I think something that sets Denji apart in his "perviness" is unlike other "pervy" male main characters, Denji isn't a sex offender. He actually respects women a lot and doesn't cross any boundaries. He's just lacking in the social skills due to his upbringing and it bounces off nicely because a lot of the characters lack in social skills. Unlike a lot of shonen where the women are just viewed as objects by the male lead often leading to assault.
Yea at first i didnt want to watch it because of that thought it was just gonna be pointless sex fest but not Denji actually dosnt try to be a sex offender and respect the boundries its really nice to see
@@batnick4998 I may have bias since I read the CSM manga in a single night while blasting heavy rock, but that manga felt like doing four lines of coke, run onto the street and break into an abandoned office building to do wheelies with the office chairs, whilst the anime felt surprisingly more somber and cool 🤔 they're both good but personally would stick to the manga
It's actually not 9/11. The anime takes place in 1997. There was a bombing of the World Trade Center that took place in 1993 as well where the towers didn't fall. The anime purposefully has old cars and flip phones because it's 1997 that it takes place in. Speaking as someone who lived through both attacks, although I was 7 when the 93 one happened, lol.

@@tonywilliams6294 [edited to remove possible spoilers] you literally said [spoiler]. An anime only has no reason to know or suspect anything regarding the cause for this change in the timeline. I wouldn't have said anything if you'd just said [spoiler], but specifying it was the [spoiler] is just super unnecessary and not at all "subtle" like you're trying to say it was.
I just gotta say: Denji is extremely relatable as a protagonist, he’s sixteen and his two biggest goals are eating a good breakfast and copping a feelski, and because of best dog Pochita’s sacrifice he is able to achieve both of these.
Also, his whole motivation is based on his past. Everyone else's lives sucked, but they have NO IDEA what Denji went through. They want revenge, or money, or power, but all Denji wanted was to crawl his way up to bare minimum.
The soft little "... How'd I do that" at being right about it being a lollipop in denjis pocket annihilated me, it was almost innocent in how genuine it was
They don't pretend that pervy motivations are heroic or brush it aside cute and quirky. It's relatable, and Denji does slowly grow as a character and as a good person, but it's not a joke like in some anime.
Yeah, Denji’s sexual/romantic life and how it develops is actually pretty interesting interesting if you stop taking everything he says at face value and analyze the context
I'm headcanoning that Denji really likes Bill Nye the Science Guy now. The show was actually airing when chainsaw Man takes place anyway, (1993-1998, csm takes place in 97)
The reason chainsaw man is such a good series is because denji is a hilariously relatable character. He's sixteen, lived his life under a rock, and his two motivations in the early stages of the animanga are copping a feel and eating a good breakfast. These motivations change and evolve as Denji learns more about the real world, and himself. It's a really fun (read: interesting and depressing) story about one man's growth as a person now that he knows "freedom"
Denji's perviness comes across as sad and pitiable in a way that few other anime pull off since it stems from his extreme lack of any kind of comfort or stability as a child. He's a boy raised on a pop culture's idea of what a boy should want. He knows how to follow his id to things like tasty food and hot people, but doesn't really get trust or loyalty or kindness or empathy or basic human softness which shows how hollow the perviness is.
I loved Denji's perviness despite usually hating the various ecchi tropes in anime because the show is dead serious about it. It's not something reluctantly tacked on to attract additional viewers who only come for the fan service, now it's an essential part not only of Denji's character but of his character progression and even of the plot itself. It's kind of the reason why it generally didn't bother me in Kill la Kill either (although there it was more about themes than plot).
He could have just assume she has a contract with a devil, it's pretty common in this universe, also power has horns, every devil in human body has some corruption that marks them, not just the eyes.

I feel you! I fell in love with Himeno almost immediately, and was so excited to see more of her, and then that episode happened... 😭 Still, I love the way her storyline was told.
I still can't decide if I am hyped for next season or if I am fucking dreading seeing anything more from Chainsaw Man animated. On one hand, Reeze and probably Yoshida, I think. On the other, getting closer and closer to the fucking end of part 1.
I think the pervyness works because it's not actually fan service. It's not done with the intention that it titalates the intended audience (usually young boys for the usual form of the trope) and instead it's part of Denji's character and part of the narritive's overarching themes about desire and happiness. Like food, lust is a natural appetite. Denji's perviness is as serious as his love for food and I can get behind that. The other thing is that Denji's sexual desires while prevalent are not his entire character.
