such a let down, the initial premise was interesting

>>280331423 (OP)
the initial premise was a battle royale.

>>280331423 (OP)
At least Gash got naked a lot

I think you should kill yourself

>>280331423 (OP)
Folgore was the MVP GOAT

>you have to burn enemy's book to win
>the demons with water/ice power...
Also book conveniently burns extremely fast for enemy, but for ally they can always cast their strongest spell one last time.

>>280331423 (OP)
halfway through it goes into larger arcs
and read the manga, the anime raped the second big arc

I do not believe that someone today would try to get into Gash Bell today, choose the anime instead of the manga, watch like half of it, then decide that all the hype is wrong and it is bad. I bet you didn't even get to the best character Big Boing

remember when the first chapter showed that Gash had horns only for that to never been brought up ever again

>Hey hey, let's dance all day?

>>280334080
Read the manga, you useless piece of indian shit.

>>280334080
I always thought it was rather funny that thorough the series, matches and lighters were legitimate strategies for burning books.

>>280332481
Based

>>280332481
It was the style at the time

>>280331423 (OP)
It's LITERALLY an anime for children
You need to learn to temper your expectation

>>280334080
Some fights show that books will spontaneously combust if the demon takes way too much damage.
Other than that, incapacitating the demon and threatening the human is a valid approach.

>This is how we shall introduce our title character in the anime

>>280334080
There is a water demon but she supposedly doesn't give a shit about winning, her only goal was to hook up with Gash.
it didn't work, and she was really fucking mad about it

>>280331423 (OP)
It linda Is

>>280331423 (OP)
What I don't get is what is in it for most of the humans. It's not like winning the demonbowl gives them money or anything, unless I'm forgetting something. If a demon tries to become my partner and tries to get me to fight to the death to become the demon king I will just tell it to fuck off

>>280340446
They get a powerful partner that will be forced to obey them to some extent. Many humans you meet at the start were using the demons for their purposes.

>>280331423 (OP)
It's only villain of the week for the fist arc, while it establishes the rules and sets up the teams. There are longer more complex arcs after that.

>>280334080
>>280336562
Why didn't any human partner ever use a gun?

>>280339656

>>280340446
>If a demon tries to become my partner and tries to get me to fight to the death to become the demon king
That sounds radical. What do you have going on in your life that's more worthwhile than that?

>>280342141
Anon. Literally the first minor villain.

>>280342231
This scene was an early fap for me.
But it was the the English localization that always edited the art to have Gash wear boxers underneath his dress.

>>280342241
I just don't wanna die

>>280340446
And that's why you wouldn't be chosen as a partner. The pairs were picked to best compliment each other so they would both grow. Kiyo got through his loneliness, Mir escaped from the yakuza, Li-en gained independence, Sherry was able to save her friend. Some people got shittier deals but it's not like having a demon is just a burden.

>>280340446
Nope they get a reward

>>280343000
True, but it's not like they knew about it at the start

>>280343000
what makes no sense is how the demons find their partners by pure coincidence. Like, they basically have to scout through the entire globe until they find the right person by pure chance

>>280331423 (OP)
cute

>>280339591
Until at some point near the where meta shifts to burning your own book to prevent your demon from dying

>>280331423 (OP)
read the manga

>>280342231

It always bums me out when Zeon's ultimate spell is some bird with a gaping hole.
The video game really spoiled me on Zeo Zakeruga.
>Zeon trained so hard he got Baou-like power
Shame.
