stories.
To be honest with you, I don't know where all the hate towards this series comes from, it's not like it's a bad adaptation or like it has horrible animation or overall bad style; I think that a certain group of people simply idealized the original manga so much and raised their expectations so much that they ended up creating a masterpiece in their heads at the height of the second coming of Christ. News: The adaptation wasn't perfect, and they let themselves down, but somehow the show is to blame. Instead of being carried away by the story and the characters, they were too concerned about whether the play is meeting their expectations and didn't enjoy it.
