Aki was without fear and the devil that saw using fear was effectively blind again. The bitch that made the deal with the gun devil was in utter disbelief.
Kishibe's lessons to Power and Denji paid off as Denji used the art of deception to split mr katana here in two.
Denji, a man with simple desires and simple idea of retribution, let's Aki join in on crotch kicking the humiliated katana man as payback for Himeno until the police come.
The Gun devil can't let the human it made a contract with spill any info, off with her head.

aw I remember laughing my ass off at the original panels of their contest, was seriously looking forward to this scene, MAPPA didn't have to do such a half-assed overly serious adaptation of that moment but whatever we did at least witness the adaptation

One of the best anime I've ever watched. So glad I decided to follow the hit trends again. I've already ordered a whole bunch of the manga volumes, my first ever one in fact.
Great characters, voice acting, animation, OP & ED's, CGI, colours and brutality. Perfect all the way through. Can't wait to read further!

Although the katana devil vs chainsaw devil felt clichéd, the aftermath made up for it. The combination of Aki's grief of Himeno's death and Denji's naïve idea of revenge creates a perfect payback: a ball-kicking tournament. 
I think that kind of payback is one Himeno would approve of.

Oddly enough, it feels like the past couple of episodes have had Aki as the focus of the show. I don't hate this, I find Aki to be an intriguing character, but isn't Denji the protagonist? lol

I enjoyed CSM and honestly, they gave us the complete package in this last episode:

Denji and Aki finally have some family bonding time.

Power fight scene.

An insane fighting scene on a train, I thought I was watching Spiderman.

Makima looking fucking sick with that close-up.

And the Reze debut at the end, mwah, perfection!

They literally gave light to every character in this final episode in the most badass way possible, really hyped for what comes next!

definitely lived up to the hype, masterpiece of an adaptation. thank you mappa for the cinematic feel and 12 EDs. the realism of this show, the details and atmosphere was perfect. kick back also such a banger.

they teased my girl reze, which basically confirms a season 2. looking forward to it and can't wait. the manga was done justice.

that cgi walk up the blind devil was AWFUL. berserk 2016 PTSD lol

also, why did this devil have the last cigarette? also, why is the cigarette so important. I don't understand why it's emphasized as if it was a major motif in their friendship. its awful writing. how did the devil even have the cigarette with the writing???? Then we also have the random "this devil is blind and uses fear to see!" okay if everyone knew that then calm down so it can't see. just trite writing

power talking in a weird regal 3rd person isn't an adorable personality quirk, it's aggravating

that was one of the worst talk to jutsu. how did katana not see his ZOMBIE grandpa and think denji is lying. Also, how does he have a conscience when all he's doing is murdering innocent people.

the katana v chainsaw fight was awful lol. bad choreography, bad animation, awful fight with no stakes

wow denji's offscreen training helped him improve! thanks for giving us dialogue diarrhea to explain it.

the episode concludes with a nut kick contest and we don't even get to see that??

i feel like makima had the woman with the gun devil killed rather than a suicide. they are hyping up how important denji's heart is because makima is also avoiding it (foreshadowing).

Now we are introduced to denji not opening the door, I wonder why to pet his chainsaw? and new person intro at the end of the season is meh

Well that's not the best end but definitely leave a good feeling when Aki just smoke it out, especially after hearing Eve on the ed. Not to mention they just give Himeno a good requiem thanks to Katana dude balls. Idk what the heck Pochita saying there though? Why Denji can't open the door when every possibility he dreamt out of it? Let answer the question on the next season, if any...

The beginning scene of the Ghost Devil helping Aki paired with those flashbacks of Himeno was probably my favorite bit of the episode, you could say Himeno’s magic worked on me lol. Also Kobeni coming in clutch to subdue Sawatari was nice lol, and I’m surprised she ended up dying this quick, I was thinking her and Katana man were gonna be main villains but looks like Sawatari is already out for the count. And the Katana fight this time was pretty sweet, I wasn’t very impressed by it due to the amount of CGI used but it was still a very good fight and a great revenge match for Denji, he even used something he was taught by Kishibe earlier this season which was a nice callback.

And then Katana getting kicked in the balls in honor of Himeno was a great finale for the fight lol. The after credits scene was good too, and from everything I’ve heard that was Reze we saw at the end, I was looking forward to seeing her but looks like I’ll have to wait for a 2nd season or hit the manga, which I’m considering lol. And the final ED by Eve really slapped, loved the chill visuals too, it was not my favorite ED this season tho.

