Does this means that it airs midnight for Japan, which would be 10:30am EST and 7:30am PST here? Also I have no idea at this point if it's simulcast with English dub on Crunchyroll or whatever the situation is.

Makima fans gaslighting themselves into believing she's got a big rear end has been extremely funny.

Anyway; Chainsaw Man.

They didn't get Bakugo's VA. Japanese voice of Denji's pretty much a rookie.

He can really bring the same "gently caress YOU AND DIE" energy, though. I'll give you that.

You can only think of Halloween until you die.
The first episode is really good and nailed the somber tone of the manga that I was worried would be left behind for something more bombastic, which there is also plenty of in the manga. My only major gripes so far:

1. The style is SO clean that it loses some of the character and charm of the manga. I'll take it as a necessary trade-off for how good the 2D animation looks though.
2. The majority of this episode's big fight is CG and it doesn't look bad, but it is just very obvious and I wish we could have big fun action set pieces done in 2D more often these days.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here of having any criticisms of the show, I just think the CG is very obvious.

What is the status of the dub? I’ll almost certainly watch the sub but why are they not releasing it at the same time? This feels very silly to me

I love Leinster and I couldn't be happier that Jordie Barrett has signed with them on a short term deal.
Thought I'd check out ADTRW, to see what everyone thought, and I'm shocked and disappointed to read some of these posts.

I, for one, actually thought that Episode 1 of Chainsaw Man was incredibly enjoyable.

The weird thing is that the dub for the first episode already aired at a con. So, I don't know.

Homestuck is a true work of art surpassing all of Shakespeare's works.
Yeah, we're onto something. Chainsaw Man was going to be start good no matter what but even with this really strong season this has stood up and delivered. OP solid, music good, aninmation nice (the CG models are really nice even if you can still tell by the camera moves) and little details they added (I think) like how the Chainsaw head melts away were really nice. The next 12 weeks are going to be a joy.

Yeah, I liked the choreography of the big fight scene, but the CG was pretty obvious and not rough by any means, but it does kinda take you out with how it;s like 95% of teh way there to looking 2D but the movement or the shading betrays it.

As a first time Chainsaw Man enjoyer, I didn't mind the action scenes being a little lesser because everything building up to it was crazy good and satisfying.

I've not read the manga, but I get the impression that Power is a fun character from the OP and anime opening, so I'm looking forward to her.

I was wondering why the opening looked so odd.

Not a fan of the edgy/cheesy origin story but am a fan of the carnage.
