Power letting Denji touch her boobs only to reveal she's wearing pads is possibly one of the best dumb jokes I've seen. I'm mildly curious about why Power took that particular body and what happened to the previous owner, but it's probably unlikely to come up. Expect My Mom posted:Just started reading it last weekend and really enjoying it! I'm not quite caught up yet and I admit that I have cooled on it a fair bit since the events of Chapter 23 - 30, how that ended didn't set well with me, I find it kinda funny how Power's got the whole cat motif going on when Cats are usually associated with cunning.

I was kinda disappointed Himeno died so quickly. She was pretty cool. We didn't even get the names of most of the squad before they died!

I mean 100% of the women who have said they like Denji want something from him even before that.  I hope Reze sticks around though, she seems cool. It also occured to me that Himeno having sold 'everything' means she's either in hell or at the very least going to be a meat puppet for the ghost devil.

dogsicle posted:i was a fire punch fan so seeing fujimoto immediately jump into a new series that is both more accessible and successful has been great. already crossing fingers for this to get a good animated adaptation Out of curiosity, what'd you like about Fire Punch? It's probably one of my least favorite manga that I actually completed. e: For the record, I just didn't find any of the characters all that interesting or relatable. I didn't like the ending either. It just seemed kind of pointless. I think the main reason I like CSM more than FP is just that Agni is incredibly boring and his support cast isn't interesting enough to make up for that. Also, everything about Agni having a pseudo incestuous relationship with a retarded Judah was kind of hosed up, even for me. Cuntellectual fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Oct 27, 2019 |

Overall fire punch bothers me because it's pretty close to being something I'd like but there's something I can't quite put my finger on that doesn't sit well with me about it. There were parts I found funny, but overall maybe it was just too dark? Compared to some of the other really dark-tone things I've liked it's not as funny as Lisa, way more drawn out than Devilman, and the characters don't really deserve what happens to them as much as in Drakengard. Maybe it's something like that. Like I said, not quite sure what it is, but there's just something about it. Also about Judah, I thought she was still brain damaged enough to basically be going off of what Agni told her until she returned to San and Neneto's village even if she was past the point where she could only repeat what other people said to her and didn't need to be constantly supervised. On Chainsawman, the future devil said to Aki he's not going to live his full two years and that his death would be something the future devil would find hilarious, presumably meaning it's pretty unpleasent. I wonder if he's going to find out Makima had some idea of the attack happening and didn't bother to warn them or anything (which directly lead to Himeno dying) and snap.

dogsicle posted:i don't have the official TL unfortunately but the FA one has Judah, before the village stuff, kiss Agni and then say "We're not actually siblings, are we? I'd more or less figured it out. After all, there's no way I wouldn't be able to remember a brother I loved so much." Yeah, I didn't really get that impression so I guess it's at least a bit better if Judah was at least functional. Even if he definitely did have her dressing up in fetish outfits before, that's... Not as bad? dogsicle posted:
Not sure if you're familiar with the game at all, but I remember one analysis of LISA the Painful saying how the point of the story wasn't that Brad was a good person but that he did have the potential to do better, and for all the drug or trauma induced violence he couldn't help himself from comitting, he managed to make some people's lives marginally better or at least tried to. I think that point kind of holds true with Agni too. He definitely does a lot of pretty horrible things, but he manages to achieve some good. I'd probably have been happier with it if the story ended with Agni at the factory instead of... Whatever the hell happened with San at the end. Or the very ending possibly implying Judah really WAS Luna in the movie theatre afterlife? I'm bad at reading comprehension, it was way too confusing for me.

On one hand, Power bursting into the room right when she did was hilarious. On the other, the thing with Reze is starting to make me worry this is going to turn into Fire Punch and just be all grim and make me stop caring.

Phimose Knight posted:I dunno. Denji has one Agni-like introspective moment of "am I incapable of feeling sadness because of my devil heart?", and he IMMEDIATELY pivots away with "ahh gently caress that philosophical poo poo, it's depressing". Then he eats a flower. Eh, just because Denji doesn't care doesn't mean it can't be bleak. None of the main cast of Drakengard gives a poo poo and that game is bleak as hell.

Something else I thought about : If Reze was known to be a Russian asset, and the Russians were in some kind of contact with Bomb Devil, who was itself working with the Gun Devil, wouldn't it have made more sense to try and wring her for information before offing her? Unless Makima knows something we don't (almost certainly) and/or has some kind of ulterior motive (which is looking more and more likely). Darth TNT posted:I'm just happy Power is back, the genius dynamic duo has been reunited! Moreso than Denji I feel like Power (and Beam and Violence Devil) are what will keep the series from getting too dark, and if they die it's going straight fire punch grimdark, regardless of Denji.

HenryEx posted:The author really has a thing for, i dunno, cinematic storytelling. It's been very apparent in Fire Punch too, you could see him apply some of the well known tricks like that, both visually and narratively. I'm still sorta convinced that the camera boy was a big part in Fire Punch because he's a big nerd for that kinda storytelling. I feel like the one dude in Fire Punch being a massive movie nerd was him writing what he knows. chiasaur11 posted:The titles are parallels too. Thinking about it, he wasn't that sad when Himeno died, but like... He barely even knew her. Putting aside time nonsense in the hotel he'd known her for what, a few days? And she tried to kill him at least once in that period. Then threw up in his mouth. Obviously he's not going to be too upset. It's not even as if he particularly likes Aki, who was pretty much destroyed emotionally, to be upset on his behalf. Reze on the other hand, he might take as an actual loss because he connected with her. Even if it was only a short period, he clearly felt a lot more attached to her than Himeno. Not to mention Makima (well, Angel) killed her as opposed to someone that was already an enemy. That makes it more of a betrayal.

It's also partially how much it's in the public consciousness I think, right? Ask people what they're scared of and very few would think to say violence, I bet.