Honestly, a lotta the "fan service" scenes made me uncomfortable, which I think was their intention, the power scene is weird because romance and platonic relationships don't go together, the makima scene screams grooming and manipulation, and the himeno scene is pedophelia to the point of being creepy
@Ilikesweatymen134 Yeah, the Himeno scene is especially uncomfortable, but that's what makes it so great. I really love this show for actually having the courage to go there. It made Himeno's death one of the most impactful deaths for me because of how unsure I felt. Should I be sad that she died? The fact I'm left with mixed feelings is awesome.

After finishing season 1 i couldnt wait for the rest of the manga to get animated, so i ended up buying the entire collection and read it all in 3 days, then downloded a manga reader app to catch up on part 2 since the new volumes havent been released in english yet.

Bro I read the whole thing in like 2 days. On Sunday afternoon, I was just sitting on my bed listless realizing there was no more CSM and I had nothing else to look forward to (this was before Part 2 dropped)
i was watching this video and the entire time i was like " yes! YES! he gets it!". great reaction man, also W taste for simping for himeno. it's kinda sad this season is only 12ep cause you would've love the hell of what's coming next
Fun fact about the intro. "Makima was feeding Denji a parasitic insect known as the Leucochloridium. It wriggles its way into their host and renders them absolutely helpless against predators. It becomes a mindless zombie, with no will of its own." Kind of like Denji. p.s. love the content Danny. If you ever step into the Manhwa world, you should read Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.
If the rest of the fiends are normal punchy punchy anime characters then Galgali is fucking Star Platinum. Not to mention besides being fueled by one of the most common fears he also retains memories and human emotions and morals from the body he took over. Also he gave Kobeni an ice cream so in my book he's 10/10 the best
Just know you have seen literally NOTHING YET……the fights to come the craziness will be there AND they will have huge emotional context . This shit is child’s play I promise you
I watched the entire season as it aired and then started reading the manga but I can’t even explain how much I am enjoying this video! You’re awesome! Glad I discovered you from the @OtakusAnonymous podcast.
12:15 im ngl i actually wish it was even brighter with like fluorescent tones to it 24:13 i love the oversaturation and waiting for the other shoe to drop vibe too but in fight scenes specifically having them be even more hyper would have been kinda fun imo
You’re reaction to makima getting absolutely blasted on the train was good enough to get a like form me 😂😂😂. Read the manga man that’s all I gotta say…..you ain’t seen shit yet. This ip is fucking insane
24:32 that's the thing; the manga has even more trippy stuff going on . the endings are what's closest to it imo, but I still like what they did with the show.
The hotel segment was amazing whenever you see him go up the stairs to go a higher floor and he comes up from a lower floor they just see him and go. Huh....Well fuck.
E1: Your reactions were so hekkin relatable E2: I'M LITERALLY WHEEZING at your reaction to the nut shots XD E3: The vibe, color palette, and ost is 100% why i love this show so much- ... well, that and Power. E4: Your reactions to the Leech Devil and Fox Devil are fucking GOLDEN E5: Actually, it IS A COMMENTARY on the objectification trope & she IS being manipulative. E6: "it's like an algorithm specifically designed this girl to steal my heart" YOU & ME BOTH E7: Yeeep the barf episode's gross E8: The captions for Himeno's last words were actually slightly off; she didn't say "you can cry for me" she said "i *want* you to cry for me" and that fucking HURT ME. E9: "the worst case of The Squishies ive ever seen" Y'know, that's what ima call it from now on; thanks E10: Kishibe? More like KishiBAE, AMIRITE?! No but srsly i love this dead-eyed drunkard. E11: "Bro ur death is gunna be a literal disaster lmao" Ah, Future Devil, never change you silly tree geezer XD also the shark [aka seapuppy] is named Beam E12: To be honest, i don't know if the songs are the same, but i know i love them and i love Himeno and i love the Nut Shot Contest and i love Power and i love this whole fucking show.
I didn't cry at my Grandpa's funeral and I haven't cried for his death once so far which made me feel terrible as I was the only one at the funeral not crying but I did cry once (yes at the funeral but not because of my Grandpa being dead) when my Dad and his brothers were on the podium talking about him and for the second time in my entire life I saw my father crying with every fibre of his being (the first was when he got the news)
Don't blame yourself for your feelings. It's not something you have control over. It's ok if you didn't feel like crying. Maybe your relationship with him was different than theirs, maybe your emotions were/are bottled up, maybe you don't externalize emotions much. But whatever the case, never blame you for your emotions. Just... Listen to what your emotions say.
