Anime Recommendation - Chainsaw Man [ENG-ESP]
Hey anime fans, this is your friend @sevenito. I hope you're all doing great. Today I need to get a little intense because I just finished (finally) the first season of Chainsaw Man, and I need to get everything off my chest out.
If you've been online lately, you've probably seen the "chainsaw dog," but I assure you that behind that image lies a story that's much more human, twisted, and fascinating than I imagined.
A protagonist you (unfortunately) identify with
Forget the hero who wants to save the world or be king of something. Denji, our protagonist, just wants to eat bread with jam and have a girlfriend. That's it.
At first, he made me laugh, but then he made me a little sad. Denji is someone who never had anything, and seeing how excited he gets about the most basic things in life makes you connect with him in a very raw way. He's not a noble warrior; He's a guy who survives however he can, and that honesty felt like a breath of fresh air amidst so many perfect protagonists.
A cinematic experience
What Studio MAPPA did with this animation is out of this world. It doesn't feel like just any anime; it feels like a cult classic.
The shots: Every scene is meticulously crafted, with framing that seems straight out of a Quentin Tarantino film.
The music: The opening is addictive, but what blew my mind the most is that each episode has a different ending theme. That shows you the level of care and budget they poured into this project.
It's not all chainsaws and action
Although there is plenty of blood and epic fights (the animation of the Demon of Eternity blew me away), what really captivated me was the melancholy.
There are moments of silence, of characters smoking on a balcony or simply having breakfast, that convey a very real sense of loneliness.
Characters like Aki and Power have layers that you gradually discover, and you end up loving them despite how chaotic they are.
My conclusion: Is the hype worth it?
Absolutely. Chainsaw Man is a rollercoaster. It makes you laugh with absurd situations, thrills you with the action, and then suddenly hits you in the gut with a heartbreaking scene.
If you're looking for something that breaks the mold of traditional shonen and isn't afraid to be dark, weird, and profoundly human all at once, you have to watch it. 9.5/10

Hola, fans del anime, les saluda su amigo @sevenito. Espero que estén increíble. Hoy me toca ponerme un poco intenso porque acabo de terminar (por fin) la primera temporada de Chainsaw Man, y necesito soltar todo lo que me dejó en la cabeza.
Si han estado en internet últimamente, seguro han visto al "perrito motosierra", pero les aseguro que detrás de esa imagen hay una historia mucho más humana, retorcida y fascinante de lo que imaginaba.
Un protagonista con el que (lastimosamente) te identificas
Olvídate del héroe que quiere salvar el mundo o ser el rey de algo. Denji, nuestro protagonista, solo quiere comer pan con mermelada y tener una novia. Eso es todo.
Al principio me dio risa, pero luego me dio un poco de tristeza. Denji es alguien que nunca tuvo nada, y ver cómo se emociona por las cosas más básicas de la vida te hace conectar con él de una forma muy cruda. No es un guerrero noble; es un chico que sobrevive como puede, y esa honestidad me pareció un soplo de aire fresco entre tantos protagonistas perfectos.
Una experiencia cinematográfica
Lo que hizo el estudio MAPPA con esta animación es de otro planeta. No se siente como un anime cualquiera; parece una película de cine de culto.
Los planos: Cada escena está cuidada, con encuadres que parecen sacados de una película de Quentin Tarantino.
La música: El opening es adictivo, pero lo que más me voló la cabeza es que cada episodio tiene un ending diferente. Eso te demuestra el nivel de cariño y presupuesto que le metieron a este proyecto.
No todo es motosierra y acción
Aunque sí, hay mucha sangre y peleas épicas (la animación del Demonio de la Eternidad me dejó loco), lo que realmente me atrapó fue la melancolía.
Hay momentos de silencio, de personajes fumando en un balcón o simplemente desayunando, que te transmiten una soledad muy real.
Personajes como Aki o Power tienen capas que vas descubriendo poco a poco, y terminas queriéndolos a pesar de lo caóticos que son.
Mi conclusión: ¿Vale el "hype"?
Totalmente. Chainsaw Man es una montaña rusa. Te hace reír con situaciones absurdas, te emociona con la acción y, de repente, te da un golpe en el estómago con una escena triste.
Si buscas algo que rompa los esquemas del shonen tradicional y que no tenga miedo de ser oscuro, raro y profundamente humano al mismo tiempo, tienes que verlo. 9.5/10

STOPExcelente te felicito por esta reseña
Demasiado buena la película, excelente reseña amigo
For some reason that I couldn't remember, I dropped Chainsaw Man (manga). I remember it was good though. Probably I was just tired or ran out of mangaplus subscribtion. Haha.
Anyway, good review. I might read it again
Chain saw man is a really interesting anime, I love the story around it. Really good.
I honestly don't identify with Denji very much; I'm not obsessed with a pair of breasts, ha ha ha.
I watched this anime on my son's recommendation and loved it from the start. The part where Pochita joins Denji moved me; Pochita loved Denji so much that she saved his life. If you haven't seen the Reze arc movie, go watch it; it's a gem.
I have seen some parts of it but have not been able to watch the whole thing. After reading your post, I hope to finish it very soon. It seems to me that this is a very beautiful story-telling anime. After watching it, I will know how beautiful it really is.
