The Chainsaw Man anime doesn't take itself too seriously despite still having its heavier moments. With Denji as the protagonist, it's only natural to have a healthy mix of laughs and cries to reflect the infamous Chainsaw Man himself. At times Denji can be a complete goof, cracking jokes, or making a fool out of himself, but he still has his more somber moments of intense grief or sadness (he is still human, after all).
