ALREADY CRYING! | Chainsaw Man Episode 1 REACTION!!! | CSM Anime Reaction & Review

[@BOLDcast]

PLEASE LEAVE A LIKE FOR CSM GREATNESS!! Also dont forget to check out our discussion, it was a really god one. We weren't expecting to like this show as much as we already do from the first episodes. Some things get overhyped, and they aren't really able to measure up to the expectations set by the fanbase. but if this episode is any indication of what we're in for, we are IN for it. Love this episode!

GUYS OMG HE SAID ''AMONG US'' in 13:28

[@sweet-nessu]

I think the most impressive thing about this first episode was not just the animation, but the direction! Like every one of denji’s movements feels very planned out and clunky, yet at the same time the fight still flows in a very energetic way! So ready for the rest of this season! Imagine only having one nut…

[@qrowbranwen8245]

You gotta appreciate the clunkiness of the animation too! It's his first transformation after all. With time, the combat will get exponentially better.

That's all my boy Ryu Nakayama baby, a legendary storyboarder/director in the making, you'd remember him from episode 19 of JJK.

[@leathersausage]

I can only agree with you. The direction is on another level. The animation, the angles, the pacing, the music (absolutely insane), everything about this screams: "This anime adaptation will make anime-history".

[@username-ql8ox]

"I will give you my heart. In exchange, show me your dreams" People say it takes a while for Chainsawman to become good but for me it was already great since the first chapter. This line will always stay in my heart, it's just so raw.

[@narisredy]

It Is a shonen, yeah. It's in the weekly shonen jump magazine. And people do call Denji the anti-shonen shonen protagonist :D

[@_Lumiere_]

Yeah, I feel like these demographic genres have sorta lost their meaning a little bit. The lines get blurred a lot between shounen, seinen, shoujo and josei nowadays. CSM really doesnt feel like any classic shounen. I would definitely categorize it as a seinen, personally.

[@vendacity]

Starts out Shounen, tbh should be Seinen. But Part 2 is is Shonen Jump+ so that Shounen genre changed big time for obvious reasons.. It's gruesome lol

[@M7S4I5L8V2A]

The greatest thing they did was making Pochita the single most cutest thing ever. I want one of those life sized plushies so bad and the nedroid. The worst thing is how long it'll take between seasons. I think people will be somewhat disappointed with season one but later seasons will blow this all away. Still going to have highly iconic and memeable stuff though.

[@chaolayluu]

Y'all are gonna love this show, one of my favorite traits about this show is how everything comes together so well despite how unpredictable and batshit crazy everything is. You're in for a ride

[@Fotoschiki]

If anything this first episode managed to rekindle in me what I came to see in Tokyo Ghoul. A gritty dark fantasy tradegy with an MC too kind for his world, beaten down by life unfairly, yet he still moves foreward. „The most innocent person burdened unfairly with the greatest punishment still doesnt back down, but rises up to the challenge inspite of the suffering“ is an archetypal classic. No wonder it easily resonates, because everyone can relate to unfair burdens, confronting that is part of adulthood. Youre probably right about this being a seinen thing, in contrast to shonen. This story doesnt seem to be about growing up, but confronting life in its dark fascettes. Great reaction, keep it up. Ill be back for more next week 😌.

I agree with most of the things you said about Denji but CSM is still a Shounen. The mangaka just has a distinct style.

[@scuttleboy]

Funny thing about the CGI, in this ep there were only around 64 seconds of CGI Chainsaw man/Denji and most of shots that people thought were CGI were just really good 2D animated shots.

[@FuzionOki]

the 2d animated shots were made to look more 3d to make the transition more seamless between 3d and 2d

[@annamarie8062]

If you’re a fan of JJK your going to be a fan of this. Both authors of JJK and CSM are huge fans of each other’s work. Both mangas are regarded 2/3rds of what is called the “trio’s of dark shonen” or “Hell’s trio of manga” along with Hell’s Paradise as the 3rd and will be coming out later. I’m a fan of all 3 and I really liked this first episode of CSM.

[@itzelwisteria1819]

Your reactions were all the same as mine, including the crying. What I especially like about this episode is that they made a good job highlighting what tragic of a life Denji is living at the beginning. Really emotional and effed up. And I agree about the voice acting, they actually told all VAs to make it "less anime" and more natural. Overall as a manga reader I'm satisfied with this first episode, I can't wait too see your reactions to what's coming next

[@safanadira3225]

Really like the cinematography and once again they nailed Fujimoto artstyle

[@FlubbedPig]

Naruto: I'm gonna become the Hokage! Luffy: I'm gonna be the Pirate King! Tanjirou: I will kill Muzan and save my sister! Denji: This one time I found a whole breakfast sandwich on a park bench, and like, man it'd be cool if every day was like that.

[@derpdap4423]

Been a huge fan of the manga for about two years now(BOLDcast too!) and it's so surreal that everyone on the internet knows about it now. New chapters of the manga have also been dropping on Tuesdays, so manga readers are FEASTING. really really hoping a cour 2 is coming relatively soon. 19:19 SO happy you realized that about denji. I think a lot of the detractors miss a lot of that kind of stuff along the way, really excited for future discussion. 20:14 Funny thing is, Chainsaw Man IS shounen. It ran in weekly shounen jump alongside mha, one piece, jjk, etc. which is wild considering some of the content of the manga. It's so popular because it stands out from its shounen contemporaries. I think if you guys really enjoyed this episode, there's not too much to worry about with the overhype, it's super consistent and only gets better. It's basically just up to MAPPA to nail it. Also please beware spoilers, csm has a rabid fanbase, some snobs, and a lot of memes.

I don't get what Carson means by Shounen protags being copy paste. I guess for the shorter stories, maybe?

It’s because they’re so similar not really copy and paste but very similar. My favorites like yusuke kenshin himura and ichigo are different though
