I know I don't have the patience of getting every single Pokemon ever, so much respect for those who get all 1000+.


Or no respect get a life.

In my defense, I completed the Pokedex during the lockdowns. The government prohibited me from getting a life

 

[KingofPhantoms]

So uh, what exactly is Chainsaw Man like as a show?

It seems extremely popular around here and in general, but I'm not sure if the show is my speed or not.

Bleach, but good.






Do you like a show that feels super rebellious while also having some kickass but gory fightscenes? That's Chainsaw Man.

In my offense... I completed the SwSh dex during the lockdowns too.

 

[Lamperouge]

I doubt that I'll ever be able to complete the PokeDex in any Pokemon game. My interest tends to fizzle away pretty quick and I end up just rushing through the main story.

Speaking of which, BDSP is kind of losing me now and I'm only on the third Gym. I don't know if it's just a case of this particular game not hitting the right notes or if Pokemon as a whole just isn't for me anymore, but yeah.

The manga is a fun romp but the pacing is all over the place.

Also ignore the fanbase if you can

Probably a mixture of both.


BDSP made me also hate Pokemon(Temporarily).

First, give Pokemon a rest for a bit. Then start up Violet. The first 20 minutes is a bit of a slog but once the game lets you go it gets pretty fun.

If you play Violet for a while and you still aren't feeling it...you probably just don't like the pocket mans.

Honestly, the pacing is kinda why I like it?


It's breakneck ****ing fast but it kinda avoids the issues a lot of manga have where just, there's these long stretches of nothing happening.


Like, the bomb devil fight was just NON STOP SPEED and like, whoa.

It may be a mixture of both, BDSP was exhausting to get through in my experience.

And tbh I lowkey was thinking I lost my love for the series too, SwSh never clicked with me and BDSP was just a slog (especially the endgame dungeons, I hated everything from Coronet to the Elite 4).

And then I played Legends and suddenly I love Pokemon again.

Better question.


What are some anime you've watched recently, and what's your highest bar for violent anime? That'll be easier to see if you'd get into Chainsaw Man or not.

To answer the first question, while I started Soul Eater years ago but never finished it and occasionally tune in for the Pokemon anime, Unlimited Blade Works is pretty much the only anime I've watched in the past year or two lol. I haven't even watched many, if any more than that as anime's just not one of my favorite mediums.

I can handle violence in anime if it's comparable to or not too much more severe than that of UBW.

Don't watch Chainsaw Man then. It's pretty gory

 

[Z25]

Speaking of chainsaw man, giving my limited knowledge of the manga and what the central themes are….

This movie about to be depressing as hell if I’m right. But we will see I suppose.

No you're right.

I only wish the Chainsaw Man fandom wasn't so... Reddit.

There's so much to talk about that isn't Kobeni or Makima.

The Looney Tunes wiki, apparently, has recorded all the times Yosemite Sam "Acts nonchalant"... just... what is this wiki?

I miss her

Honestly the first season, up until the Gun & Control arc (probably like, in Season 4?), is a goldmine for redditors because the comedy mainly focuses on being horny or filthy.

It is still horny and filthy, but now with layers of subtle philosophical nuance.

That moment when you're mentally conceptualizing a new Bugs Bunny platformer and you realize you can think of good mechanics and puzzles uzing Big ****ing Chungus.

Denji went from horny and filthy, to horny, lonely, and incredibly depressed.

That's not like me at all. Not relatable.

Wait until she finds the wiki dedicated to scary logos.

Or Scary Godmother.

Soon she'll be making Big Chungus memes on Reddit in 2024.

Then she takes over the world with Reddit Gold.

Well, at the same time, I can also handle the gore levels of stuff like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. Also Doom, albeit that one arguably blends a realistic and cartoony aesthetic with the shading the later 3D games use.

Is Chainsaw Man's gore comparable to any of those?

There's a scene in chapter like, 15 or so where the MC jumps down into a literal flesh pit and spends like, a good 3 days just chainsawing away and sustaining himself on its blood if that answers anything.

But that takes two pages, though, they skip past the three days.

But everything done by Gun Devil is another story.

Part 2's protagonist has her story start off by getting her face clawed off and some of the devil designs tend to get pretty crazy, like one using it's own intenstines as a scarf. I think the story is worth giving a read moreso than a watch as they absolutely butchered one really important scene by changing how a character reacts to certain information but beyond that I'd say the anime's pretty solid despite the other changes. If you feel it's too much and want to stop watching, by no means should you feel bad about it

Chainsaw Man Chapter 59 is still unavailable on official WSJ/Viz apps because of a two-page nudist spread with one of the side characters and her (…right?) harem of side hoes.

I skipped the chapter, but the chapter itself was within the middle of a huge fight against Santa Claus with almost every character involved. If you can’t access the chapter online, which I actually couldn’t when I went to Viz’s website as instructed, you’re left wondering how a fight against one became a fight against nine, excluding the first one. **** was not cash money.

I’m not even hiding the context, it sounds ridiculous enough. That should make someone want to read it more, I say.

My dumb ass saw someone bring up the "DK trilogy" and instantly thought Donkey Kong trilogy when it was actually about The Dark Knight
