Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc - MAPPA Just Delivered Pure Cinema
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc
TL;DR
This is essential viewing for any anime fan. MAPPA has created something truly special here - a film that respects the source material while elevating it to new heights. The 4DX experience makes it even more immersive, turning every fight into a theme park ride. Whether they greenlight Season 2 or continue with more movies, this sets the bar incredibly high.
Alright, let's talk about this absolute banger that just dropped. I walked into Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc with pretty high expectations after the anime series, and somehow MAPPA managed to blow past every single one of them.
My man Denji , i feel ya!
The Good Stuff
First off - the animation. Holy shit, MAPPA. These madlads really said "let's make every frame look like it belongs in an art gallery" and then actually went and did it. The action sequences flow like butter, and I'm not even exaggerating when I say I was internally cheering during some of the fight scenes. You know that feeling when animation is so good it gives you goosebumps? Yeah, that happened multiple times.
4DX Experience Alert: I caught this at Event Cinemas in 4DX and mate, every single fight scene felt like being strapped into a rollercoaster. The seats throwing you around during the devil battles was absolutely mental in the best way possible. Pro tip though - do NOT eat before going to a 4DX screening of this. Trust me on this one. Your stomach will thank you later.
if you can spare the price tag for 4dx you should definitely give it a go!
The pacing is perfect. No dragging moments, no rushed exposition dumps - just pure, well-structured storytelling that keeps you glued to your seat (when the 4DX isn't literally throwing you out of it). Every character feels memorable and distinct, which is impressive considering how packed this arc is.
