Chainsaw Man (2022)
8/10
Solid devil hunting action
14 January 2023
This series is centred on Denji, a poverty stricken young man who, along with his chainsaw devil-dog Pochita, hunts devils for the Yakuza. Following a betrayal he is killed. That isn't the end for him though Pochita merges with him and he becomes a devil, in certain conditions his arms become chainsaws and another chainsaw emerges from his head! He is recruited to the government Devil Hunters. All this happens in the opening episode. His life is about to get a lot more interesting as he and his new partner face various devils.

I thought this was really solid. It doesn't waste much time setting up the basic premise and delivers lots of gory action in every episode. The characters are a lot of fun; I especially liked Denji's partner, Power. The story manages to include some amusing moments that contrast nicely with the violence. The character designs and backgrounds look pretty good. Overall I'd say this is definitely worth watching if you want gory devil-fighting action.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
