the end-of-episode cuts are weirdly placed, the CGI clunks occasionally and some scenes are too stretched out (especially in the last episode), but this is probably as good of an adaptation as CSM could have gotten. its core is the contrast between the mundane and the horrific and mappa's decision to elevate the former was arguably more unique and absolutely successful

Aki's morning routine and Himeno getting home are the highest points of the anime as an adaptation. Some of the fight scenes are too dragged out for my tastes, and the latest episode felt pretty slow to me, but even at its worst it's a perfectly competent adaptation that doesn't quite do justice to the source material

In a perverse way, a very successful show getting a weird petition that sparks debate with split consensus is literally just free publicity for MAPPA’s very successful project.

"Amala, I've got a chainsaw on my arm. I'll be fine."
Yeah, anecdotally, I was recommending chainsaw man to my brother-in-law for a while. What finally convinced him years later? The Opening to the Anime.

He’s reading the manga now because he couldn’t wait. I had it happen to a few other friends. Now that I think about it, this might say more about me.

i just don't think tapping into the directorial conventions that dominate much of film, prestige TV, and AAA games is all that much of a gamble. of course people like it, products with 4k overanimated footage of vegetables getting cut for a meal will not be ignored, in social media or otherwise. no one will say Uncharted 6's $3 billion pore-modeling engine is a vision of surpassing artistic purity, though. it's just how blockbusters are done

i'm just quibbling in the end, Mushishi and Mononoke are my favorite animes so it's not like i hate measured stuff. i will fully own up to being an idiot, sure. it's not a bad time to be a fan or anything. the petition is dumb

<<Mobius 1, Engage.>>
imo the anime is a little overambitious with its animation given its resources at times, and overall less interesting composition than the manga

i dont really care for it but im not leaping out of my seat to get it redone lol

Homestuck is a true work of art surpassing all of Shakespeare's works.
The anime radiates a very specific vision and I can't truly fault it though I would have liked a more expressive colour pallet and maybe a bit more rough line work during action scenes but it's all "I would have interpreted it this way" was than "you did it wrong" and I can't deny this incredibly cinematic approach does lend itself to some truly gorgeous moments. Two people having a coffee while talking about going into the private side of biz would not be my expected prettiest scene.

Considering it was only 11 pages and apparently he had to deliver chapters early due to the holidays (hence the leaks), I'm surprised he didn't just combine this with the next chapter. That way the setup and payoff would've been contained in one longer chapter rather than being split kind of awkwardly in the middle. I enjoyed it regardless but I'm also dying to see more since there were a few really interesting developments in this one.

Yoshida is really doing everything in his power to seem both suspicious and not quite human.

Ch 115 spoilers, lmao that Denji is the best person to be locked up with in an aquarium, not because he's Chainsaw man, but because he's Denji. He could live for weeks in here showing everyone how to make wallpaper soup.

Just read the spoilers and it works for me, honestly. It'd feel a little abrupt to me otherwise.

I just thought of something: I don't think anyone ever explained to Denji how the Chainsaw Devil could eat other Devils and make them and the concept they drew their power from cease to exist.

So when Yoshida starts talking about Chainsaw Man eating the Death Devil the readers recognize that as some extremely classified information that it's suspicious Yoshida knows, but Denji is just thinking "Aw poo poo, this giant nerd has lost his mind and now he's babbling total nonsense".

Eh. Perfectly reasonable to assume that Kishibe told him. Probably would've come up as he ate Makima.

If only Denji ate the Eternity Devil the first time instead of just killing. That being said, if "eternity" was removed from the universe, what would change? Nothing lasts forever to begin with.

Have you ever been on a plane waiting for it to take off, but it gets delayed for some reason and they won't let you get off and go back inside the airport so you're just stuck waiting there feeling miserable squished together with a bunch of other equally miserable people and you have no idea how long you're going to be there?

If the Eternity Devil was eaten that wouldn't happen anymore.

Wouldn't that still happen, but people wouldn't be aware of it? Hybrids still exist despite Chainsawman eating their concept, we just don't know what they truly are anymore

I thought the concept of hybrids was eaten not all of the devils themselves. so people don't know hybrids are a thing but they still exist

fake edit: I guess the best example is the other alternatives to death. do they still happen even if no one knows of them anymore? I didn't get that impression from Makima's explanation. they simply aren't possible anymore

same thing with nuclear weapons. why would war care about chainsaw man, if nukes still secretly existed and killed people?

According to Makima the Hybrids are the only example of something still existing despite Chainsaw Man eating their concept.

Nuclear weapons are not a naturally occurring phenomenon. They have to be made by humans, so if no humans know they exist, how could they make them?

I suppose War could try to make one herself but is it possible for Asa to feel that guilty?

yeah that's the point I'm trying to make. they're the exception to the rule of chainsaw. why that's a thing I have no clue

I'll caveat that Makima isn't exactly the most trustworthy source. tho she didn't have any particular reason to lie in that situation

I think it's debatable what would happen here. could a human still stumble upon a situation where they induced nuclear fission? honestly this opens the door to way more questions than answers. so the end result is :shrug:

Just a friendly reminder of what it looks like.

We'll do punctuation later.
yoshida is already incredibly suspicious so it's not really that surprising that he knows real secrets too

wanting to exert control over denji (even if it's sincerely with denji's own interests in mind) means he's very likely to be bad news ultimately but it's of course completely unclear what his actual angle yet is - maybe he's working for/with kishibe in some capacity? but kishibe probably wouldn't take this tact

i assumed the hybrids cn exist because the chainsaw devil can become one so they can't get erased fully or thered be a big-rear end paradox. all the hybrids got stuck in this in-between zone where they cn exist but no one can conceive of what they are unless they find out about them or remember the hybrid devil. if they already existed or get made they still get to exist though
