What‘s Up, Nerds?

E46: Chainsaw Man (Which Does Not, At It’s Heart, Have Much to Do with Chainsaws)


Listen Later

Do you hear that sound, coming from the darkness? They say it's the last thing a devil hears before being sent back to hell...and no, before you make the joke, it's not our podcast.
 
On this week's episode, we cover what is guaranteed to be one of the biggest, most popular anime adaptations of 2022, and I'd stake our nerd cred on that prediction - that's right folks, we're talking Chainsaw Man.
 
What lengths would you go to sacrifice for power? What does it mean to be a human, living a life worth living? And how the hell is a series about a boy with chainsaws for a head and arms so damn good?
 
Start your engines, rev up, and join us as we bring you into an overview of Shonen Jump's smash hit. Get in early and make your pacts before the anime releases later this year!
Quick content warning: Chainsaw Man is definitely a very intense, violent, and at times NSFW story, although everything is handled tactfully. It just may not be the kind of thing you'd want young children reading, although we highly recommend it for anyone who can stomach it.
