    So the past two weeks, Chainsaw Man has taken a turn for the LSD-induced FUCKING WEIRD.

    Chainsaw is absolute madness right now.
    I saw it pointed out that when everyone's arms are thrown into the air, it spells out MAKIMA.

    Also, using the arms to panel the reaction shots on the next page was creepy AF.

    I actually conceptually like Big Mom the most out of the emperors in One Piece. Her deal is by far the most creative from what I've seen. Her arc was very ehhhhhhhhhhh though.

    I dont think she has an arc. Whole cake is more about her Kids and how she should treat them better but doesn't. Big Mom is just that rich old lady that says she's all about equality but actually shes a cuthroat monster that doesnt actually get what real equality is.

    Big Mom is kind of odd as a One Piece villain because the worst things she does, she doesn't actually seem to be conscious or aware of. So the whole "teach this trash person a lesson" part doesn't come into play as much. It's more like punching out a hurricane.

    she rips out peoples souls and puts them in inanimate objects

    Kemono Friends managed to get a second season, and that game was *dead*. Sometimes the anime becomes popular enough to fund itself, I guess.

    Kemono Friends was a game? It does kind of feel like a gacha spinoff anime now that you mention it, but I was under the vague impression it was original.

    It was based on a dead mobile game, hence the weird postapocalyptic vibe.

    dang, that explanation for the weird post-apocalypse vibe of the park actually makes me like it even more

    how'd they even get funding to make the anime with the game already dead?
    or I guess if they couldn't get proper funding that would explain why it looks like it does, huh

    You pay lifespan as taxes in her territory and then she makes that life into soldiers.

    Also her uh childhood indiscretions.

    I dont think Oda wants to reform her.

    The childhood things were apparently done under a mental blackout. Waking up and discovering all her friends were just "gone" then warped her view of things. It's... troubling.

    Big Mom's got a plenty tragic backstory,
    an unfortunate conflux of her extremely childish personality, super strength and super appetite, uncontrollable fugue states when experiencing extreme emotions, being taken advantage of by bad people, and a subconscious confusion of her desire for food and her desire for love leading her to eat her entire family while tripping balls because of how happy she was on her birthday.

    I don't know if she'll ever be redeemed but the plot hooks of a redemption arc are there.

    It was set up in a very obvious way but the scene wasn't explicitly shown so there might be a chance for an extreme Oda twist down the road?

    Another point of messed up backstory is the fact that her mother figure was a slaver who was planning to sell her.

    There might also be a chance of Luffy or someone punching Big Mom so hard that she does that Cell thing in dragon ball

    Trying to watch golden time but man it’s just not grabbing me at all. I’ve forced myself to the 10th episode but it’s a struggle every time.

    I feel like I should like it, but just not hitting for whatever reason.

    interesting how they changed the story up from the mobile game for this stopping point though, certainly feels much more bleak

    Are they considering a season 2 or are we all supposed to go whale on the gacha game to see what happens next? That bit at the end sure seemed like a "next time on..." more than a "this is over now, suckers!" type end plate.

    The dinosaur fight was fine in the technical sense, wasn't too filler-y, and they kept it all to one episode which was very restrained of them. I think the suit is kind of lame compared to his usual fighting style though, and it was a little too irrelevant to the main plot for me to care that much about it. Didn't feel like there were any stakes, was mostly just to put Sanji over and show off his powerups, which is fine, but doesn't appeal to me.

    Which reminds me that I was really hoping Sanji would fight one of his brothers in the whole cake arc and establish that he already eclipses the raid suits with just his natural abilities and haki training.

    they kinda do? like he's hamstrung by the wristbands but he at the very least holds his own

    yeah, I wanted them to really show it though, they left it sort of ambiguous

    Like, if it's a service that is updating and rescanning old anime I would definitely subscribe.

    Gundam has been remastered and released on Blu-Ray already.

    Also I see this new streaming service lasting a year, tops.
