The “Chainsaw Man” opening sequence is superbly edited, but it may also inspire some déjà vu if you are a film lover. Several classic movies that wholly define the genres of horror, comedy, action, and exploitation can be interpreted from how the anime arranges the shots. Thanks to the immediacy of social media, fans of the series have already taken to Twitter to upload breakdowns and series-to-film comparison tweets. 

Fan account @ChainsawManPS uploaded a clip that includes brief montages of “Reservoir Dogs,” “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “The Big Lebowski,” and many more pieces of film that match the homages in the program. Fans immediately filled the comment section with platitudes remarking on the stellar editing job. “The opening is so beautifully done,” @csm_facts wrote.

Many of the films referenced in the main title for “Chainsaw Man” span the decades of the ’70s-’90s, which likely won’t be immediately recognizable to all viewers. Thankfully, @peghuss tweeted a reply with a screenshot of the YouTube video and top comments underneath it that lists each movie with time stamps in the opening sequence. All of the mentioned films fit the show’s style and tone, which is yet another reason why this series will be one of the most thrilling to dive into each week.
