17-26

Six studios and seven directors adapt the early works of Tatsuki Fujimoto, the mastermind behind “Chainsaw Man,” into an anime anthology. Each episode is an anime adaptation of a short story he drew from ages seventeen to twenty-six, including the first manga he ever submitted for competition. Watch as vivid tales of young love, chaos, madness, and the bonds between people unfold in each episode.

We’re watching:

  1. Ningyo Rhapsody (Mermaid Rhapsody)
  1. Me ga Sametara Onnanoko ni Natteita Yamai (Woke-Up-as-a-Girl Syndrome)
  1. Yogen no Nayuta (Nayuta of the Prophecy)
  1. Imouto no Ane (Sisters)

I wonder what Tatsuki Fujimoto was before Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man

Cured of Fears

During an excavation, archaeologist Magdalena accidentally resurrects a centuries-old vampire named Vladimir, who promptly disappears. When she attempts to warn authorities, she’s institutionalized. Upon release, she sets out to stop Vladimir, who’s now taken over a nightclub.

Admittedly, I only knew this movie because of that infamous same meme scene.

Anyways, this is a cine de ficheras, directed by Adolfo Martínez Solares

Known as “sexicomedias” or “Mexican erotic comedy films”,[5] they were distinguished by being films that integrated erotic comedy and exploitation, abusing resources such as double entendre, foul language, nudity and sex.

Tatsuki Fujimoto’s 17-26

Sex Et Nudity: Moderate

A nude woman’s breasts and pubic hair are visible while modeling.

Violence Et Gore: Severe

Some child kills a pet, was it bird, fuck…. actually that might be a theme for two episodes, including this one

Profanity: Moderate

Substance Abuse: None

Frightening Et Intense Scenes: Moderate

Didn’t a soft-hearted boy literally turn into a girl, through some series of events and get harassed over it in one of these episodes? (poor him)

I also heard someone hung someone’s nude portrait in one episode, much for people to see (WTF)

Cured Of Fears

Sex Et Nudity: Moderate

Quite a lot of skin but overall softcore.

There’s some pervert/sexualization of women scenes,

Violence Et Gore: Moderate

Expect a throat and a wrist to be slit, ow, as a result of vampire shenanigans, otherwise, people get killed often with physical force at best 13+

Thankfully, for reasons seen below, the deuteragonists Hippocrates and Jacinto, who helps Magdalena, get their ass beat up a lot of times, often in slapstick ways

A bit of blood, slapstick comedy and violence,

Profanity: Moderate

Expect to hear ‘chingar’ (fuck), ‘porra’ and all that

Substance Abuse: Moderate

I mean, the two do potion shenanigans so expect that

Offensive, Frightening Et Intense Scenes: Moderate

The main vampire guy goes to a nightclub and either hypnotizes or just kills women for blood.

Hippocrates and Jacinto are jerks, considering in one scene they have shown to be homophobic, and in one, sexist. (Hence why I’d like to see them beaten up at times)

As an ad-hoc measure, Jacinto uses Nazi memorabilia to ward off the vampire, in an infamous scene

The female protagonist tries to warn the police and gets sent to an insane asylum

A bit of disrespect towards mayan culture,
