The long-awaited "Chainsaw Man" movie has been released. After almost three years, MAPPA gave us another glimpse of Denji and company's adventures, and I couldn't be happier with the result. While comparing isn't ideal, we recently had the KNY movie, which was very good but didn't feel like a complete experience due to being the first of three parts. The opposite is true of this movie, which is well-rounded from beginning to end and shows us the entire Reze the Bombshell arc. While it starts slowly, it gradually becomes more dynamic until we reach a point where we don't stop until the very end. We have very good character development for Denji, a wonderful Reze with Aki performing perfectly. We also have the addition of supporting characters like the Angel Demon and the Shark Demon, who give us memorable scenes. There are also a couple of incredible Makima moments. Unfortunately, this movie loses its power due to her limited presence. The film has everything: excellent animation, risqué scenes that serve the plot, and plenty of action and gore. The budget allocated to it is clearly noticeable, and it's used to its full potential. All of this is crowned with a bittersweet ending, revealing the outcome of Reze's story and a preview of what Makima will do next with other characters... A truly great experience, the best animated film I've seen this year.
