Watched Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc early this week. Here’s my comment about it on the anime community:

Saw it in IMAX last night. It was great! Better than Infinity Castle, because it actually felt like a movie instead of a couple of episodes mashed together. Much better paced.

And no lengthy backstories! When the Angel Devil had a quick flashback, I was about to groan about having to interrupt an action scene with a backstory, but I’m glad they didn’t. In fact, having Makima and Kishibe just say a couple of lines about Angel’s and Reze’s histories was enough to give you their backgrounds, instead of doing a 30-minute flashback.

The music was amazing. The action scenes were not hard to follow even with so much happening.

My only minor gripe(?) is the change of art style. I get that the director wanted it to be faithful to the manga, and it should be, but I’ve grown to like the grounded and realistic animation of S1. Not a dealbreaker though. Also, why bother censoring when it’s an R-18 rated movie already? It just makes it look weird. Either show it or don’t at all.