I had the exact same feelings in the exact same situation. When my grandpa died I didn't cry at the funeral and wondered if that made me a bad person or a weird person, but my dad crying shocked me to the point where I nearly did (cause he's your average manly man) So, yeah, this comment and that part of the show were extremely relatable
20:54 Another refreshing thing about Denji's perviness is that it's not just there as an excuse for fanservice - it serves the development of his character. Sex isn't even a consideration for him _until_ his most basic needs are met, showing how truly desperate he was at the beginning. Worse anime would have had him be a horndog from the start and it would have been much less likeable for it. But instead it's slotted into this progression of Denji climbing the hierarchy of needs and finding himself able to set his sights on more and more abstract goals, which makes for a really compelling character drama. Something I'm sure none of us expected from a manga/anime called "Chainsaw Man." 32:56 What, no joke about asking for permission to swallow? 36:37 I don't know if this was intentional, but that show of Denji walking with his lower legs facing the opposite direction was the funniest thing in this video yet.
Danny, Im so glad you love this anime. Its one of my favorites easily and all the notes you had on it were simply perfect. I really really hope it gets a season two one day with as much care that went into season one.
This is by far the best react video I've seen of Chainsaw Man and I've seen a lot of them! You had me out of breath laughing and smacking my table throughout most of this video love it!! ❤
59:15 Vests always protect you from something. A life vest protects you from drowning, a bullet proof vest protects you from getting shot, and a sweater vest protects you from pretty girls.
I’m not a very big anime person, but the concept of this show alone was enough to get me to watch it. A man who kills demons by transforming into a half-man half-demonic chainsaw monster is just so unapologetically metal and I mean that in the best way possible.
What's sad is that apparently when they make Season 2, the director will be different because apparently people in Japan hated the director. Idk how true that is though.
I should point out that in Japan the age of consent is 15. So legally speaking over there what Himeno did to Denji is acceptable, still messed up as all hell, but she didn’t actually break the law(the comment in the morning after scene was in reference to molestation as you correctly summarized)
To my understanding, age of consent means a minor age above 15 yo can consent to sex with another minor, not with an adult. Adult hooking up with a 'consent' minor is still illegal Hence why Himeno herself said she could be in jail if sth had happened that night, emphasis on her phrasing of "with minors"
Yeah you're right. It's a common misunderstanding but age of consent talks about when teens can have sex with other teens. In all first world countries it's illegal for anyone over the age of 18 to have sex with someone below the age regardless of the age of consent.@@kullaratt.9336
24:54 I just wanted to shout out the fact that in the dub, Power talks like this ALL THE TIME XD One of her first lines in the show she calls Denji a "cur"
I think this was only in the rus dub (honestly not even sure it was, maybe my mind is just making shit up) but after Kobeni tried apologize to Denji she goes something like "am i really trying to apologize for trying to murder him?" and i don't know why but i loved it. Update: that line was in the sub as well, so yeah i think that was a really good moment for Kobeni
1:39:00 as someone who’s watched the anime and read the manga, I absolutely am happy how the anime turned out and can’t wait for season 2. I don’t care what ppl say bc this show is fantastic and a 10/10 in my book!

It’s also a very good message for young guys reading this , that sex is something you can want without it being completely creepy
even in the manga when the Bomb Girl or Quanxi fight naked it's not even sexualized,they're just badass
it also doesnt help they sprinkle his age in every now and then actually clarifying that its NOT that type of anime
@@IntuitionWrld he’s very non threatening in comparison, he just asks and gets told no or gets told yes and reacts fairly x

Fun fact about the intro. "Makima was feeding Denji a parasitic insect known as the Leucochloridium. It wriggles its way into their host and renders them absolutely helpless against predators. It becomes a mindless zombie, with no will of its own." Kind of like Denji.
p.s. love the content Danny. If you ever step into the Manhwa world, you should read Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.
as a csm manga reader i am thrilled with the sound design and atmosphere in the anime, it's everything i was hoping for.
If the rest of the fiends are normal punchy punchy anime characters then Galgali is fucking Star Platinum. Not to mention besides being fueled by one of the most common fears he also retains memories and human emotions and morals from the body he took over. Also he gave Kobeni an ice cream so in my book he's 10/10 the best
Just know you have seen literally NOTHING YET……the fights to come the craziness will be there AND they will have huge emotional context . This shit is child’s play I promise you
I love his transformation from "It's fine and my expectations are extremely low" to "I just saw one of the best episodes in fiction"
Danny: I'm not gonna judge someone's hustle
*literally 5 seconds later*
Danny: YOU DID WHAT!?!?!
When he started simping for her I immediately became desperate for the kissing scene to come up.
The moment the Himeno kiss scene happened i already knew what was coming so i closed my eyes hearing his reaction was enough.
