The police and courts tend to define rape narrowly, generally pursuing cases only when there are signs of both physical force and self-defense and discouraging complaints when either the assailant or victim has been drinking. Instead, rape is often depicted in manga comics and pornography as an extension of sexual gratification, in a culture in which such material is often an important channel of sex education. Japan’s rape laws make no mention of consent, date rape is essentially a foreign concept and education about sexual violence is minimal.

I absolutely can’t wait to see where the series go next.Ĭhainsaw Man is streaming exclusively on Crunchyroll October 11, at 9:00 am PT, with new episodes every Tuesday.But scholars say Japanese women are far less likely to describe nonconsensual sex as rape than women in the West. The humor, the blood, and deeply painful emotions that live in Denji, even with his golden retriever attitude. The moment is even more impactful than when I read it in the manga.Ĭhainsaw Man Episode 1 expertly captures what made the manga perfect. It’s a small choice with large ripples that makes the final five minutes of this episode have deep emotional resonance. It’s something that brings to life Denji’s relationship with the Devil pup and also connected the audience to him too. It may seem incredibly small but the small coos and expressions that Pochita makes adds a level of emotion that dog owners understand and adds a life to the character beyond his adorable good looks.
Powered by blood, devils wreak brutal havoc, and it’s clear that the studio is going all in on that fact.īut beyond the animation, it’s the sound design in Chainsaw Man Episode 1 that has captured elements of the manga I couldn’t have been dreamed of. Watching our boy move through the Zombie devil’s corpse shield showcases in one fight that MAPPA is going to hit all of the gore and violence we got in the manga, and I can’t wait. There is a desperation in Denji’s slashes, a fear but anger too. For an introduction, the big action sequence in Chainsaw Man Episode 1 captures the chaos and intensity that we see in the manga counterpart. While I was skeptical of working hyper-realism in certain elements, it actually allows the devils and more horrific and fantastic elements of the series to pop. We all know that the studio has become the standard for action sequence animation, and somehow, they’ve upped their own bar. And I have to say, the blending of the grotesque and the extreme with beautifully rendered elements like food and backgrounds that are captured with a detailed realism is perfection. MAPPA discussed having a focus on realism in the production of Chainsaw Man and I wondered how exactly that would translate for such a bloody and fantastical series with devils and body horror throughout. As his consciousness fades, Pochita revives him with a devil’s heart, giving birth to Chainsaw Man. But one day, Denji is betrayed and killed. In order to try to climb out of the hole his father threw him in, Denji works with Yakuza, killing devils and delivering them to his benefactor, harvesting the devil corpses with Pochita’s skill. These are his dreams, and in a life where he’s selling his organs to get out of his father’s debilitating debt, living in a shed, and eating out of a garbage can, those dreams are just as unreachable as becoming an astronaut with no education.īut while he holds onto his dreams, he holds onto his pet Chainsaw Devil Pochita (Shiori Izawa) even more. He just wants to get a girlfriend and touch a boob, sleep in a bed, and have a meal that isn’t old bread. And with Chainsaw Man Episode 1, which screened at NYCC 2022, everything is off to an emotional bang.Ĭhainsaw Man is all about Denji (Kikunosuke Toya), a teenage boy living at the rock bottom of life. And now, it’s being realized as MAPPA brings the series to life with Ryū Nakayama serving as director, Hiroshi Seko as the series writer, character design by Kazutaka Sugiyama, Devil Design by Kiyotaka Oshiyama art direction by Yusuke Takeda, and Kensuke Ushio scoring the animation. When I first read the C hainsaw Man manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto two years ago, I wanted to see it animated by MAPPA.
