Now that's what I call sakuga.

Chainsaw Man The Movie is dripping with style. It's a very emotionally charged, intuitive, weird as hell, gorgeous, fluidly animated, almost sheer sensory overload experience – in essence, sakuga.

For dedicated fans of the original Chainsaw Man series, it’s a real treat that deserves the wait. The movie features completely original content, adapting from an arc in the manga that is entirely self-contained, and as such, lends itself well to the cinematic format.

For newcomers, it’s a frenetic, bombastic, delicious feast for the eyes, if a bit indigestible due to having zero backstory or flashbacks. It’s a bold choice that anime seldom make when adapting to the big screen, as it could mean brushing off potential newcomers.

Instead it jumps right into the world of Denji, a 16 year old devil hunter employed by an organisation of fellow hunters, as he grapples with having a crush on both Makima, his superior, and Reze, a new girl.

There were a ton of laugh-out-loud moments, especially when it comes to Denji’s crush scenes. There was so much levity in the opening scenes that it makes the gore of what follows that much more severe. It’s shocking when you see something animated that doesn’t hold back.

Certain scenes between Denji and his new crush have this sweet, intangible, nostalgic quality to them. Almost Wong Kar Wai-esque, with still images that overlap into motion, like life flashing before your eyes even as you try to cling onto the moment.

The climax blows everything out of the park, with endlessly creative ways of using the main characters’ devil abilities. In any other movie, this is the type of pure spectacle that would drag the story. Here, it gets so exponentially wild and uniquely animated, with love poured into every frame, that you just have to sit there and take it in.

Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc is the best that animation has to offer. It does things that can’t be done in any other medium, and pulls it off with confidence.
