Once in a lifetime you'll come across an anime that truly captures the history and cultural distinctions of the modern world.
...
I have to admit, I had my doubts when I first learned of the anime.
After all, Chainsaw Man? Will this anime even be good? How ignorant was I to even have these thoughts.
Little did I know I was about to indulge in what may have been one of the best weeks of my life that is "Chainsaw Man Tuesdays."
Opening: 10/10.
The opening credit entices the audience with a captivating enigma.
I was so taken aback from the next-generation animation that I almost didn't even realize the underlying symbolism in the ongoing references. It wasn't until my tenth viewing of the opening where I finally got my bearings together and was able to focus on the "grip."
Premise & protagonist: 10/10.
The premise started out strong. The underlying analogy for 21st century dystopia was enlightening to say the least.
The complexity of the story as the main protagonist, Denji, struggled with the everyday endeavors for a slice of bread.
Plot: 10/10.
There I was, gripping to my chair as the conflict of the movie began.
I was so enticed by the anime that I felt as if I was both practically and relatively apart of the movie.
This is a special kind of high, that not even the strongest of drugs can give you.
Was I part of the movie? Am I inside the movie right now? This movie will leave you questioning.
At this point in the anime, I was fully intoxicated by the avant-garde animated art style.
That's when the plot finally aggrandized and I was completely stupefied.
Enjoyment: 10/10.
You could have lived a thousand years of wisdom trying to predict the plot twist and you would never even scratch the surface of what actually transpires in this anime.
I was so bewildered that I actually had to pause the movie so that my existential crisis didn't dive too deep inside of myself.
Even pausing the movie was surreal. It's almost as if life paused with the movie.
I felt as though I had actually become a CINEMA.
Chainsaw Man literally enlightened me and ruined my life. 10/10
