Can’t wait for the Resident Evil 4 remake? Watch Chainsaw Man

digitaltrends.com:

With the upcoming Resident Evil 4 remake looming ever closer, fans may be looking for something to whet their appetites with. Given Resident Evil 4‘s unique identity, it’s often hard to find media that matches what the third-person shooter delivers. Narratively, it rides a delicate line between shocking horror and camp comedy in a way that doesn’t seem like it would work on paper, but in execution gives the game a voice all of its own.

There aren’t many other video games that successfully pull off RE4’s mix of tones although some like Lollipop Chainsaw and other games in the Resident Evil series have tried. For all their effort, though, games going for a similar feeling as Resident Evil 4 tend to miss the mark in one way or another whether that’s due to a lack of solid horror moments or self-aware camp from a writing perspective. This has made recommending things similar to RE4 to people who are looking for more sort of tricky. Other than a small handful of other pieces of media like Evil Dead 2, finding a good recommended companion piece for the game is a difficult task.

That is, with one exception: Chainsaw Man.

Chainsaw Man is a manga originating on the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine that took the world by storm when its first chapter was published in March 2019. The manga just saw its highly anticipated anime adaptation debut earlier this week and, given the overwhelmingly positive reception to the first episode, seems to be poised to explode in popularity as its first season continues its release schedule.

Chainsaw Man is the story of a 16-year-old boy named Denji who gets possessed by a demon giving him the power to grow chainsaws out of his arms and face in order to fight other demons to keep Japan safe. If
