I've been rewatching the original run of Bleach. Just gotten to Hueco Mundo now. It's been excellent up to now. The monster of the week stuff was a good way of introducing the rest of the cast. The Rukia rescue itself was brilliant. Best they've ever portrayed Ichigo.
Dipped a bit with the Vizard stuff, which was a good idea, but fucked up their power scaling entirely.
The soundtrack is still incredible. I've issues with the pacing of the anime and Kubo's writing post Soul Society. But the music is a huge selling point.

The fanscans for the new JJK chapter have 6 pages of Translation Notes at the end. The viz translation on Sunday is going to be horrible
I've never had a problem following JJK, but what in the hell is with the translation, this chapter? Feels like I'm missing hella context.

A couple weeks ago the viz release said Gojo could use curse spirit manipulation

Good looks.
Now that I get it, damn. Yuki is an absolute monster.
By Lupercal Go To PostChainsaw Man going hype overload this episode.Wasn't a big fan of today's episode(as an adaptation I guess) lol but it's definitely hype.
By s y Go To PostWasn't a big fan of today's episode(as an adaptation I guess) lol but it's definitely hype.As an adaptation the entire anime has been a completely different vibe from the manga.
I think it's a lot less expressive than the manga. Especially the characters.
The director's stated goal was to make it more like a live action show and as such, toned down a lot of the eccentricity of the manga.
Basically feel the same as I did from a few episodes ago
Like, it's still obviously a very well made show but can't help but feel a little disappointed in the direction. JJK season 2 is next year anyways, hope they don't bitch it.
I also find it wild that Denji vs the leech devil was such a throwaway fight in the manga but its been by far the best fight in the anime.
The CGI is ugly as sin but its perplexing that the bat, leech and eternity devil were entirely 2d but things like the snake, curse or ghost devils which appear for 2 seconds get ugly CGI models.

By s y Go To PostThoughts on the CSM anime so far
I think by itself the anime is good, as an adaptation I can't help but feel that it somewhat fails to capture the energy and expression of the manga.
I have qualms about the action direction as well but the biggest issue for me is that the production seems so focused on keeping the characters on model all the time and combined with the more grounded designs…the silly, crude and bombastic expressions in the manga don't translate. I think this also extends to the voice direction and comedic timing.
Still really enjoying it either way. I'm always happy when an adaption doesn't copy the manga 1:1 but I'd be lying if I said the 3rd ED didn't capture the spirit of the work more than anything from the show.

Mob Psycho:
Oh…oh no.
This is the best.
edit:
I think Chainsaw Man is at it's best when they're flexing their cinematic knowledge and letting characters do everything, but fight. The minute the fantastical shit starts, is when I think something is missing. Biggest example for me, is the setup for the curse devil, vs the pay-off and how it looked. Even if I like it, I feel like they could loosen up just a little bit (for the action), while keeping to their goal for direction of the adaptation.

By EldritchTrapStar Go To Postedit:Agreed. If they're gonna try to ground things more, at least add shit to make it interesting like that leech devil fight.

I like this fan animation's take on the curse devil a lot, having the countdown appear in the shadows was an inspired choice to try and match the cool paneling Fuji did in the manga.
The show plays everything so straight I'm interested to see how they try to adapt the later, off the wall shit and comedy that happens.
By Yurtlicious Go To PostNot big on CSM's main antagonist. Shades of boring AizenWho do you think is the main antagonist?
By Lunatic Go To PostWho do you think is the main antagonist?Makima ?
By Yurtlicious Go To PostMakima ?I wouldn't even say makima is the main antagonist. The author rarely has one main big baddy throughout the story. They normally just focus on the protagonist.
They're def the main antagonist lol. Maybe not the focal point of every arc but the over arching one.
Speaking of CSM, to my earlier point, it is funny to see the Bocchi(which is just as well animated) producer say the opposite of CSM's producer about letting their creatives go wild

By domino Go To Postblue lock prop is so up rn lol
This Dandadan arc is insane btw.
So impressive that this is a weekly release, with this level of artwork. I wonder if it'll be moved over to the main magazine, unlike other Jump+ hits(SxF, Kaiju,), it's never missed a week. The only times it's been on break, Tatsu releases a random, 40+ page oneshot lol. He actually used to be one of Fujimoto(CSM)'s assistants. It explains why CSM Part II's art is so inconsistent.

Samurai Champloo is still the GOAT
