The new Chainsaw Man Reze movie has cemented its name in the world of cinema. According to recent reports, it is confirmed that this film has officially scored a perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and has made over $110 million in global earnings.

Even now, many critics are praising the movie for its story, animation, and overall quality of entertainment it provided. This kind of positive reaction is rare when it comes to talking about anime adaptation. The movie was adapted from Tatsuki Fujimoto's manga, and since it has been release, it has become a cultural phenomenon.

When the manga of Chainsaw Man initially made its debut in 2018, the unique premise with a chaotic art style caught the attention of readers and immediately became popular. The story is about an orphan boy, Denji, who was living in the worst condition as he was stuck repaying the debt that his father had taken out.

After meeting Pochita, he got another chance in life, and he became the Chainsaw Man we know and love. Now talking about the Chainsaw Man Reze movie was a smart move by MAPPA Studios, as the arc in manga was around 13 chapters, which fans feel was a perfect amount of content to be made into a movie.

The premise of this movie was that Denji meets this girl, Reze, and is instantly infatuated by her. Although love and romance do not come easily to him, as it turns out, she wants to steal his heart. Every girl in this series so far has been manipulating the main character just to misuse his powers.

Their fleeting romance blossoms amid chaos, setting the stage for some of the most visually stunning and emotionally harrowing moments MAPPA has ever animated.

Chainsaw Man Reze movie is directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara and written by Hiroshi Seko. This movie can almost be described as flawless in terms of animation. Every single frame is heavily detailed and evokes the energy and chaos of Chainsaw Man.

Even the intimate moments between Denji and Reze are made with utmost care, as they don't seem vulgar. Rather, they beautifully show us these characters being awkwardly vulnerable with each other. When the action sets in, everything is explosive.

The battle against the Bomb Devil and Typhoon Devil keeps the viewers on the edge of their seats. Additionally, the pacing of Chainsaw Man Reze movie is also near perfect as it does justice to the source material. It mirrors Fujimoto’s manga faultlessly: romantic, chaotic, and unrelenting.

We cannot skip over the choice of colors, music, and sound design by MAPPA, as they have just elevated the viewing experience. Even the new theme, "Iris Out," has perfect lyrics that sum up Denji's situation in the movie.

It would not be wrong to say that MAPPA’s animators have taken Fujimoto’s twisted brilliance and transformed it into a sensory overload of blood, heartbreak, and beauty.
