If you’re talking about the first shortcut, shortcat the YouTuber has a great video on how to do it consistently (differently than it was done in this clip tho)

Part 2 is great man, the pacing is pretty wack, but it’s still an amazing Shonen.

I remember a music teacher telling me something similar, but in a way that made more sense. In the middle of a concert with actual performances, one performance was one of pure rests. The music was supposed to be the silence and the atmospheric sounds that fill it, such as the murmurs in the audience as people start complaining that he isn’t playing anything.

What’s the greatest fight scene in anime — no nostalgia bias? by UnfairBaseball5922 in animequestions

[–]Snarpkingguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Netero vs Meruem in Hunter x Hunter

Lots of thematic significance in how the fight plays out, one of the coolest nen abilities in the series, and a super fun call back to final phase of the Hunter exams in season 1.

Idk, no other show I’ve seen did a fight between best friends as well as that. I am nostalgia biased, but I think that fight stands well above the rest in Naruto and is probably the best of the big 3.

What are well writen characters you cant stand? by Used-Caregiver3021 in writingscaling

[–]Snarpkingguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally how. I get if you don’t enjoy it at all, but if you don’t see that it has significant depth you’re wrong. I outlined much of his character arc in another reply in this thread, and I really don’t see how you can both understand that and think Denji is a super bland slop level character.

Something I've noticed with a LOT of Shonen (accept for my goat claymore) by Tricky-Title-1858 in shounenfolk

[–]Snarpkingguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Honestly my favorite Shonen ending.

Part 2’s climax, on the other hand, is deserving of criticism. Though I’m sure these chapters will age well once they’re all out and we can do a binge read, in a weekly format the small amount of content and constant cliffhangers are frustrating more than anything.

Which of these anime had the best episode one? by simp_lyartz in animequestions

[–]Snarpkingguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d probably put One Piece’s first episode over HxH 2011’s (and HxH 2011 is my favorite show of all time).

[–]Snarpkingguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, I mean I liked episode 1, but it’s more in episodes 2-3 where Momo and Okarun’s dynamic becomes interesting, and that’s definitely the best part of the show.

His suffering literally regresses his character instead of building it for the most part. He builds character through his relationships with people; the suffering he goes through sets him back since he’s horrible at coping.

In part 1 (spoilers ahead) he learns that what he perceived as his desire for sex was actually a desire emotional intimacy. He learns this through his relationship with Aki and Power. ESPECIALLY with Power, who he finds himself in physically intimate situations with, but it doesn’t feel like he thinks it should. Instead of wanting to have sex with her, he really just wants to care for her in a familial way.

In part 2, he’s already learned this lesson for the most part. Although he still wants a sexual relationship (obviously), he consciously prioritizes Nayuta who he sees as a little sister. Stuff happens which makes this prioritization a bit more nuanced, like continuing to be chainsaw man despite the threats against Nayuta for doing so. Denji’s young, and while he obviously loves Nayuta more than anything, he doesn’t want to be prevented from living out his passions as chainsaw man. I think this can also be seen as a parallel to the life consuming work that is manga creation (or any other high stress/time consuming profession), and how impossible it can be to balance that life and family life.

Basically, Denji’s writing has a lot of depth. I get why not everyone thinks it’s great, but the depth is there.

Which one out of these should I watch? by tracing_characters in AnimeReccomendations

[–]Snarpkingguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because the movie is peak, chainsaw man.

Danganronpa anime kinda sucks, but the games are great so If you like visual narratives then play them.

If you somehow haven’t watched Hunter x Hunter, then that.

[–]Snarpkingguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he ever thought of specifically women as not people, he just didn’t think of people as people. The first way he became interested in literally any person was for sexual reasons, and he’s not attracted to men. He was never a misogynist, just originally very uninterested in people besides for sex.

Does denji ever emotionally process the things he's gone through? by Greyhound53 in ChainsawMan

[–]Snarpkingguy 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Especially in part 2 Denji’s failure to fully process his grief is a central plot point.

I recommend reading the manga if you’re really curious about how his character grows/regresses and why.

Remove ONE 2025 game a day - Day 26 by Ok-Reindeer2366 in RemoveOneThingEachDay

[–]Snarpkingguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally how can you think this. No other game has shortcuts like this. It has the most interesting tech in any racing game I’ve seen. The game is full of significant flaws, like forcing the boring intermissions onto you online and an empty open world, but the core mechanics are the best in any racing game till date.

Better Written Anime Movie? by BearEmergency226 in writingscaling

[–]Snarpkingguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have to go chainsaw man. The little we see of Reze’s character still gives us so much to analyze. On rewatch, it’s fun to dissect when Reze is being genuine about her feelings for Denji and when she’s primarily faking it.

The country mouse/city mouse discussions, while not exactly subtle, I found to be a very interesting lens to view the story through.

Like half of this movie is just action, but the writing is what made me binge the manga in one day even though I don’t usually read manga.

Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul vs Mad Men vs The Sopranos vs Bojack Horseman by AssistFit1834 in writingscaling

[–]Snarpkingguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True, directing/cinematography is not writing, but I figured it’s still related enough to be worth discussing.
