just binged this entire series in one sitting. i guess given the fact that i did the exact same thing with fire punch i shouldn't be too surprised

Eustace posted:Based on the authors previous work with Fire Punch, I can only see this series get darker and more depressing yeah in fire punch it was explicitly in the moments when the protagonist self actualized and tried to aggressively solve problems that things would take an even bigger turn to the dark and depressing i could be wrong, but i would bet when denji does come to his senses things will only get worse

Manatee Cannon posted:some people acting like this is gonna go full devilman crybaby but there's a limit to how dark a shonen jump series is gonna go fire punch ran in shonen jump's online magazine. it had a lot more sexual stuff and explicit gore (at least as i remember it), which is more appropriate for an online offering, but i'm not sure how different the tone will end up being, especially given the events of the last 4 chapters but chiasuar makes a very good point that the themes aren't necessarily going to be a 1 to 1 between an old work and a new series it will be interesting to see how things will develop with the removal of several major and minor characters between the hell arc and the most recent arc. fire punch dealt with this several times by radically changing the setting in each instance, but that might be harder to do in a non-post apocalyptic setting

dogsicle posted:fujino, kyomoto while reading it i couldn't help but think of the kyoani arson great oneshot, i've been impressed since i started reading firepunch at how fujimoto can effortlessly convey emotions and a character's state of mind (which is often some manner of unhinged) also the sudden turn into tragedy in a way that's so over the top and instantaneous that it manages to shock me as a reader so much i never read it as cheap melodrama. which reflecting on the plot points of firepunch and chainsaw man is kind of impressive

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:i'm starting to suspect that fujimoto might like movies he makes the signs real subtle, but if you look hard enough you can put together the pieces edit: i think i personally prefer look back, but this was also great. i think as much as i enjoy the joke above, seeing the mangaka return again to one of their prominent symbols/themes in such an explicit way kind of took me out of it a bit. i don't know maybe i'll appreciate it more on a re-read. everything else aside, the punchline is excellent GhostofJohnMuir fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Apr 10, 2022 |

good chapter, i've definitely missed this series the antics of bucky never really hooked me because i was waiting for the shoe to drop, but everything from the demon reveal to the end of the chapter was aces. the spine sword was disturbing on a visceral level. with all the hosed up stuff fujimoto has already drawn in chainsaw man and firepunch, i'm always amazed that he can still consistently suprise

i found firepunch to be something i couldn't tear myself away from, and thoroughly enjoyed, but also not something i can bring myself to read again. i'm very glad creating it gave fujimoto a chance to work with ideas that he could then make much more coherent in chainsaw manLamebot posted:I had to stop reading FP after the villain exposited their goal. It was too ridiculous for me. for me that was the best moment in the entire series

the structure of asa's "i always trip at the critical moment" flashback was great. fujimoto just has such an ability to draw a story with so much more impact than a written summary would convey

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?

denji being the on the receiving end of the brooding loner routine is great "i hate you. actually i'm just too dangerous, don't hang around me *proceeds to aggressively make out*" i think our idiot boy is going to fall for it hard

i guess for all that i love fujimoto's characters, plotting, and humor, the thing i might find most compelling is just the really weird concepts or visuals that come out of nowhere. which is why bucky the friendly talking chicken carcass and yoru turning the teacher into a horrific living bonesword had me hooked from the first chapter of part 2. it's too off-putting not to like

Valentin posted:this chapter also did a lot for me to pull Asa's part two arc into focus against denji's part one arc. a lot of part one for denji is about coming to acknowledge himself as not a dog but a person, who is allowed to have desires and feelings and to want to live for something more than mere survival even if that something is childish or stupid, which is why his emotional arc climaxes with the tearful realization that he actually wants a hundred girlfriends and steak every day for breakfast. hmm, interesting thoughts, thanks for writing them up. it does seem to line up with a bit that stuck with me from this arc, when yuko is stuck as a devil and is talking things out with asa before leaving, she apologizes for being selfish, she only reached out to asa because she was desperate for a friend

thinking back to the first training session with kishibe and power having to reset a broke brain denji and then looking at his tactics this chapter. kishibe really did make denji stronger, but probably not in the way he meant too
