Chainsaw Man Movie: Reze-hen

As the dust from his turbulent first days slowly settles, Denji finds his place within this new order at an unexpected pace. Even the heavy responsibilities brought by devil hunting cannot dampen his spirits; for his mind has already drifted elsewhere: to Makima.

Makima's decision to take Denji on a date fundamentally changes Denji's world. For Denji, that day is much more than an ordinary meeting; it is almost like a vow ceremony. He promises himself that he has dedicated his heart to Makima and will leave no room for any other woman.

However, fate is determined to test the promise Denji has made. On a rainy day, meeting a waitress named Reze with innocent eyes in a phone booth is enough to turn everything upside down. Reze's demeanor, oscillating between shyness and courage, sweetness and flirtation, instantly steals the heart Denji had just sworn to keep. Denji finds himself at the door of the cafe where Reze works every single time, searching for ways to multiply the minutes spent with her.

But there is a truth Denji cannot see: his encounter with Reze goes far beyond being a romantic dilemma for Denji, who is caught between two women. Behind the scenes of this meeting, a dark story that could threaten even his own life is quietly taking shape.

Production

Tatsuya Yoshihara directs the anime, with Kikunosuke Toya voicing our main character, Denji, and Reina Ueada voicing Reze. Just like in the series' first season, this film has been presented to anime fans.

Review

In this film, compared to the first season, we can say that more attention was paid to the characters' inner worlds, and the bond between Denji and Reze is particularly strong. The action scenes in the film practically nail you to your seat, allowing you to feel the excitement down to your bones. While the romance between Reze and Denji at the beginning might make the anime feel heavier, it adds pleasant nuances, but later on, the events gradually become more complex. Actually, while watching the first season, I thought the anime had an extremely harsh and gloomy atmosphere. After all, even though it is an anime themed around action, adventure, and devils, the fact that the character is only 16 years old, and that having food and a place to sleep brings him happiness, was an element that increased the dramatic aspect of the anime. We feel the same thing in the film. The lives of the characters Denji and Reze are truly dramatic and heartbreaking. Despite everything, the film's action is really solid and thrilling. I also recommend listening to the opening track, which is magnificent. I actually don't want to give too many spoilers about the film, but the only thing I can say on this subject is that Reze is really a bombshell of a girl!!!:)) Because it contains adult elements and extremely violent scenes in places, I do not recommend it for young viewers. Also, if you noticed, the character Rize from Tokyo Ghoul resembles the character Reze in the film. The reason for this is that the two manga artists are very close friends and they reference each other's work. In short, if you want to watch action and occasional romance, and if you are a fan of Chainsaw Man, the film is really good.
