I was browsing my anime to-watch list a couple days back because I didn't know what to watch. I usually end up rewatching older stuff that I enjoyed even though I have a pretty long list of anime I'm yet to watch.
Then, I decided to check Chainsaw Man out since there are only 12 episodes and I know it also had a reputation when it came out last year. In addition, I know it's from Shonen JUMP, so I thought, "What could go wrong?"... right? :)

The story is about Denji a young guy who inherited a huge amount of debt from his parents. He was living quite a miserable life with his pet (a devil) named Pochita who he saved when he was younger. Together, they work as devil hunters to pay off the debt. Unfortunately though, he was betrayed and was killed... but then, the very cute Pochita (a chainsaw devil) offered him its heart and he became the Chainsaw Man.

His bond with Pochita was so adorable, so when Pochita sacrificed to bring him back to life, I was teary-eyed. I wanted to see more of Pochita, though.
A lot of interesting and crazy things happened to Denji after he was able to transform as the Chainsaw Man. Since he became a hybrid devil and human, Makima, an elite Public Safety Bureau devil hunter took him in. As long as Denji follows her, he'd be able to live a life in which he need not worry about food and money... but since he's a hybrid, once he tries to leave, he'd be considered a devil.
I won't tell any more info about this anime, but feel free to watch the trailer below.
As expected from an anime based on a Shonen JUMP comic, it was so excited and fun to watch. What made me like this anime the most was the existence of a lot of crazy and unique characters. There were a bunch of funny scenes that made me laugh out loud, but there were also quite the emotional ones... you know that feeling when you see someone who's always so happy and crazy without a care in the world suddenly cries? It's tough...
And ohh.. it's quite bloody, so if gore and grotesque aren't your cup of tea, then I suppose you shouldn't watch this. There are also some other sensitive scenes... But if you want to challenge watching it, just brace yourself... okay?
Thanks for reading and see you next time!!!
