Chainsaw Man certainly earned its place as one of the biggest new anime series to arrive in 2022, with heavy hitters such as Spy x Family, Lycoris Recoil, and Blue Lock arguably being the closest to taking the crown from Denji and his fellow Devil Hunters. With the season finale bringing Denji’s first adventures to a close on the small screen, fans are using this opportunity to discuss if MAPPA’s first foray in Tatsuki Fujimoto’s world was able to live up to the high expectations of anime fans.

Currently, MAPPA has yet to reveal a release date for a second season, or if in fact there will be a second season at all. Based on the popularity of the television series, however, it’s a surefire bet that we’ll see this world of devils make a comeback at some point. If you have yet to dive into Fujimoto’s manga series, now might be a good time to give it a look as it might be months, if not years, prior to the Devil Hunters’ big comeback.
Reddit User Gino With A Question got the ball rolling on the expectations for Chainsaw Man’s anime, listing their list of pros and cons when it came to the long-awaited anime debut of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s masterpiece:
While the anime adaptation might take time to create its second season, Chainsaw Man’s season finale did leave anime fans with plenty of hints as to what is to come. The final moments of the latest episode hinted at a mysterious door that Denji is told not to open by his departed Pochita, while a mysterious young woman is seen asking Denji if he considers himself to be a “city mouse” or a “Country Mouse”.
What did you think of Chainsaw Man’s first season? Was it able to live up to your expectations if you followed Denji’s tale in the pages of the Shonen’s manga?
