suppose this - the thing people scared of communism are afraid of is sufficiently disconnected from what it actually is, such that eating that devil would leave actual communism real, healthy and strong

Would there be a "Commie" devil and a "Communist" devil since those words are sometimes used to describe very different things?

No wars past WWI means there were no annexations, no occupations, no proxy wars; combine that with the lack of mutually assured destruction (because no nukes) and you take away a whole lot of the reasons for a widespread fear of communism to emerge.

I imagine this devil as a shifty mass of images no one can agree on.

Alternatively it's an animated version of The Dress.

I'm guessing the Aquarium Spear idea will work, but in a way that makes things only slightly better rather than fixing them. Like, it turns out the Aquarium is turned into a really tall spear building and they have to climb their way down and it's falling apart the whole time and
incredibly unsafe.

Can’t wait to battle the Arbitrarily Large Number Devil, who has all the combat prowess of a maths professor but you need to kill him 8E+54 times.

Denji tries to impress Asa by telling her he’s chainsaw man and she doesn’t believe him

Asa tries to seduce Yoshida and gets rejected

Yoshida takes Denji out to eat and get him to do what he says and gets ignored

Asa tries to shoehorn Denji into her date itinerary and he just wants to see penguins

What if everyone in the world just sucks at manipulation now that Makima’s dead

Bonus: when Denji isn’t trying to impress Asa in a self-centered way and figured out something for her to eat, he makes a genuine connection with her

I've been thinking about the anime and how it could adapt the rest of part 1. Assuming season 2 covers everything from Reze to the Gun Devil, that still leaves the final arc that's too short to do a full season. What if they did the entirety of the final arc as a movie though?

I figured Reze and Assassins could be season 2, and everything else would be season 3.

My assumption was that they would do a bomb devil movie, then have assasins to the finale as an entire season.

The anime has been pretty good about pacing, I actually like that they put a little padding here and there to build up and give breathing room to the events. The manga seemed a little compressed

That's unfair!

Power has to wake up pretty early every morning to drink Denji's blood without him noticing. Then she goes back to sleep until noon.

you probably also read the manga a lot faster than most of us did. which is naturally going to change your perspective

the way it moves from explosive action to slice of life makes a lot of readers blaze through to see wtf is actually going on

I like both and I agree Bomb should be a movie shot as a rom com until the car chase. Assassins thru ending is going to be a good clip, but they could end it at hand of Hell coming down and add some padding with Power's PTSD. if they rushed thru the ending into Asa would be kinda jarring

assassins through makima defeat as season two eps 1 through 12

episode 13 first half is the debrief with kishibe, introduction of nayuta. second half is asa and the chicken devil, but not the full chapter. ends on asa killing bucky. roll credits. anime goes on hiatus for two years until part 2 is ready.

How often does a movie end up just being part of the next season? I watched the demon Hunter movie thinking it would be a theatrical exclusive and then it just ended up being part of season 2

Having part 2 as part of the same season as the end of part 1 feels like it would weaken both. Instead of giving the climax time to breathe, it would immediately be followed up with unrelated events. Meanwhile, Asa's debut would be spent with anime onlies still occupied with thinking about Nayuta and Denji.

I mean, if you're joking, you're joking, and tone is a mess online, but I really don't see much benefit to having Asa debut in part 1 beyond maybe a cameo like Reze got.

maybe just the spotlight of Asa and a squish sound plus blood splatter as a post credit scene. both in and out of context it's funny

Bomb as a movie doesn't really work. The pacing, how the characters interact and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Probably the best choice would be to do two 10 episode cours. Ten episodes is just about perfect to get to the end of Assassin, then ten more to finish part one.
