Spoiler:

Kitana man being a low-key Asa Mitaka fan fan, and Asa random dropping a poetry book slayed me.

Then another Public Safety officer running away and Yoru asking if they're all this cowardly got me again. Plus, now I'm curious who he went to get because there are a few interesting options. Quanxi, Kishibe...Reze

I know it's jokes now. But I swear Yoru's tryna get on Kitana man's good side to make him one of her weapons. If he admits he's her biggest fan, it's over.

Spoiler:

The last two chapters have been completely unhinged. Fami is absolutely useless

Yoru is definitely baiting Katana Man to make him her next weapon.

Fujimoto is really good at shifting tones. Denji is probably dissected right now behind the scenes in one of the darkest moments in the entire series while the audience is being entertained by Asa, Yoru and Fami's hijinks. I fully expect that when they find Denji, it's not gonna be good.

I keep thinking back to the promotional illustration Fujimoto made of Asa holding Chainsaw Man's head that made the rounds before Part 2 started. I think we're getting close to that moment.

In the dismal world where humans live together with hybrids everything becomes more distorted day by day. While everyone is used to living with the hybrids, they are still strange creatures, a borderline between humans and other animals. Hybrids introduce humans to even stranger concepts which allows them to use their potential to its fullest. Evas is a teenager who happens to work as an assassin for an agency established by the government to exterminate street gangs. However, after an incident between them and his friend, Evas and his partner Alissa swear to destroy the agency and become free from it. Everything gets even more complicated when Evas becomes the target of another big underground organization.

Spoiler:

The character designs are really good. The powers are really unique, and that lends itself to some really fun action sequences when powers collide.

Spoiler:

There are animal-human hybrids, which mostly look like characters from Beastars. But some have really fun designs. Herry, right here, is my favorite.

On to Invincible! Might go back to S1 and just binge that...I dunno how you guys can keep track of these shows and what happens. I totally forgot everything that happened in S1.

It's really good from start to finish. Might honestly have one of the best conclusions to any manga/anime

Just a shame the adaptation went off the rails in season 2, it really deserves a good anime counterpart.

What was done to The Promised Neverland was criminal. I put it up there with Tokyo Ghoul as one of the most botched anime productions I've ever seen.

I feel like the final act of the manga had some flaws, but overall it was a solid series. Isabella was terrifying

I thought it felt a bit rushed, but I liked the conclusion regardless

It definitely feels like a series you can go back and reread, cause it was all set up well, like the writer had a plan on where to go from the start and kept to it. It's up there with Demon Slayer for series that lasted just as long as they needed to and didn't pad itself out, like there's no major retcons or anything you see with long running series

I haven't seen season 2, I just know it sucks, which is a shame cause you really only need like 3 or 4 seasons at a good pace, it's really not that long of a series.

Spoiler:

"Chainsaw Man Puzzle"

Fujimoto is a sick dude if this means what i think it means

Spoiler:

"Shove it up his ass!! His ass!!" absolutely killed me

Asa discovers Denji's secret in the worst way possible.

And now Quanxi is there to kill them all. Holy f*ck

Spoiler:

Yoru, Kitana man, and Nail vs Quanxi while the others try to put Denji back together makes sense. Those three aren't strong enough to beat Quanxi, but they might be able to last long enough for the goof troop to pull Denji's cord.

P.S. I also get a kick outta everyone calling Asa Mitaka by her full name. It makes me chuckle every time.

Spoiler:

Seeing that the only person who could stop Quanxi was Makima, i think Katana, Nail and Yoru/Asa are in serious trouble

But yeah this was well done. What happened to Denji is horrifying and yet Katana Man being a complete ass hole makes you not even take it seriously. I'm glad he just wasn't a one and done character
