Chainsaw Man: Denji's Wild Ride - Review

Chainsaw Man

Spoilers Ahead!

Today I'll be reviewing an awesome anime, but it's not that impressive because of some ecchi moments. I will explain my thoughts about it in my post. There are many reasons for me to make this comment, so you have to read my post to understand. Anyway, the name of the anime is Chainsaw Man. This is a popular anime, and I hope anime lovers have watched it. If not, then you can gain some knowledge from my post. This anime was released in 2022, and it's now 2025. I'm watching it years later. The reason I didn't watch it back then was that it was very hyped, and I try to avoid things that are overhyped; I don't know why. However, after years, I finally decided to watch it, and I'm not completely satisfied or dissatisfied—I'm somewhere in the middle, you could say.

The trailer looked amazing, as I like to see unique types of concepts, so I thought I might like it. The voice I heard in the trailer truly slayed; I got goosebumps within a few seconds. I saw a few dialogues, which made me guess that the theme is about fighting devils, as they are devil hunters. It's about protecting humankind from these devils, so I liked the concept. Also, the movements in the fighting scenes looked great, the animation looks cool to me, and the music rocks. There was a lot of bloodshed, and the trailer looked cool to me, making me want to watch the anime instantly.

The story begins with a guy and his monster pet. He has no one and only works for others as a devil hunter. He finishes off the devils with the help of his pet. The guy's name is Denji, and the pet's name is Pochita. The pet cannot talk, but he communicates with his pet all day; they seem to have a great bond. One day, he was hired to eliminate a monster and got tricked. That monster was huge, and he could barely survive; he got caught. He was brutally killed, but his monster pet saved his life, although Pochita vanished. We get to see a past life of Pochita, where Denji and he grew up together and how Denji helped him survive and took care of him. So, the pet decided to give up his life and instead wanted Denji to fulfill his dreams, as devils have to make a deal in exchange for something. Denji regained his senses but was devastated by not being able to find Pochita. Lateral, we see that he pulls the string on his chest, and his head transforms, activating his chainsaw-like hybrid form, and he kills the huge monster, taking revenge for Pochita. In the end, he was discovered by Maki. The story follows that Maki will take care of Denji's needs, and in return, he has to work as a hunter under their company. Denji is happy, as he never had anyone around, and now he can have a proper portion of food. He dreams of having Maki as his lover.

As the story progresses, we see that he is very fond of sexual things, and many other things on his wishlist. He feels motivated to fight because of this wishlist; otherwise, he does not have any other reason to fight the monsters. Anyway, He is seen fighting the monsters, but he is not always overpowered; sometimes he is. Also, he meets many people on his journey, Maki forms a team for him, and he works with them.

To be honest, I really liked the fighting scenes. Sometimes I felt Denji was overhyped, but not always; it would be no fun if we kept seeing him winning without losing, as it's very common to see the protagonist win. In this anime, every character is given screen time, and there are some awesome characters. The only thing I didn't like is that Denji is not a character that I would look up to. Yes, he is crazy good at fighting, but I don't like his personality at all; he only thinks of sexual things all the time, and his main goal is hilarious to me. Seriously, why is the character so annoying? I found him very annoying, and I really don't like this type of character as the main protagonist at all; actually, it's my personal opinion. They could have chosen a better concept to make it unique; to make it unique doesn't mean you make someone with zero personality. It was funny, though, to see him say things like that, but honestly, I didn't enjoy these scenes at all. What kept me watching this anime was the fighting scenes and the other characters; I liked all the other characters. I just wanted to avoid all of the ecchi moments. Well, I would like to see Denji's character improvement. Of course I liked the animation the most, for that reason they should be admired.

From what I could see in the trailer, there is good animation, lots of blood and a catchy opening. I've heard very good things about this anime, although maybe it's too gory for my taste.

Cheers!

Yes too much of bloodshed, better not watch it if you don't like this type of concept.

I loved this adaptation, although I personally prefer the manga much more, and although many people didn't like that the style of the anime was so far away from the manga style, at least for me it was a more than good adaptation. Good fights and with extra scenes that added much more personality to several of the characters of this work.
