Is Himeno really dead in Chainsaw Man? Fans digest one of the most brutal battle sequences in the anime so far in episode 8 ‘Gunfire’.
If you have read the original Chainsaw Man manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto, you will understand that pacing, specifically the changes from slow-paced dialogue to the instantaneous fast-paced action, is one of the series’ best aspects.
That change of pacing was on full show in episode 8 of MAPPA’s anime adaptation, which culminated in a brutal extermination attempt of the entire Public Safety division.
