Watching Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc with livestream of cast event

Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc (劇場版 チェンソーマン レゼ篇) premiered in Japanese theatres yesterday, but I held off watching it because there was going to be a livestream of a cast event today.

It was an interesting 100-minute movie, with contrast between the slower pace of the first half and the bizarre second half. The twist in the story was also really unexpected for me, being someone who hasn't read the manga, but there were small clues along the way. The entire movie was gripping and I found the overall pace to be really good. Needless to say, it was extremely well animated too, with excellent music scoring. 

 

The cast event took place after the movie. It featured the voice actors for Denji, Reze, Makima, Aki, Kobeni, Angel Devil, and Violence Fiend. It was interesting to hear them talk about the recording sessions and their thoughts on the series.