And that was the Chainsaw Man anime, it may have been overhyped but I really liked it. I didn’t just find a Mappa master-craft, I also found a fantastic series. I may have to pick up the manga at some point because I’m not sure if want to wait as long as I’m thinking we’re gonna have to for another season lol, that just goes to show how much I enjoyed this too. And the idea for a new ED every episode was genius, it was a highlight reel of amazing visuals and banger songs, as much as I like having a consistent ED it really added another level of excitement for each episode, I was almost more hyped to hear each ED than the episodes themselves sometimes lol. It really is hard to pick a favorite but I think I have to go with ED2 and ED7. And I gotta say my best girl is Kobeni, she was my most anticipated and became my favorite, but you could say any girl in this show was your favorite and I’d understand lol. And here’s to hoping Season 2 doesn’t take too long to come around.

Chainsaw Man has literally introduced a new protagonist formula in the genre, Since the beginning of very first episode this was visible that it's going to one hell of a crazy ride & CSM didn't disappointed us in that part

The season did a really good job introducing us some really interesting characters especially the major caste, each of them felt like protagonist in their own way

Well I would be lying if I admit that I was always excited before the release of a new episode, however it still couldn't surpass my expectations (barely touched it) but that's okay probably because it is just the first season & it was definitely a strong first season

Mappa nailed it except some parts in animation (the movement of the train in that last episode felt a bit unnatural)

7/10 for this season

There was really nothing too much wrong but probably this is because it was just the beginning that it felt that it was quite slow sometimes

Amazing, simply amazing! Direction was so cinematographic the whole time. Not to mention the top notch soundtrack. Story and concept wise it's already solid, but I guess it will improve when things will get more complex. Characters are unique, I loved their interactions and dialogues. Hype deserved, 9/10, hoping even better stuff has yet to come.

I can already hear people whining about the CG. Yeah, we get it, you've been conditioned to point out CG when you see it, but if a few scenes of well-integrated CG are your grounds for judging the entire experience and disregarding hours of beautiful animation, you're not doing much for your credibility.

Katana Man vs Denji fight looked goddamn amazing. The dynamic camera shots were great and so were the animations, from the roof to the train, with the rare janky CGI shot.

Still mad that we only got 12 eps, it's not enough to show off what CSM is really praised for

But still

What an amazing adaptation by Mappa.

Considering that this is the "least-amazing" part of CSM... We ate good.

The direction is STELLAR and as cinematic as it needed to be.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR FUTURE SEASONS, BECAUSE FROM THIS MOMENT CHAINSAWMAN GOES FULL THROTTLE.

KATANA MAN DEFEATED HAHA AIN'T NO WAY HE'S HAVING KIDS NOW! it's a shame we didn't get the theater hopping scene with Makima and Denji because that is the most relatable thing I've seen in an anime, can't wait for season 2 I hope they get all the time they need to make it just as good as this season but until then it's time to hang the suit and tie.

Well, this is the end.
My most anticipated seasonal.
I would say that it did not disappoint.
Now we've got to wait ages for another one.
I would say as far as finale's go this one was definitely action packed.
Comparing this to how it was presented in the manga however, I think I surprisingly preferred how it was done in the manga over the anime adaptation (not trying to be that guy or anything).
I think the way that they showed some of the moves with the Katana man didn't really translate too well into an animated world.
Like how he just moves insanely fast to deal the damage, and you can't see him moving.
When this was shown in the manga i just preferred it more.
That would be my main gripe with the episode, apart from that I really enjoyed it.
The fact that they managed to pull off this adaptation as well as they have, it definitely gives me more confidence going into the future seasons (whenever it arrives).

Mappa has knocked it out of the park, for this episode and the entire season! You can really tell that this was a passion project for every single person involved with this. As far as I'm concerned, they have set the gold standard when it comes to creating a high quality anime adaptation. Bravo! I am looking forward to the next season already. I really hope they continue to do a single ED for each episode, I absolutely love it.

That ending, I absolutely lost it over a tiny teaser of Reze

Great last ep. Denji can sprout chainsaws out of his legs now, how cool! Super keen for next season. Time to finally fight this Gun Devil!! And is that a new waifu I detect at the end?? XD

I reckon that Denji's dream is similar to Naruto's seal with Kurama. Like if he opens that door he'll go full devil. I'm sure eventually he'll be able to control that power tho.

i'll just leave it as im a manga snob for once and this was alright, best part was  how many themes they did for EDs

Mappa really overshot their attempt at this even if it wasn't totally how i pictured this would be i respect what they did and new fans clearly enjoy it, but people  sure as fuck overhyped this to the moon