I watched the entire season as it aired and then started reading the manga but I can’t even explain how much I am enjoying this video! You’re awesome! Glad I discovered you from the @OtakusAnonymous podcast.
I binge watched the whole first season because you posted this and I have no regrets!
The reaction to the “kiss” was literally everything for me.
My brother in Christ, that's not CGI. Mappa showed the animation skeleton, it's just super intense animation.
1:10:34 This is such a genuine reaction lmao I felt the same exact way.
12:15 im ngl i actually wish it was even brighter with like fluorescent tones to it
24:13 i love the oversaturation and waiting for the other shoe to drop vibe too but in fight scenes specifically having them be even more hyper would have been kinda fun imo
"I'm going to curl up into a little ** ball if you don't stop your nonsense right now" is just the BIGGEST mood
"is this show almost done hurting me???!!"
Ha... Hahaha..... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Most painful power is from manga called firepunch source trust me
"This character has taken me for a roller coaster ride" prepare for the drop oomfie
1:10:57 Himeno sacrificing her body be like:
I love how you comment on the soundtrack being subdued only for aggressive metal to kick in about 2 minutes later.
BRO... the moment Danny said the hardware store comment about the kid, I got an ad for chainsaws and hardware LMAO
56:02 - 56:35 kiss
1:05:00 - 1:05:30 - 1:06:32 guns
1:06:42 - 1:07:13 - 1:07:43
1:08:35 Aki vs Katana devil
1:08:56 - 1:10:42 Himeno’s death
1:13:44 - 1:14:20 makima
1:21:00 - 1:23:37 kishibe vs denji and power
Thank you
You’re reaction to makima getting absolutely blasted on the train was good enough to get a like form me 😂😂😂. Read the manga man that’s all I gotta say…..you ain’t seen shit yet. This ip is fucking insane
24:32 that's the thing; the manga has even more trippy stuff going on . the endings are what's closest to it imo, but I still like what they did with the show.
Are we just ignoring Aizawa in the “Most Tired Man Alive” contest?
15:50 The way you got more and more horrified looking here made me laugh so fucking hard lmfao
The hotel segment was amazing whenever you see him go up the stairs to go a higher floor and he comes up from a lower floor they just see him and go. Huh....Well fuck.
Danny: says first episodes will never shock him
Oshi no Ko: side eyes him judgingly
“No way a devil would capture a cat if not to eat” Danny, did you forget sebastian..?
"I can't wait to finally see what this sword does" that jump cut was crazy.😂😂😂
Barneys doink cosplaying as dave grohl is the most hilarious out of pocket shit ive ever heard
I cant wait until bomb girl and season 2 are animated, that's when chainsaw man gets good imo
E1: Your reactions were so hekkin relatable
E2: I'M LITERALLY WHEEZING at your reaction to the nut shots XD
E3: The vibe, color palette, and ost is 100% why i love this show so much- ... well, that and Power.
E4: Your reactions to the Leech Devil and Fox Devil are fucking GOLDEN
E5: Actually, it IS A COMMENTARY on the objectification trope & she IS being manipulative.
E6: "it's like an algorithm specifically designed this girl to steal my heart" YOU & ME BOTH
E7: Yeeep the barf episode's gross
E8: The captions for Himeno's last words were actually slightly off; she didn't say "you can cry for me" she said "i *want* you to cry for me" and that fucking HURT ME.
E9: "the worst case of The Squishies ive ever seen" Y'know, that's what ima call it from now on; thanks
E10: Kishibe? More like KishiBAE, AMIRITE?! No but srsly i love this dead-eyed drunkard.
E11: "Bro ur death is gunna be a literal disaster lmao" Ah, Future Devil, never change you silly tree geezer XD also the shark [aka seapuppy] is named Beam
E12: To be honest, i don't know if the songs are the same, but i know i love them and i love Himeno and i love the Nut Shot Contest and i love Power and i love this whole fucking show.
I didn't cry at my Grandpa's funeral and I haven't cried for his death once so far which made me feel terrible as I was the only one at the funeral not crying but I did cry once (yes at the funeral but not because of my Grandpa being dead) when my Dad and his brothers were on the podium talking about him and for the second time in my entire life I saw my father crying with every fibre of his being (the first was when he got the news)
Don't blame yourself for your feelings. It's not something you have control over. It's ok if you didn't feel like crying. Maybe your relationship with him was different than theirs, maybe your emotions were/are bottled up, maybe you don't externalize emotions much. But whatever the case, never blame you for your emotions. Just... Listen to what your emotions say.
