This episode was awesome. I never thought Power girl or two red horn girl was this crazy hot and good. As for Denji and Hayakwa. Denji went for Fatality hit right there! XD loved that.

Denji is cool. He just wants to live a simple life and his only desire is to get laid. What a humble guy.

Never read the Manga, so I really don't know what to expect. But I REALLY love the art style.

4/5

This was a good episode. MAPPA is nailing the pacing and the authenticity of the manga quite tidily. Some key moments were a bit drab but most of them got their point across. The animation was beautiful and fluid. Makima just owns whatever scene she's in, they made her extra spicy and enigmatic. Aki's VA was decent but Power's VA is just perfection. I literally got a little giddy by her brief performance and am craving for more

Lots of varied angles and camera shots used in this episode too retaining that cinematic vibe from the first episode. The Gustave Dore painting in Makima's office was a nice touch too. Subtle but speaks volumes for her character in the storyline. More painting references to follow, so I'm very excited. They actually didn't show Aki's face like in the manga when he told Denji that Makima indeed saved him too. Such an insignificant detail but uhhh....it hits hard if you truly know the context. The devil really is in the detail, isn't it? They cut out the muscle devil scene which as a manga reader, is a bit of disappointing but you CAN'T HAVE EVERYTHING!! They atleast kept Denji's dialogues, so I'm content with it. Some new soundtracks were incorporated but nothing that got me too excited. There were many brief snippets that blended well enough with their respective scenes. I also liked how Power's glorious laugh at the end seamlessly transitioned to the ending. Love to see it

All in All, a great follow up to the premiere. No thumping action or thrill but just meeting new characters and getting to know the protagonist with a bit of quirky & crass comedy. The harsh tone shift is noticeable but Fujimoto's innate ability to perfectly execute tone shifts is something to behold and I'm personally very excited for his chaotic storytelling to completely take off in coming episodes and bewilder anime onlys

Great adaptation so far. Skipped the muscle devil part but added some extra content so I don't really mind.

@Dukino

I read that Fujimoto is a bit of a masohist and it's not hard to imagine that his kinky side flowed into Denji. As a result the character became a self-insert for incels xD

Not sure how to feel about the removal of the Muscle Devil portion, since it clearly established Denji's empathy towards Devils and how he views their relationship with humans.


I think the part where Aki scolded him conveyed that well enough

Makima's voice is growing on me. It's sweet but sounds a bit dishonest. The anime's clearly painting her as some sort of sociopath, lying and manipulating to take advantage of an unfortunate guy like Denji.

I'm so glad to finally see the best character in the show, Aki animated. I've been waiting to see him animated for so long.


Aki is also my favourite character in the series and I just love his storyline. Overall I would say Aki and Makima are probably the best written characters in the manga so I'm looking forward to see it all animated.

The second episode was sooooo good, I'm so happy! It was super funny and Power, can't believe how perfect she is. Her voice, appereance, behaviour...everything is just perfect! And what about Aki? It's like he just came out from the manga pages. Super hype for the third episode!

Denji sold his organs to paid his debt but he's not prostitute himself, why? That would solve two problems in one step, get money and get laid.

Muito bom o capitulo, quando mostra que todos temos que ter algum objetivo ou foco na nossa vida e que muitas atitudes certas vezes vão nos chamar de loucos, mas todo sacrifício vale a pena.

Today's episode was a character introduction with a beautiful mature girl, a boy and his pain in the balls and just POWEERR!!!!! Denji fulfilling his normal dreams while discovering BIG NEW DREAMS.
An episode without much movement but very satisfying.
I just LOVE her SO MUCH man, no wonder she's been in my top 10 favorite characters for years! Power!

I was a little worried about the little cut he got at the beginning where Makima asked Denji to save a little girl from the muscle demon while her udon was getting cold, I watched both episodes but couldn't find that part. It was a small cut, it doesn't affect the story much. But I'm worried about making more cuts in the work.

- remember when they leaked that zutomayo would be doing the opening theme and everyone got pissy lmaooooo
- they cut the muscle devil fight, but whatever I guess. If I were a mappa Animator, i would be happy to see my family that week.
- kinda makes for some plotholes. Why is the udon soggy if they just got it? Why would Denji think Makima is a bad person? Also the muscle devil fight makes Denji feel like he has sunk costs in the public safety division already.
- Makima is very mommy in this episode 😍
- nice CBT torture in this episode. Bike bell sound effects lmaooooo
- introduction to Aki and Power, babey!!!!
- are they animating every ending theme or not?????? Who knows.

Now that we've had a little more of Makima, bloody hell her voice doesn't match at all. Why a teen or a childs voice? Such disappointment but not surprised, the manga was no good anyways.

The manga is amazing so how are they adapting it so poorly. Part of the reason the manga is so well done is it’s high speed pacing. Expressive panels that you were done reading in a couple seconds are stretched out to half a minute with cheap drama. Backgrounds and scenes that should have more light and vibrance(a key part of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s art) are mellow and greyed. I don’t particularly mind them getting rid of extra scenes that don’t really matter, but what got me is them giving Denji little bits of extra dialogue to make him seem more thoughtful and emotional when that’s the opposite of how he was written. I don’t think the Mappa directors really gave any thought to the source material which is understandable since everyone working on the project is forced to do hundred hour work weeks on multiple projects, making it hard to put any care into one.
TFW Shihei Lin, Fujimoto and multiple mangaka praise an adaptation but YuriSwag on MAL says it’s terrible and doesn’t respect the manga. Laughs.

They've skipped the part with the muscle devil but, it's not a big deal at all. So no worries IG.
Finally introduced Power with the best VA ever. It fits her energetic personality. The iconic "I wanna touch her boobs" scene got animated and gah damn.. i feel you.
Also Zutomayo ED was CRAZILY GOOD.

I dig that they're putting emphasis on wholesome moments for a cozier vibe. To achieve that it requires extending single panels, that's how adapting a manga works. Nothing wrong with that, quite the opposite, it's desirable if the anime adds another dimension. Denji lowkey cute, especially when he said" that's me" lol
