However, Chainsaw Man definitely stands out from the lot with its unique concept and premise, not to mention a quirky cast of characters. The footage so far looks crazy and intense, but it also looks like the production crew at Studio MAPPA have really captured the look, essence, and style of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s manga. This definitely appears to be a show that is worth a look and one to add to the weekly streaming queue.
