"Shawty" is slang and fits the tone of the show so it checks out.

Also, made me laugh.

I am the sexiest poster in the world!
Just caught the first two episodes, looks fun so far. Nice to see a protagonist who has a rad ability (because in a setting like this you gotta have something) but is an absolutely pathetic fighter compared to everyone else around him, although constantly closed eyes tend to irritate me as a character design. I guess it's justified for the first time ever as him using his eyelids as a filter and being able to see right past them all the time anyway with his magic eyes. I'm looking forward to fights that aren't one sided as well, although I wonder who can stand up to Libra in a straight-up fight.

I feel like "hottie" or some variation thereof would be closer, but idk how Japanese thinks english slang works.

Depending on how linear they're drawing from the manga stories, you might get your answer in Episode 4. There's also plenty of stuff in later chapters that requires all of them working together to stop.

I thought the second episode did a pretty good job depicting them working together, even if the "Fight" was decided in seconds. Leonard found the van and stopped it, Zap marked it, Chain tracked it, and Klaus and Stephen put the boots to the bad guys.

That said, the show does seem more geared towards fights as the culmination of a conflict, rather than serving as a basis for them.

Looks like it's "baka/idiot." Dick suck is still pretty amusing.

Jerusalem's Lot is cooler than Hellsalem's Lot. Also this was a dope episode and I'm glad that Leo can do cool poo poo with his powers and won't have to be a dead weight who has to be bailed out by others.
I like that Zapp uses his awesome blood bending for petty theft :allears:

I went looking to see if anyone posted the episode titles for 4-6 but all I found was this, and I dunno if it means anything since I haven't read the manga.

It means they're skipping over the zap gets high and has adventures in the city story, but the rest of the titles match up to the normal progression.

I don't read the manga but that sounds like a tragic omission and I hope it's just being shuffled around.

Eh it's not exactly something you can spin out to 25 minutes, and with only a single cour you can probably assume all the little chapters are getting skipped like K.K. dragging Leo out to go hunting for a card for her kid's birthday, or Chain drinking a thug under the table and leaving him with the tab.

I'd wager Steven A. Starphase's dinner party makes it in as a scene somewhere though.

They could easily cover those in OVAs or later in the season thanks to how loose the plot threads are in the series.

Not really. There's enough "big" chapters to adapt as-is, plus whatever anime-exclusive story is going to happen.

Hell even if they don't fit NOW I don't think it would be too big of a deal to have them in a theoretical second season.

Oh don't worry, I'm hoping for a second season too :pray:. At the very least they could just say "gently caress it" and stuff them all into a single episode for a filler ep.

edit: On a side-note, if Episode 4 is going to be Blood Line Fever, I can't wait to see Lucky Abrahms turn up :munch:.

That would make for a pretty fun episode and it would be a shame to miss out on that stuff, so I hope they work them in somehow. As fun as Zapp's cat hunt is I think Chain in the bar was my favorite. I could see an episode that's just Leo bouncing between them all getting caught up in this stupid poo poo.

I don't know. The TV stations abbreviate it the city as HL, you can hear the police call themselves the HLPD, and so on. I think it's actually supposed to be Hellsalem's Lot in the anime.

Looks like it is indeed officially Hellsalem. I just re-watched the episode and noticed that if you look very very carefully you can see the license plate on the car when it dives off the bridge, and it says Hellsalem's Lot.
