The Chainsaw Man manga was adapted into an anime of the same name and achieved great success. The film has left a deep impression in the hearts of fans since the first seasons. So, why did the film have this success? Not simply thanks to the fascinating plot of author Fujimoto Tatsuki, but also thanks to the "big guy" in the animation industry: MAPPA.
New storyline and "helmet-crushing" stunts
Anime Chainsaw Man , also known as Demon Hunter, is set in a world where demons are born from human fear. The origin of the demons makes it easier for the author to integrate new messages and details.
The movie has many plot twists that make viewers fall backwards. Thinking that the movie will go in direction A, B, but the author suddenly turns to A, C and then back to A, readers will guess wrongly. Furthermore, according to normal logic, the main character would be immortal, but for Fujimoto, he let the main character die like a straw, which also made many fans cry.
For Fujimoto, there is no law of the main character, so if he dies, he must die
Fujimoto Tatsuki and MAPPA: The perfect combination
Talking about Fujimoto, his readers are too familiar with his "weird" style. Fujimoto's works contain unique features in both the thoughts and actions of each character. Chainsaw Man is built in a completely new fantasy world, so the story's details are also pushed in an independent direction compared to the motifs commonly seen in anime.
The logical story system and unexpected situations have surprised readers with Fujimoto. That is also how he turned Demon Hunter into MAPPA's biggest project to date. CEO of MAPPA - Mr. Hiroshi Seko said: "We will make history with Chainsaw Man .".

Demon Hunter: Cinema in Animation
If you are a movie lover, then when you watch the movie Chainsaw Man , you will see that the movie's shooting angles closely follow cinematic filming techniques. In addition, the harmony of color, sound, and light makes viewers think that the scene behind the lens is behind them, not sketches.
Usually in other anime series, the character's facial expressions will be reduced to a small detail, leaving only symbolic actions. For example, when a character feels pain, the character's eyebrows and mouth will be elaborated more than other parts or not depicted to reduce production costs while still retaining the content to be conveyed. However, MAPPA broke that standard, the footage was so detailed that the audience could feel the character's extreme pain.

In particular, MAPPA also confirmed that it will not cut or blur bloody and violent scenes to show the studio's respect for Fujimoto Tatsuki's signature "crazy" style. Just in terms of visuals, Chainsaw Man is enough to become an anime that has an impact on viewers.
The Demon Hunter anime is based on true events
Chainsaw Man is set in 1997, Fujimoto cleverly incorporated historical events but still varied it in his own style. The genocide of the Jews, the AIDS epidemic, and the complete eradication of nuclear weapons from the world would follow the story rules: The demons eaten by the Saw Man would disappear.
Moreover, viewers will be scared because of the sincerity of the movie. There is no free meal nor kindness falling from the sky, nor does the main character in Chainsaw Man receive any lucky "buffs".
Makima's kindness comes with the condition that Denji become her dog, Power tricked Denji into feeding the Bat demon, or even Himeno's kiss was not an unintentional kiss. All the unfortunate details in Denji's life are wrapped in a veneer of humor. We will laugh when we watch it, but when we contemplate it, we will feel more sad than happy. With the diversity in both content and depth that the work brings, Chainsaw Man has truly become a unique existence in the hearts of fans.
