Chainsaw Man

Given the massive (and deserved) success of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man, fans all over the world were waiting for the anime adaptation of the tale of a teen who hunts devils, thanks to his ability to transform into a man literally made of chainsaws. It took four years from the manga’s debut, but Studio Mappa made the tv show worth the wait. While anime can’t represent Fujimoto’s brilliantly creative use of the comic format, director Ryū Nakayama and his team have captured both the ennui and incredible action that made Chainsaw Man a hit. And a very special shout-out to the Japanese voice cast, who expertly bring Fujimoto’s distinctive characters to life.
