2022-11-16 00:25:01 +0000 UTCThe minutia isn’t relevant right now. Show don’t tell, that means something. The information has more impact in the moment where it’s most relevant, but the Gun Devil hasn’t even been revealed yet. It’s unnecessary, which is why it was cut. It’ll be necessary later, so thry basically just spoiled it for you, I guess. I’m not saying you’re wrong or dumb for doing it like that, but if that’s the genera behavior and take on the situation, I need some fucking payback for how many people shit on me for spoiling small ass, unnecessary details like that or something.

2022-11-15 22:49:03 +0000 UTC“It’s a metaphor for life, you see. Her bosom is the start of the adventure,” “I love that such a profound concept was brought out by breasts,” “A man needs purpose, and purpose in many cases, is a more divine thing than can be brought about by any sort of circumstance,” “Denji’s climbing women. Climbing Mount Boob,” “I’m not sure this is appropriate workplace behavior, but she’s good at motivating her employees,” “I hope it [Gun Devil] wears an American flag and is red, white and blue. And looks like an eagle,” “For some reason, Makima doesn’t seem like the most trustworthy individual,” “Just don’t tell HR,” “I think I need to know where this kind of thing exists, where this kind of sexy boss exists because I need to…protest it,” “The most powerful demon in anime should be having a good time,” “Yeah this is sufficiently bizarre as usual,” “If you’re not growing, you’re dying,”

2022-11-15 05:23:00 +0000 UTCDamn this show FUCKING SLAPS. The animation man... so so good. And I'm not even talking about the action scenes. Honestly the backrounds and framing during all the normal slice of life scenes just looks unreal. Shits so artistic, I know that sounds stupid when we are watching art, but you can tell the animators here are trying to be very artsy and true to their image instead of trying to appeal to the masses or make it easily consumable for everyone. Lots of experimental techniques and little one-shots that are so well done.

2022-11-15 00:07:54 +0000 UTCEnding had me wondering if the horse was some representation of the Gun Demon. I don't know why, but the idea that Demons are usually visually messed up and terrifying, but the Gun Demon being ultra powerful for some reason gives it a refined appearance sounds really neat to me. Guess we'll know soon enough.

2022-11-13 13:08:03 +0000 UTCWhat’s even more mind blowing to me is that the gun devil struck fuckin INDIA and only managed 30k? Bruh how lol I’m assuming that maybe India doesn’t have the same population in this world as reality or something like that
Jake White
2022-11-11 16:28:54 +0000 UTCAs an anime only, I’m thoroughly pleased that people gave us an explanation for that 🤷♂️ Even if the anime does circle back around to expand on it later, I’d much rather have that information now to clear up any confusion or misconceptions that might arise because of that info being withheld. Like, I was asking my friend if Aki was American or something because I was so thrown off by how that scene was handled with no background details lol. I’d rather not have those sort of misconceptions floating around in the back of my mind and wasting my time lol

2022-11-11 16:24:55 +0000 UTCHehe doors

2022-11-11 07:03:29 +0000 UTCThat definitely opens a lot of doors. The idea that, since devils are empowered by fear, news censorship is used to prevent this. I’m a manga reader, but am still interested if series really will go into that (as the series isn’t over yet and there is still much for the author to write).

2022-11-11 05:08:21 +0000 UTCSuper duper healthy! :)
Makima
2022-11-11 05:07:23 +0000 UTCI did say Chainsaw Man would touch on some more interesting topics and the issues of gun violence, terrorism and not only that but human created evils are just some of what it touches on. The gun devil, one of the most dangerous devils representing almost an existential threat, is born from a terrorist attack in addition to the already existing fear of guns and mass news coverage I think you'll find Chainsaw Man is performing a kind of juggling act between different ideas pretty consistently
Nick
2022-11-11 05:00:09 +0000 UTC@ODIS I believe it's not. If this is a spoiler someone let me know, but I think it's just one of those unique CSM world details like how they mentioned the soviet union is still around and CSM takes place in 1997 so the soviet union would ordinarily be collapsed
Nick
2022-11-11 04:42:40 +0000 UTCIs Hawaii not part of USA in this world?

