The pros heavily outbalance the cons in this show so far. Sound design is immaculate, from the chainsaw noise to Pochita's woof. Denji's voice actor is top notch, and Makima's is spot on. Mappa's CGI is still nowhere near Ufotables flawless blend of 2D and 3D, and the intro to Dennis' Chainsaw devil was a little slower than imagined, but well animated nonetheless, as the fine detail in the CGI work is better than Mappa has ever done before. The opening in gorgeous, but the song isn't quite the heavy metal banger fans were undoubtedly expecting, let alone a song with casual replay value. With the unique ending song announcement I was anticipating a unique closing animation as well but it was just scrolling text, so that was a bit dissapointing too. But the overall animation was gorgeous, as well as the pacing and direction being top notch, so I'm expecting a lot from the rest of the season!
