The first season of Chainsaw Man has been excellently adapted by Mappa. I have previously read the manga and I've got too many praises and just a couple of nitpicks overall towards the adaptation. The nitpicks mainly focus on SOME action scenes that looked awkward with CG.
This episode was so so good from start to finish. The direction was so good. The action scenes in this episode was in my opinion flawless. Great conclusion to the Katana Devil arc. Character acting animation was as always THE BEST in the anime industry. Loved the ED song as well.
The first 38 chapters which the season adapted is rather TAME compared to the upcoming 60. So I am really looking forward to what mappa does with the upcoming arc which are the stronger arcs of CSM.
