I was surprised to see Beam and Future Devil there. Looks like they'll be going up to the beginning of the Reze Arc?

I’m pretty positive we get to the end of the katana arc season 1. Slightly less than half of part 1 in 12 episode.

Love the little cut of Denji and Power just dancing in the street. Feels very true to them.

Decided to give into the hype and watch the first episode.

Saw some people complaining about the CGI, but I thought the animation was fluid and well done.

Interested to see where it goes. I barely watch anime anymore, so kind of fun to see what the medium is like these days.

Also this is the manga thread so you might want to bail to the new anime one if you're even remotely concerned about spoilers!

Admittedly, several of these seem like they could be coincidences or are a bit of a stretch, but it's shocking how many scenes I assumed were just cool shots turned out to explicitly be references

The whole episode felt movie like with how a ton of shots were framed. Like everything before Denji becoming Chainsaw Man wouldn't feel out of place in zombie movie.

Which makes sense considering Fujimoto himself.

The thor one seems like bullshit, and the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood looks... unlikely.

The rest are pretty clearly spot on. Like why WAS there a golden ball randomly in the op- oh that's why

Yeah like I said, a few seem tenuous at best. I agree on Thor, and imo I think the Constantine and Resevoir Dogs ones are coincidences. I could see Once Upon A Time in Hollywood going either way - it's clearly the same shot, but it's a generic enough one that it could be referencing something else, too.

With how much Fujimoto loves movies how can you say the OUATIH one is iffy? Its literally the same shot!! Like what other reason is there to include that specific behind the passengers car reversing shot with everyone posed that way if not to reference it?

The bit with Makima feeding Denji a certain snail was a very interesting touch in the OP. I also loved the Future Devil rocking out.

The plants growing around her also include venus flytraps.

Pretty clear signals.

(Also, the shot of Power is the biggest lie in the anime, and I include anything Power has said past, present, or future here.)

I think my favorite thing from the OP was definitely when they were at the movie theater and Power stole Kobeni's seat.

So much of the style and tone of this show is such a departure from anime it’s nuts. So so so cinematic.

The ED being just credits weirdly surprised me.

The CGI is basically perfect with one exception, right after he kills zombie. Otherwise it was rad.

PringleCreamEgg

Sleep, rest, do your best.
I am guessing this season will end with Denji’s movie date with Makima since that’s right after Katana wraps up and right before Reze shows up. It would be a pretty decent spot to ‘end’ as well.

Someone mentioned the Bomb Girl arc as being a movie and that sounds fairly reasonable. I’d rather it just be a season but considering how profitable anime movies have been recently, it could be a thing.

Man, October kicks rear end.

I really need to take a break from the Chainsaw Man manga for like six months or so and then come back and read a whole bunch of chapters at once because these cliffhangers are killing me.

It's funny how Yoku's reaction to finding out Denji is Chainsaw Man was just "Oh, that's disappointing" which, yeah, valid response.

Kobeni getting up from her seat to use the bathroom, Power taking her seat instead, refusing to give it back and then chugging her drink resulting in Kobeni crying on the floor. What an absolute perfect way to tell the audience everything about both of them. A+++ episode.

I just wanted to talk about this bit over here, because it also works with how movie theaters are sometimes a metaphor for death in Fujimoto works.

Kobeni is, after all, the only person in that group who doesn't die. She's denied her seat.

anime is not good
i'm trying to keep myself from reading too much into the early stuff now that i have the context of the end of part one, but when the zombie devil told his minions to eat denji to stop him from regenerating, that has to be deliberate foreshadowing on fujimoto's part, right?

I mean, Fujimoto named Aki "Aki" because of his meaningless love for Makima and for an AK-47. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd included that as deliberate foreshadowing, considering that he's said Denji and Makima's final fight was planned for from chapter 1.
