THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Now that Yuuji knows the situation he's in, it seems he doesn't have much of a choice than to go with the flow and adapt with the changes in his life. More info dumping with the supernatural elements though.

Not going to lie, I find the fight between him and that green monster to be silly with all that bouncing everywhere. Got to see a little bit of Nobara but I hope she gets more screen time. The ED theme song is very stylish.

So, Yuuji changed schools, to a school called Jujutsu and Yuji seemed to have gotten along well with Fushiguro.

ED VISUALS AND THE SONG MY GOODNESS. JJK FANS Y'ALL FEASTING.

There were some minor changes in the scenes, but that's fine I guess. Pacing was good so far (episode ended in chapter 3).

Our boy Satoru, can't wait to see him in action and Nobara is also already here, next episode gonna be good.

Definitely more engaging than when I read the manga, took me a couple of chapters till I was feeling it.

The material is still bland and comedy is so bad, but the production efforts from MAPPA have been damn solid still and I like Gojou here a bit more than the manga.

MAPPA pacing this decently too so even if I'm bored by the material, it's somewhat watchable compared to the director and studio's efforts for God of High School.

My goat Gojou finally here. And my baby Nobara here. Episode went by fast as hell, soon as she came up the credits were rolling ๐Ÿ˜”

MAPPA snapped so hard on the Gojou v Sukuna fight. GoH visuals with JJK story is gonna be amazing.

ED is a vibe too. The visuals are hilarious

Way better than the 1st episode without a doubt. A note-worthy short fight right at the beginning, nice

And it seems like Jump acknowledged the fact that, after Kimetsu no Yaiba, their manga adaptations deserves to be treated well with high production values if they want to make them big hits in the country

THAT ED VISUAL THO (Especially Gojou's part was so lit I mean those finger movements are so flawless(o wait))

For the storywise it's a little bit typical shounen cliche but I guess for now I can overlook that fact and try to see more of what the next chapters are gonna pull off. Who are gonna be the enemies? How are they gonna learn and fight? What kind of chemistry would these main 4 characters pull off? These weill be the main points that I would concentrate on this show.
Even if I'm alone, I'll go, even if I want to die.
I can hear your voice, saying I shouldn't die.
Even if it's difficult, even if I cry from loneliness
I can feel warmth from deep inside my heart.

Going round-and-round and flowing, time is ever-changing.
I can't remember what happened anymore, but
If I try and close my eyes, I can hear someone's laughing voice
For some reason, now, that is My Most Precious Treasure.

The story is pretty standard, but there's some good energy and production values here to make this so far a very watchable show. Let's see if it keeps up along the line.

High production value should be an accessory and not something solely trying to carry a series. Unfortunately this is yet again happening to MAPPA, except with JJK right now.

For someone famed to be the strongest Gojou sure is quite the carefree person. Still its nice to see him back his words with genuine skill. Wow so there's still quite a few fingers and toes that need to be retrieved huh. Sukuna sure has tons of them. The members of the occult club sure got injured badly in their quest. The demon's determination to appear at times sure adds a layer of comedy to the series. Hmm the principal sure wasn't as i expected though. Still the cursed doll/plushies sure were pretty interesting while also offering a unique challenge. That doll sure had quite the attitude though. While the fight/interview was harsh it provided an excellent opportunity for Yuuji to revaluate his reasons for embarking on his quest. Overall an interesting ep that did well to introduce the core lore of the series in the form of the school and the Jujutsu creed while also showing just how powerful masters of that creed were. Looks like we get to see the third year next and man she's quite the dreamer.

This is great, loving it.

Gojou is cool, the battle between him and Sukuna was awesome. The animation is on point for conveying speed and power.

I definitely think Itadori's body is special somehow. No idea on what or why that's the case. I do love how he controls Sukuna at will, even after eating the second piece. Sukuna randomly popping out and talking makes for some fun moments though.

Itadori vs The principal was awesome.
"Education is making people realize things" is the best line I have heard in a while. Couldn't help but smirk after hearing that.
Itadori saying he didn't want to regret the way he lived by not helping people when he had the chance to do it was awesome.

ED is absolute fire.
Really looking forward to more now.

WOW! Manga readers have been hyping up Jujutsu Kaisen so much. My expectations were very high, and this episode delivered. I am understanding the hype now.

The ED is fantastic both the visual and the song are smooth, groovy, and lively. All the character were fantastic but Gojou’s dance was so effortless and cool. I can already tell he going to be one of my favourite character or even my favourite character in this series.

