Synopsis
Meet Denji: a teenager with nothing left to lose, so broke he sold an eye and a kidney just to chip away at his dead father's yakuza debt. His only friend in the world is Pochita, a small chainsaw-headed devil dog who helps him hunt devils for cash he never gets to keep. When the yakuza decide he's more useful dead than alive, Pochita merges with Denji's body to save his life, and now this kid can rip chainsaws out of his face and arms. That's how he gets recruited into the government's Public Safety Division by a woman named Makima, who offers him something revolutionary: regular meals and a place to sleep. Denji's not fighting for honor or revenge or to save the world. He just wants to eat bread with jam and maybe hold a girl's hand. The cast around him, Aki, a revenge-driven devil hunter with actual ambition, and Power, a chaotic blood fiend with zero impulse control, makes for a team dynamic that's equal parts dysfunctional and genuinely funny. MAPPA went hard on this one, with fluid fight animation and a different ending theme for every single episode across all 12. The tone sits somewhere between Jujutsu Kaisen's cursed action and Dorohedoro's grimy absurdity, with a bit of Devilman Crybaby's willingness to go dark without warning. It's crude, bloody, weirdly heartfelt, and set in a late-90s Japan where devils are just part of daily life. If that sounds like your thing, this is a pretty easy 12-episode commitment.

It Is a good first
Great first episode. My poor son Denji had such s hard terrible life and little baby Pochita is all he had. This episode always makes me sad and happy at the same time cos now they'll be together forever and he's finally free of debt after his whole childhood was spent barely even making a dent in it.
Denji you dog
This might be the first time I’ve read the manga going into the anime, it’s fire
I love it
Ah yes, love it when Denjis main motivation is to touch some boobs . Can relate
Was an awesome fight at the end, it was visually great seeing them fight too.
My all-time favorite action anime, i love how it pretty much acts like a superhero movie but it’s chainsaws in Japan.
woof woof! AMAZING!!!! animation! Honestly one of the best animated shows of all time! Love the pacing! Visuals! The story! It's funny! It's sad! It's action packed! That opening is sooooooooo good!!
