Cuntellectual posted:Out of curiosity, what'd you like about Fire Punch? It's probably one of my least favorite manga that I actually completed. As someone who also liked it for some reason, I think the main reason is that I found it "interestingly weird." I had no idea where it was going and I also liked how it kept relatively straight to the "this guy is experiencing constant agony" premise (to the extent that I felt uncomfortable just reading it). So it's not so much that I thought it was really good, but I found it to be better than most other random manga simply by virtue of being interesting and surprising.

RatHat posted:I suspect death in Hell might not be the same as death in the real world. It likely means either death or something significant like being turned into a devil, since you'll notice that the only characters not obviously killed were the really major ones (Chainsaw, Power, dude who uses the Fox Devil).

Inflammatory posted:until i see denji, power, or aki bite it i'm gonna assume anybody who dies is dead dead. Yeah, the fact that the most major characters were spared or suffered "not extremely obviously fatal" injuries makes me think the ones that weren't are actually dead.

Chainsaw Man retroactively vindicates my (at the time) controversial opinion that Fire Punch was actually good, if rough around the edges.

NickRoweFillea posted:The section at the beginning when he talks about how long it took for him to begin to cope with the pain was very vivid. The man can draw some violence The depiction of the guy constantly being in hellish discomfort was genuinely uncomfortable to read. There was this one scene where he was up all night and a character (I think the film buff one?) was talking to him and he mentioned it distracting from the pain. Media frequently has characters who experience non-stop pain develop a mental "resistance" to it, even though it totally doesn't work that way at all (if anything it's the opposite), so it was interesting seeing something different.

chiasaur11 posted:I'll admit that I've only read about ten, twenty chapters into JJK (didn't have any real dislike of it, just didn't do it for me) and it's definitely... more standard. JJK's got the mystical secret organization, the hero getting drawn into it from ordinary life, the supporting cast of oddballs, the concrete quest, the recurring baddies, whole thing. It feels like a more violent traditional shonen. While it's obviously more "typical" than CSM (which doesn't follow that template at all), I would characterize it as far less typical than something like MHA. The general way the plot progresses is pretty unique, and the characters are generally much better than the ones in other shounen battle manga (including MHA; I like MHA, but it sticks fairly closely to character archetypes). I actually like how the JJK protagonist is superficially similar to other shounen protagonists, but is actually quite different. He's not motivated as much by some great altruism/heroism as he is a desire to keep his connections with other people (and ensure he "dies surrounded by loved ones," which is fundamentally selfish in a way), and he's generally a pretty cool/chill guy who sorta comes off as more confident than most other shounen protags (who are either burning spirit types or heroic types who can still be kind of awkward socially).

CodfishCartographer posted:Funny, I didn't really interpret the scene that way. I think he started crying because of all the complicated emotions, and worried that Makima would think he wasn't happy to visit or something. Alternatively, maybe he was worried she'd think he was coming on to her or something by cuddling up Yeah, this is really obviously what's going on. It doesn't make any sense for him to be reflexively trying to activate his chainsaw, and he is very obviously emotionally distraught and crying but does't want her to see it (so he's covering his face). Also, isn't there only a chainsaw cord thing in his chest?

grassy gnoll posted:I've found the person who's never taken care of a Husky, let alone multiple Huskies. One of my dogs is a half-husky and she's pretty much the complete opposite of "eager to please"; she follows you around yelling at you until you pet her. She's probably the smartest dog I've ever had in general. The other dog, a mutt, is completely cowed by her even though he weighs like 40 pounds more and is basically a mass of rippling muscle. vvv It's a very apt description. Probably the most accurate term to use for it would be "bitching." Just making sure that you know she is not pleased with the fact that you aren't paying attention to her and is going to follow you around wailing about it until you do.

A genuine moment in this series stands out more due to its tone during the rest of it. It only really works and manages to not be cheesy because of that.