Seriously MAPPA really delivered when it comes to that Gojou vs Sukuna. I wasn’t prepared, they really didn’t have to flex like that. The animation. The camera angles. Truly fantastic. My favourite line “My student’s watching so I’m going to show off a little.” He is badass, like he talking to over 2,000year-old curse known as the “King of curses” and Gojou didn’t even break a sweat.

This is fucking cruel dilemma that Yuuji had to choose from: Be executed or be executed after absorbing all of Sukuna. At least if he chooses the latter he will have a proper death- being able to save the world from the like of Ryoumen Sukuna.

Principal Yaga Masamichi is a wise man. I have a feeling that the new girl with orange hair and Yuuji aren’t going getting to get along in next week episode.

I am hyped. Can’t wait for next week

Expanding upon what we saw last episode with Yuji eating the Sukuna finger and becoming a vessel for Sukuna himself. Gojo the baddest motherfucker around showing up!!! I love Gojo, he's probably the best character in Jujutsu Kaisen tbh. A pure badass just like we saw this episode. Taking on Sukuna all by himself and pretty much toying with the King of demons the entire time. Yuji being able to switch back and forth helps out a lot since he can more or less control when Sukuna emerges. Funny when later on Sukuna kept talking through Yuji cheek and hand. He's a mouthy demon. Yuji joining Jujutsu Tech is awesome! He can learn some proper techniques now being at the school. Dorm neighbors with Megumi too, it's a win win! Yuji test with the principal shows just how much a good boy Yuji is. Not just doing this because it was his grandpa dying wish but because if he hair sat by and did nothing while Sukuna tormented people it'd eat away at Yuji every free thought he had. The guilt of not doing something only he could do would be too much. Great episode, loved the ending song Holy hell is that amazing or what! Nobara teased at the end and more from her next episode!!

Really don't see how that's the case. This isn't best shounen ever or anything, but it's doing the shounen elements well, and already has a better and more cohesive story than GoH.

Agreed. After hearing so many good things about the series I guess I expected a bit too much from the start.

I like the idea of gathering all the fingers and Sukuna coming out here and there. Gojo is exactly what I expected from Nakamura Yuuichi as well. Now to see if the main girl will be likable or not .-.

Definitely a lot better than the first episode, I'm totally hooked now!

Cool short fight with the Principal too. Seriously though, how can this lad take such a beating and come out just fine? Is it going to follow that route where his father happened to be a great Jujutsu fighter in the past or something, I wonder...

By the way, Sensei too strong. Even against Sukuna, he can manage to hold his ground? That's OP as fudge right there.

ED is pretty darn cool though, I must say. Stylish, I like it.

Fall 2020 has been Great so far and, by the looks of it, this is only going to get better by the episode. Pretty excited for what's to come next!

I like the female character from the Op already lol so I'm looking forward to more of her next episode.

I mean it's obviously not gonna be as bad as GOHS, but right now it's not a very impressive start for me, despite what you say about it doing the shounen stuff right. I agree, at least there's order in the court in this case, though not a very solidified one yet.

Looking like it's going to be a classic Shลnen , with enhanced Animation^^

Mc is a prodigy, while beeing kind of slow and overly honest/courageous

We've got the laid back, strong, masked Sensei

We've got the Rival/Best Friend already pushing

There is the 3 Man-Squad Mission coming up (just guessing)

And we've got the School Setting, for exposition and training between missions, as well^^

Some might say this is *generic* ...but these were and STILL are some of the ingredients that made me fall in Love with the Shลnen Genre. I think it's gonna be great.

Amazing episode!

It just keeps impressing me. The action at the start was nothing short than amazing!

Characters are actually really good, Satoru is actually really cool and I love his attitude a lot, he's funny and a total badass in the fight with Sukuna at the beginning.

I do love the comedy in the series so far, from complaining about the recap and current events not lining up, to "I am into girls like Jennifer Lawrence" just cracks me up. Even the moment Yuuji hangs up his poster of this blond girl (prob Jennifer Lawrence) is just funny and doesn't feel out of place to me.

That ending song + animation though, that was amazing!

Atleast next week we will have the introduction of a female MC as well, seems she can kick-ass as well!

The OP and ED are completely different but rewatched them both lol. The music is so catchy.

I've seen many animes that aren't really good at explaining their objective and basically the whole world+story in general (ex.- deca dence, was still good though). However, with Jujutsu Kaisen it was clear and concise which I'm really glad about even though I already knew what the goal was due to reading the manga.

An amazing episode, can't wait for the next one.

Better than ep 1. Reading the manga alongside the release of the eps and from what I've seen so farm MAPPA is adding onto the source material to make scenes and moments just a little more impactful. If it goes at this rate, and the actual content, later on, becomes interesting then this might end up amazing.
