You can also just wear a blazer if you don’t want to go full Makima. A friend of mine did that and I liked it. So I copied it. But alas I’ve grown bigger-boned since I stopped cycling for a while after my car-accident. So my Soon I’ll crush my skeleton down to a reasonable size, and my blazer will fit once more.
Side note, but what do you make of Chainsaw Man 2? I’m pretty disappointed by it all round, but you notice unusual features of the world relative to me, so maybe you see something good in it that I don’t.
Just a blazer is a more conventional solution to this problem. Personally, I like how unified it looks to use a matching fabric for blazer and pants.
What do you mean Chainsaw Man 2? Do you mean Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc? I’ve only watched the regular anime season, plus read the English translation of the manga. I’m loving Asa Mitaka’s story.
I think what makes Chainsaw Man great is that the characters are dangerous, insane, and relatable. What really sold me on Asa Mitaka’s story was Asa’s conversation with Yuko about the murder. Asa’s story has strengths and weaknesses compared to Denji’s. I much prefer that over a retread of the original Chainsaw Man story.
I feel the whole aquarium arc was genius, especially the ending. But to understand it on all the different levels requires knowing that the beginning of the aquarium date, where Asa lectures about fish, is a riff on the aquarium date scene from Rent-A-Girlfriend.
Asa’s story started fairly strong, and I enjoyed the first 10 or so chapters. But as Asa was phased out of the story, and it focused more on Denji, I felt it got worse. There were still a few good moments, but it’s kinda spoilt the rest of the story, and even Chainsaw Man for me. Denji feels like a caricature of himself. Hm, writing this, I realize that it isn’t that I dislike most of the components of the story. It’s really just Denji.
EDIT: Anyway, thanks for prompting me to reflect on my current opinion of Asa Mitaka’s story, or CSM 2 as I think of it. I don’t think I ever intended that to wind up as my cached-opinion. So it goes.
Denji is indeed a caricature of himself, both diagetically and metaphorically. I believe this is a deliberate metatextual self-reference to how popular Chainsaw Man has gotten in the real world.
