the anime is very good but hasn't yet adapted the best bits
oh. this might be the strongest recommendation of all time.
I promise you season 2 of Chainsaw Man is going to floor you. It's at least three times as good as the stuff that's been adapted thus far.
The Reze Arc is going to be a movie that is currently in production. Not sure if they'll do the same thing as Demon Slayer and cut up the movie to be a regular season later.
Speaking of movies and Fujimoto, seems like Look Back is going to have an international release tomorrow.
Yes but also chainsaw man features a lot of "women are grooming this underaged teenage boy but it's okay because he's a boy" shit which is honestly ultra disgusting
I want to push back on this, because while it does feature a lot of "women are grooming this underaged teenage boy" it's very notable that every time this happens it's unequivocally portrayed as fucked up and bad and Denji accumulates more and more trauma around precisely this kind of grooming as the series progresses
spoiler
It's worth noting that the first case, the one that all of Part 1 hinges on, is very clearly meant to be understood (eventually) as some sicko shit and Denji ultimately surrendering his free will to her in a proactive manner is unequivocally his lowest point, and it's clearly because of a combination of her grooming and her machinations to create and then destroy his positive relationships that he offers himself up in such a way.
I think the Reze is supposed to be his own age. Himeno you might be right about, but I think she doesn't actually find out his age until the morning after their aborted fling, at which point she lets it go.
but it's okay because he's a boy"
says who?
No it doesn't? Everyone who abused Denji is very clearly shown to be a terrible person
Some madman posted an abridged double feature movie combining all of season 1 into two films on YouTube. I guess since it's not monetized there's something fucky with why it won't be taken down? There's a few things that were cut so you'll still want to watch full episodes somewhere. But if you don't have a VPN or a treasure map, you can find it for free on YouTube.
Sadly the moo deng devil won't show up in the anime until like season 5. We got a long way to go.