I had the exact same feelings in the exact same situation. When my grandpa died I didn't cry at the funeral and wondered if that made me a bad person or a weird person, but my dad crying shocked me to the point where I nearly did (cause he's your average manly man)
So, yeah, this comment and that part of the show were extremely relatable
1:07:40 I was fully expecting Danny to respond with, "I'm still hyped waiting to find out what this sword does?!!"
Day 12 of asking Danny to react to the owl house.
I agree with this
To what?
13:00 "I dont expect any first episode of a show to absolutely blew me out of the water" ---and then came Link Click
20:54 Another refreshing thing about Denji's perviness is that it's not just there as an excuse for fanservice - it serves the development of his character. Sex isn't even a consideration for him _until_ his most basic needs are met, showing how truly desperate he was at the beginning. Worse anime would have had him be a horndog from the start and it would have been much less likeable for it. But instead it's slotted into this progression of Denji climbing the hierarchy of needs and finding himself able to set his sights on more and more abstract goals, which makes for a really compelling character drama. Something I'm sure none of us expected from a manga/anime called "Chainsaw Man."
32:56 What, no joke about asking for permission to swallow?
36:37 I don't know if this was intentional, but that show of Denji walking with his lower legs facing the opposite direction was the funniest thing in this video yet.
Danny, Im so glad you love this anime. Its one of my favorites easily and all the notes you had on it were simply perfect. I really really hope it gets a season two one day with as much care that went into season one.
I love that if I wanted to search a scene in anime. I will go to your channel to rewatch the with your commentary.
Watch a favorite scene with cool commentary it's the point.
This is by far the best react video I've seen of Chainsaw Man and I've seen a lot of them! You had me out of breath laughing and smacking my table throughout most of this video love it!! ❤
This upload made my studying a little more bearable
every time I watch Danny I always scream the phrase "WHY ARE U FUNNY???" at the top of my lungs while laughing hysterically at one of his jokes
“The kinkiest relationship in mainstream anime history”
I love how you just had to specify “mainstream” there lmao
I love that i've finally found a reactor that loves Himeno as much as i do
55:51 me waiting nervously for THE scene
Also rip danny's future feelings
Real
59:15
Vests always protect you from something. A life vest protects you from drowning, a bullet proof vest protects you from getting shot, and a sweater vest protects you from pretty girls.
37:00 "This is the most existential boob squeeze that anyone's experienced." Got me 😂
Such a good reaction went throught all of it in one row
I’m not a very big anime person, but the concept of this show alone was enough to get me to watch it. A man who kills demons by transforming into a half-man half-demonic chainsaw monster is just so unapologetically metal and I mean that in the best way possible.
What's sad is that apparently when they make Season 2, the director will be different because apparently people in Japan hated the director. Idk how true that is though.
I should point out that in Japan the age of consent is 15. So legally speaking over there what Himeno did to Denji is acceptable, still messed up as all hell, but she didn’t actually break the law(the comment in the morning after scene was in reference to molestation as you correctly summarized)
To my understanding, age of consent means a minor age above 15 yo can consent to sex with another minor, not with an adult. Adult hooking up with a 'consent' minor is still illegal
Hence why Himeno herself said she could be in jail if sth had happened that night, emphasis on her phrasing of "with minors"
Yeah you're right. It's a common misunderstanding but age of consent talks about when teens can have sex with other teens. In all first world countries it's illegal for anyone over the age of 18 to have sex with someone below the age regardless of the age of consent.@@kullaratt.9336
One character I’m looking forward to seeing in the anime is quanxi
24:54 I just wanted to shout out the fact that in the dub, Power talks like this ALL THE TIME XD
One of her first lines in the show she calls Denji a "cur"
Yes, love the longer uploads!
I think this was only in the rus dub (honestly not even sure it was, maybe my mind is just making shit up) but after Kobeni tried apologize to Denji she goes something like "am i really trying to apologize for trying to murder him?" and i don't know why but i loved it.
Update: that line was in the sub as well, so yeah i think that was a really good moment for Kobeni
Dude, you are freaking hilarious 💀🤣 keep it up 🤘🏽🤘🏽💪🏽
1:39:00 as someone who’s watched the anime and read the manga, I absolutely am happy how the anime turned out and can’t wait for season 2. I don’t care what ppl say bc this show is fantastic and a 10/10 in my book!
Bro, wait till he reads the Monga and actually knows what Makima is.
I can't believed I'm enjoying this commentary throughout the end~
Danny Motta I absolutely loved the the adventures of sonic the hedgehog reference you made there!
I like Sonic too!
Your videos are always so fun!
And you are very very cool too!
I hope you enjoy the rest of your week!
Thank you for always making my day with your videos!😁!
