## 2025-10-26 This is easily one of the best movies I’ve seen this year, and one of the best anime movies I’ve ever seen too. *Definitely* the best shonen-battler movie I’ve ever seen, hands down. It’s a perfect recap of Reze’s arc, paced as smoothly as a stick of butter, and gorgeous in every frame. The direction of every shot is beautiful, the music is by Kensuke Ushio, who did the OST for **Silent Voice**, and uses those creaky piano notes to full effect. I cried, I laughed, I marked out. And then I got to hear a goddamn [Utada Hikaru song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPLqsLsooJY&pp=0gcJCQMKAYcqIYzv) on theater speakers. In a phrase: ![[Chainsaw Man the Movie - Reze-1762632989865.png]]
