Chainsaw Man 1x7 Reaction Extended (YT link below)
Added 2022-11-23 03:31:30 +0000 UTCIn Chainsaw Man episode 7, Taste of a Kiss, Denji gets a taste of something for sure... maybe a familiar taste? That scene was sort of unclear but also disturbing.

@Musicisum i think all Xisalex is saying is that Denji is 16 and we don't really have to hold the rest of the world too 2022 America standards, in the vast majority of cultures and societies around the world its totally normal and common for 16 year old men or women to have romantic relationships with older people. Everytime it happens in anime, you get multiple people going on and on and about how awful they think it is that this is happening in the show. its not pedophilia, people gotta learn the difference between small children and teenagers. also the age of consent in japan is not 13, thats the minimum federal requirement, but the lowest age of consent in any prefecture of Japan is 16, and most of them are 16. in the most of the united states its 16 as well, and in most of the world its 16 or younger.

2022-11-26 22:52:11 +0000 UTC@Xisalex I mean I'd much rather think of the characters in the shows I watch as reflections of semi-realistic people than as cardboard cutouts that get a pass for behaving a certain way because they're "cartoon characters". We're meant to relate to or even just understand these characters on some level, otherwise the story is uninteresting with no stakes. In this case, excusing a character's predatory behavior because she's fictional negates any sort of meaningful discussion we could have about her motivations and flaws, and then what's even the point of watching anything?

2022-11-26 04:47:15 +0000 UTCYou totally should. Maybe even a video of some sorts of your best ones. I am always amazed with your stories. You really seem to have seen it all lol.

2022-11-24 21:02:31 +0000 UTChttps://youtu.be/9p3lY7g_DBU Here also this is the track from Aki and Himeno talking at that balcony in ep 6 I really like how the album cover art looks more live action esque. The whole soundtrack gives off this very "distant lost memory" kind of vibe, with so many distorted and muffled instruments at times. And tbh I think chainsaw man feels nostalgic almost kind of "analog" if that makes sense. Plus it's set in 1997

2022-11-24 20:59:24 +0000 UTCThey FINALLY released the music from the first trailer. I've been waiting for it since I heard it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaHUz4-G4x0

2022-11-23 20:58:29 +0000 UTC@nick honestly im more than fine and happy with this, i dont need the story to get more intricate, ive got no major complaints from the series so far. they are knocking it out of the park. i hope it continues to focus on the personal day to day slice of life lives of these characters because thats what im enjoying the most. the demons are pretty cool so far as well.
Jasmine Tea Enjoyer
2022-11-23 19:49:41 +0000 UTCLuckily the best thing about chainsaw man is that the story gets progressively more intricate, so we're really just covering the "worst" arcs in season 1. Which is saying a lot considering the current ones, but quality of the later arcs is on another level
Nick
2022-11-23 18:04:27 +0000 UTC@Nick Yeah, totally. But we have yet to meet a perfect person in Chainsaw man, as it doesn’t have the same idealized characters as other shonen. Also she is very attractive, so I’d probably let her get away with mass murder.
Chris Sharpe
2022-11-23 18:03:16 +0000 UTCHimeno was actually one of my favorite characters in the manga up to this point and the moment where she carries Denji really made me uncomfortable but also gives a lot of insight to her character. I still think from a writing perspective she's a great character but in terms of morals-- ehh very questionable. She was VERY VERY drunk, but at the same time, I don't think that excuses it. It's complicated, love her character, don't know how I'd feel if she was a real person
Nick
2022-11-23 17:59:50 +0000 UTCyour side tale about the drinking battle had me wheezing on god I was not prepared
Alexiamw
2022-11-23 15:10:32 +0000 UTCIt’s not as big a deal as you feel like it is. We don’t need to have a conversation about social constructs every time something like this happens in a cartoon.
AlexXis Amadeus
2022-11-23 14:11:08 +0000 UTCI haven’t read the manga but I’d just venture to guess that it might be symbolism for her dynamic with Denji. Basically Denji is the snail and Makima is the parasite, using him to draw in bigger and more dangerous devils. Although if that is the intended reference, it bodes poorly for Denji’s future lol

2022-11-23 13:36:15 +0000 UTCTo all the manga readers out there who knew about what was to come and didn't warn us of it, the unsuspecting innocent souls, there's a special place in hell for y'all. But all jokes aside, I hope the animators are handsomely compensated and gifted a beach vacation to recoup. And RIP Denji 🙏

2022-11-23 09:15:34 +0000 UTCI think Himeno “creepiness” towards Denji is an intentional part of her character writing. Her interacting with Denji fit into who Denji is as a character and his role in the story. I’m not her biggest fan either, what she did was undeniably weird and predatory. As for Denji ending up “drunk” I don’t think Himeno took the time to intentionally get Denji intoxicated. She was completely shit-faced, I don’t think she was capable of something so premeditated. Plus she knew Denji was eager for her kiss and affection starved, why would she need to get him drunk to make a move on him? I think he was just worn out from vomiting his guts out. His dizziness probably had more to do with that than alcohol.
Megan
2022-11-23 07:44:03 +0000 UTCI've thought about that a lot. But one thing that stops me is when I think about what I'd have to include, a lot of it is very unflattering to me. I've come to terms with it in my own, and am honest to a fault and have told many people these things privately. Putting it in public form is a little different and is scary. But maybe that's why I need to do it
Alex G
2022-11-23 07:15:49 +0000 UTCTruly, I know you've been told this many times, but at some point, please do collect these stories together with your commentary and put them in writing. I think these life lessons would be really an amazing read and great help for any young person with wanderlust and a love for life but lacking a little direction or courage, or an older person who wants to have a few moments of living vicariously.

