Denji has a simple dream—to live a happy and peaceful life, spending time with a girl he likes. This is a far cry from reality, however, as Denji is forced by the yakuza into killing devils in order to pay off his crushing debts. Using his pet devil Pochita as a weapon, he is ready to do anything for a bit of cash. Unfortunately, he has outlived his usefulness and is murdered by a devil in contract with the yakuza. However, in an unexpected turn of events, Pochita merges with Denji's dead body and grants him the powers of a chainsaw devil. Now able to transform parts of his body into chainsaws, a revived Denji uses his new abilities to quickly and brutally dispatch his enemies. Catching the eye of the official devil hunters who arrive at the scene, he is offered work at the Public Safety Bureau as one of them. Now with the means to face even the toughest of enemies, Denji will stop at nothing to achieve his simple teenage dreams.

I got into anime in the late 80's and heavily in the 90's. With Ninja Scrolls, Crying Freeman, Robot Carnival, Vampire Hunter D, Ghost in the Machine, Bubblegum Crisis, Cowboy Beebop and even Battle Angel and so many more. Most of the anime that grabbed me lacked characters with Margaret Keane style "Big Eyed" characters and protagonists. The first wave of anime that came to the USA was the actual, adult oriented anime. Then the kiddie stuff followed and was a hit with kiddies and of course America glommed onto that as "anime". because America has long thought of animation as "for kids". Only with the Simpsons and later South park that America realized, hey! Animation can be for adults too!
This, Chainsaw Man? Follows in that tradition of adult story telling and stories for adults animated. If you are a true anime fan you will like this. I love it.
This is very good. Worth watching!
No mercy at all...
