This show gives a whole new take on the genre. And I LOVE IT.
The usual shonen trope of mc with unachievable dreams and that all changes etc gets chewed up and spat out 300 times over in this show. It's amazing. If u haven't seen it I highly recommend watching it. ESPECIALLY if u love gore violence ettchiness etc.
right, now's the spoilers.
So the show is about Denji who is a teenager and a victim OF POVERTY. the show just went there. with arguably the greatest character but not really a character, Pochita, the chainsaw devil. Denji is broke obviously and so he works for the yakuza by killing devils because hes in debt after his dad killed himself before he could pay the yakuza. long story short. Denji just dies. the end. jks but he does die. But Pochita saves him by becoming Denji's heart. and so now Denji is Chainsaw Man. however he's basically kidnapped by [MANGA SPOILERS] the control devil who wants to steal pochita. and Denji is forced to work for the devil hunters or die.
good show
my only critisism is the pacing which is a bit iffy. cause the show seems really fast paced and that's fine. But once it gets to the action. the fight is an episode maybe even 2 episodes long.
but I do highly recommend this to anyone who seems interested.