Jasmine Tea Enjoyer
2022-11-23 06:15:56 +0000 UTCIt happened in the same year as the drinking story in the video. While out with a friend we met two girls and hit it off. The girl I liked ended up moving into my house that night and living there for over 2 weeks due to some trouble at home. Problem was 1) we couldn't communicate at all (I couldn't speak any Korean at the time) and 2) she was an extreme alcoholic at the age of 22 I believe. Like, she would drink herself to sleep every night and start drinking as soon as she woke up, 7 days a week. After 2 weeks of dating and living together she dumped me, but despite the relationship being terrible for me I was pretty torn up about it. But by this point I was also friends by extension with the other girl that was with her the night we met, and we continued to hang out frequently. A few months later my US friend came to Korea and fell in love with her (they are married with a kid now). My friend being a meddler, orchestrated this whole thing where the friend would bring my ex (her friend) out and we would all drink together. The night ended up going really well and we reconciled, and later that week she invited me over to her house for dinner. We drank a lot as per usual, and went to sleep. At one point she rolled over and put her arm around me and was looking at me. So I leaned in and kissed her. And she threw up right at that moment. I left in the morning and that was the last communication I ever had with her.

2022-11-23 06:00:13 +0000 UTCMy curiosity has me wondering how you can relate to Denji with the barf kiss.... I need the story...
Kayla Grabow
2022-11-23 05:49:07 +0000 UTCNgl I'm a bit disturbed by Himeno, a woman in her early to mid 20s, preparing to have relations with a drunk 16 year old. I know the age of consent in Japan is 13 (which is absolutely horrifying in itself) but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth (ha ha). Also, how did Denji end up drunk in the first place? He said he was only drinking tea, and there's no way Himeno's vomit would've done it, so are we to assume Himeno got him drunk without his knowledge?

2022-11-23 05:36:45 +0000 UTCQuick question, are you a silent patron who is popping on for the chainsaw man videos, or are you a regular commenter who changed their username for the chainsaw man videos. Just curious.
Chris Sharpe
2022-11-23 05:31:46 +0000 UTCOne of the lyrics in the ending song "Get on chu!" is pronounced as ゲロチュー which can be translated as vomit kiss. Pretty fitting considering the episode lol.
Chris
2022-11-23 05:19:43 +0000 UTC@Chris Same. Im very excited to see what happens with her in the arcs to come.
DefaultGoblin
2022-11-23 05:14:02 +0000 UTC@DefaultGoblin Yeah, good point. Still love her tho ❤️
Chris Sharpe
2022-11-23 05:10:36 +0000 UTC@Chris she was drunk too i guess so maybe she just like forgot or something? Not saying what she did is like fine but i dont think the fact hes 16 is like crossing her mind at all while she is in bed with him in the last scene.
DefaultGoblin
2022-11-23 05:08:49 +0000 UTCYuck
Makima
2022-11-23 05:05:38 +0000 UTC@DefaultGobin Well, she does directly ask him about whether he was drinking after he told everyone he was 16.
Chris Sharpe
2022-11-23 05:00:51 +0000 UTCit does get revealed that she doesnt actually know hes 16 im pretty sure.

2022-11-23 04:59:42 +0000 UTCThoughts and prayers for those that were eating during this scene 🙏. Double so if they were eating oatmeal 🙏 🙏.
Chris Sharpe
2022-11-23 04:39:28 +0000 UTCThat drinking story you told was awesome😂😂
Velocity
2022-11-23 04:35:30 +0000 UTC@Javier Yeah, I definitely think it was cause of the barf. I doubt that Himeno would try that, especially due to how drunk she is. She was already drunk even before her drinking competition. Plus Denji’s 16 and likely can’t hold his alcohol well. Denji also probably wanted water because of the stomach acid in his throat from throwing up. At least that’s what I think.
Chris Sharpe
2022-11-23 04:33:20 +0000 UTCAlso, random thing I noticed in the opening, the weird snail that Makima is feeding Denji is actually a snail infected by a specific kind of parasite. I forgot what it’s called, but it inhabits the antennae and makes them pulsate in order to attract predators. The predators then eat the snail and the parasite can spread further. Don’t know what it means, but there is obviously something that can be dissected.
Chris Sharpe
2022-11-23 04:31:12 +0000 UTCYou're right, definitely hungover in that bedroom scene
Alex G
2022-11-23 04:30:22 +0000 UTCIt seems to be implied that Himeno gave him alcohol too? He seems inebriated and is asking for water in bed. Unless he somehow became drunk from the *kiss*. Not a fan of Himeno's behaviour at the end regardless.
Javier
2022-11-23 04:29:21 +0000 UTCi cannot wait for the next arc
DefaultGoblin
2022-11-23 04:25:45 +0000 UTCWatching this episode was the first time I experienced so many simultaneous emotions all at once during THAT scene. And I can safely say this is one of those anime's I don't recommend to just anyone. They need to have a strong stomach. And poor Denji....just when life was looking up too.
KuroNekoMataXIII
2022-11-23 04:23:49 +0000 UTCI can confirm he's ok, I later heard he returned to his country of people who can't hold their alcohol
Alex G
2022-11-23 04:21:37 +0000 UTCThanks! Really enjoyed this horrific episode. It's interesting which episodes end up being the most resonant 😂
Alex G
2022-11-23 04:20:25 +0000 UTCDenji is like a player who doesn’t know baseball going to all the bases. First second base, then first, then straight to home base? I really love Himeno as a character, but the fact that she carried an unconscious minor on her back to her apartment to have sex with him isn’t her finest moment. Although I’ll let it slide since her brain matter probably has the consistency of a watermelon slushee after all of those drinks. Didn’t know that the Kobeni fans were that defensive. But still, Kobeni is cool.
