Between the country mouse and the city mouse: the meaning of Reze’s Arc
It’s honestly really hard to explain how much the Reze arc of Chainsaw Man means to me.
It was July 2021, and I was studying for Calculus II, a brutal first-year exam in electronic engineering.
I was spending all day in the library, so to kill some time after lunch I bought volumes 1 to 5 of Chains…

~~~__MINOR SPOILERS!__~~~
~~~This film manages to pull off an almost herculean task - not only living up to, but also somehow surpassing (in some aspects), the Reze Arc - one of Fujimoto's greatest accomplishments in Chainsaw Man.

# Opening Thoughts
Around four or so years ago, I first picked up the Chainsaw Man manga, diving into a vivid world of calamity and crass. And yet the Bomb Devil arc lingered in my thoughts in the later months and years, what made this 14-chapter st…

Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc exceeded my expectations and, simultaneously, delved deeper than I anticipated. Following the tumultuous and insane events of the first season of the anime, I had assumed that Denji’s story would revolve around a gruesome compilation of intestines, chains, and nihi…

Around 3 years ago i read the chainsaw man manga, right after watching the series. I had a great time watching the TV series, so when i touched the manga i had pretty high expectations. Despite not being a fan of romantic stories in a tra…

Chainsaw Man: The Reze Arc was an electrifying experience, and a perfect adaptation of what is (in my opinion) the best arc of Fujimoto's masterpiece.
# Visuals & Sound
The first season of the anime was extremely good, but like many others I felt it didn't quite capture what makes the series speci…

An explosive anime movie. Literally throughout the second part of it, nonstop explosion all over the screen. It was magnificent, I would watch it for a second time if I had the money for it. MAPPA took their sweet time making this movie really breath out the Chainsaw Man in the manga form onto the b…

Chainsaw Man both as a manga and as an anime I've held close to my heart for a while now, it was one of the first mangas that I had picked up and truly enjoyed, and to see now almost 5 years later where it's at now, is something that any fan is happy for. To me Chainsaw Man has what little other sho…

I decided to revisit the first season of the anime adaptation, and while I enjoyed some aspects of it, it also felt like it was primarily trying to capitalize on the manga's rising hype and popularity at the time. People only started to slowly discover its greatness and somewhat antithetical approac…

Chainsaw Man is so brutally deceptive that this is its great and silent trick. The series, at first glance, is just another blood-smeared spectacle, a circus of chains, entrails and volume-cranked violence. But, after all, at its most sincere it has nothing to do with any greatness of battle at all,…

When Hikaru Utada's "JANE DOE" played as the credits rolled in the theater, the fragments of explosions, swimming pools, and unspoken confessions finally coalesced into Tatsuki Fujimoto's unique melancholic aesthetic. As MAPPA's "redemption project" to wash away the controversies of the TV series,…

I went into Chainsaw Man: The Movie: Reze-arc with the same casual caution I give most hyped anime: watched Season 1 (I haven’t read the manga) because the animation looked crisp and the buzz was loud. I didn’t watch on day one, life, work, family, you know the drill but when I finally sat down, Sea…

Warning: this review contains spoilers.
Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc is a beautiful and perfect movie. It captures the heart of the Reze arc perfectly while also adding to it through the music and voice acting. While Makima's and Denji's love is fake, Reze and Denji's love was genuine. Makima only loved C…

This is a master class in animation that got my jaw dropping in the sheer level…

Well, that was quite the theatrical experience! **Due to how new the film is (at time of writing), most of this review will be entirely hidden due to dealing with plot details out of order.**

_(This review is intended for those who have already watched the movie or read the arc)_
Fujimoto is an instrument of tragedy, with the perfect balance of comedy and devastation. His talent and impact were already evident from the manga alone, but it was surreal to see it on the big screen in a pac…

L’arc Reze – Un film d’anime à part
L’arc Reze, côté film, c’est un vrai banger. On y retrouve un soin cinématographique rarement vu dans les adaptations d’anime. La caméra est proche des personnages, presque comme s’il y avait un caméraman au milieu des scènes. On ressent une vraie proximité, un se…