2022-11-10 21:31:44 +0000 UTC@Jake White yep that's what I meant

2022-11-10 20:58:22 +0000 UTC@chris incestuous is also used when speaking about the overly interconnected relationships in another tightly associated group. Aka “here at this job we’re a family” so when multiple coworkers hook up, the term ‘incestuous’ fits appropriately lol
Jake White
2022-11-10 19:59:10 +0000 UTCnah nah it seems perfectly healthy to me
DefaultGoblin
2022-11-10 18:23:17 +0000 UTCGenuinely frightening how quickly Makima decided take advantage of Denji's vulnerability to wrap him around her finger for good
Jon
2022-11-10 16:05:05 +0000 UTCMakima got this man wrapped around her finger
Amit
2022-11-10 15:22:26 +0000 UTCDon’t get why people feel the need to go into detail about the Gun Devil feats and numbers. That shit was too serious to be overlooked for the anime, so the anime will probably do it for the full Gun Devil reveal. Calm down, and stop spoiling.
AlexXis Amadeus
2022-11-10 14:35:11 +0000 UTCI’m just gonna hope you are using the word incestuous wrong, since it means family members hooking up.
Chris Sharpe
2022-11-10 14:29:33 +0000 UTC@Bighead Yeah, if the whole dog schtick didn’t give it away, it’s not supposed to be healthy.
Chris Sharpe
2022-11-10 14:27:18 +0000 UTCNot to be that person, but I do hope they don't romanticize or glamorize their relationship moving forward. So far I find Makima's character really interesting. It's very rarely that I've seen charmingly manipulative characters portrayed as such without over exaggeration or through rose colored lenses. It'll be fascinating to see her relationship with Denji progress as long as it's self aware, but from the high praise for the manga I'm sure it won't be disappointing.
Bighead
2022-11-10 14:12:08 +0000 UTCSomeone answer the door it looks like the plot just arrived. In all seriousness though Makima is by far my favorite character in Chainsaw Man yet, the layers that you can see in all her actions ESPECIALLY on a rewatch/reread are just incredible.

2022-11-10 14:05:26 +0000 UTCSomething they cut from the anime was the list of what countries the Gun Devil attacked in how much time, with the list of fatalities: Japan: 26 seconds, casualty: 57,912 USA: 124 seconds, casualty: 548,012 China: 37 seconds, casualty: 316,932 Soviet Union: 210 seconds, casualty: 155,302 Canada: 7 seconds, casualty: 8,481 Mexico: 2 seconds, casualty: 6,088 India: 15 seconds, casualty: 29,950 Hawaii: 0.4 seconds, casualty: 780

2022-11-10 13:57:27 +0000 UTCAki showed a lot of restraint not murdering them.
Chris Sharpe
2022-11-10 13:56:07 +0000 UTC5:33 Damn, Makima so good she almost took this man’s soul. That aside, there was a very twisted element to that scene. Denji is 16 and Makima is 23. Denji was terrified during that scene, just when you thought he might be heading towards a better motivation, that happens. The show doesn’t necessarily have regular fanservice, but certainly doesn’t stray from the kind eroticism from a more mature show, which can sometimes seem uncomfortable with what we are used to in shonen.
Chris Sharpe
2022-11-10 13:53:56 +0000 UTCManga readers didn’t know for a long time as well until the author finally revealed the prank after this episode

2022-11-10 13:47:43 +0000 UTCEeek! That's not my type of humor, but the more you know, I guess
Bighead
2022-11-10 13:34:07 +0000 UTCThe prank was putting poop on aki's nose while he was asleep. Was revealed by the author in a tweet or interview. Whose poop was not specified.

2022-11-10 12:52:50 +0000 UTC'what's with this workplace' idk a lot of places I worked at were a bit incestious. People are too busy with work and they end up hooking up with the people they see most on a daily basis
bondbond53
2022-11-10 10:55:14 +0000 UTCI can't wait to see what Makima can do, or what devil she's made a contract with. She is incredibly intimidating! I liked the ending of this one, and I feel like it's showing similar scenes, but with different optical illusions. Could be a hint as to what's going on with this hotel maybe? I dunno, but that's my theory. Also really keeping my fingers crossed that the gun devil is exactly as you described!
