For those of you dub watchers who swear by the original Japanese audio… I get it, I really do.
The purist approach has its charm but sometimes you just want to lie back and enjoy some good old fashioned demon-slaying without reading subtitles. Based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s wildly popular manga, Chainsaw Man follows the life of Denji, a down-on-his-luck lad with the simple dream of living a normal life. But normal is overrated, and instead, Denji merges with his demon dog Pochita to become Chainsaw Man. Did I mention it’s weirdly philosophical? Because it is, in the way that only a show featuring a chainsaw-headed hero can be.
Chainsaw Man’s dub cast lineup has experienced voice actors who understand the assignment. So, you can dive right into the anime without any reservations about losing the original’s impact or nuance.
