Chainsaw Man debuted on Crunchyroll. Studio MAPPA’s new anime finally hits the screens with the first installment of a series already destined to make history. Twitter, Reddit and every other social network on the web raged and it was a real attack on the platform to be able to see Denji in action.
The episode begins with the opening of Chainsaw Man, but in full Fujimoto tradition, that’s not just what you see. In fact, there are many cinematic references. The author is a big fan of films – both Japanese and Western – and so Studio MAPPA has paid tribute to this passion by recording these films Quotes in the opening of Chainsaw Man:
- Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- hyenas
- pulp fiction
- Sadako VS Kayako
- It’s not a country for old people
- Once upon a time in Hollywood
- Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
- Joyu Rei – ghost actress
- Perverted hallucination
- constantine
- The big Lebowski
- Thor: Love and Thunder
- Neon Genesis Evangelion
- fight club
- perspective
Also, some don’t get lost References to another work by Tatsuki Fujimoto, or the explosion of Addio Eri, but also some images directly related to Dante’s Divine Comedy. In the tweet below you can see some of these comparisons. Have you noticed all those cinematic and serial quotes?
