| PEAK IS BACK I REPEAT PEAK IS BACK |
| Shouta Goshozono has blessed our screens once again! If you didn't know, he was the director for Episode 8 of Chainsaw Man, and Episodes 7 and 21 of Ousama Ranking, the latter being very similar to some of the cinematic style used in this premiere episode. We're starting out with the Hidden Inventory/Premature death arc for the first five episodes, and it seems to be a backstory for Gojo, which is quite a welcome thing. A lot of great visual spectacles this episode, but not too much to comment in terms of what actually happened. Utahime and Mei Mei seem like interesting characters, and Gojo, well, he's the guy we know and love. As for the OP and ED, they were okay, but obviously not as much of a classic as the ones from Season 1. Looking forward to more! As for the leakers, shame on you for such disrespect. |
| This new art and cinematic style are gonna take a while to get used to. It's like I'm watching a completely different show from last season, and I really don't like it. The current style is definitely more my thing, however it's such a sudden change and it's distracting af. That short rotoscoping sequence around minute 6 or so looked jarring, I hope they never use it again, other than that the episode direction was great. I just wish at least the art style didn't look so different from season 1. |
| Checking such a large area by yourself must be a spooky exp even without the loops. Its fun seeing how the cast looked back when they were still early in their careers. So to maintain his sense of self Tengen has to find a new vessel huh. Nice digimon ref though. I see Q is continuing the trend of wearing military uniforms when out on ops. Looks like things are only gonna get bigger and flashier in this arc. But overall an excellent opening ep that featured a nice look into how the cast were back in their younger days. Good blend of OP and ending themes as well. |

| So we getting to the back story of the high school days of Gojo-Sensei? That’s good. And it looks fun. Excited to see how things turned out the way it is now to present time of Jujutsu Kaisen. Geto and Gojo looked like good friends. And it seems like Geto had such a nice compass of good morale, and Gojo on the other hand had the opposite of Geto. Looking forward to see what happens. Anyways. Fun episode! X3 |
| WOW, this episode is so beautiful, this season will be better animated than season 1 I guess the pace seems to be fast tho |
  |
| I liked the first episode. I'm really excited for this season. |
| what the fuck is this episode |
| Is this season/arc a prequel? |
| good well animated episode. lot of interesting characters introduced. since this will be a short arc ,seems like it will be well paced. |
| I just want to say that Utahime is the best. Show her the love she deserves |
 |
| A great start and I'm looking forward to the upcoming arc to be animated. |
 |
| It's great to have JJK back with us for another 6 monhts. This will be THE best season of Jujutsu Kaisen. A quite cinematic introduction with Geto, he'll be important this arc and the following. Aftewards, it's Mei Mei and Utahime who took the spotlight. I completely forgot about this part, but near the end, I remembered it when I read it in the manga. It was pretty funny lol, espically when Gojo and Geto arrived. Mei Mei's design is so fucking good in the early days. Same goes for Utahime, who has quite the personality when she was younger. Gojo is still a cocky bastard with a goat personality and Geto is just Geto. The simple artstyle is so fucking good and it'll look even better during the action scenes because of its fluidity. The opening and ending are great, I like the ED a bit more though. Well well, their mission is to protect a star vessel which will bring us some great ass moments. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
I love the friendship of geto and gojo this bestofrendos make me happy :D |
| Add me! |
| I know everyone's going to comment about the new art direction but I personally am in love with the opening/ending. I prefer them to the S1 OP/EDs. The sound design in this first episode was great too. |
| Impressive. Looks alot better than season 1. |
Rip_Oecuf said: FMmatron said: your comment feel really "dark". I thought this season will be great light-hearted slice of life.It will be interesting to see how they manage the action-heavy parts/where the staff has their priorities, in particular Shibuya, which is quite the task. That's what matters the most imo and I'll gladly bear with weaker episodes or scenes when the ones that "count" deliver 🤞🏻 High school rom-com arc incoming TheBladeIsMe said: What a sprightly fujobait show. Some were actually arguing with me that the "female-service" wasn't deliberate at all. Ehm, the diversity of husbando material speaks for itself. And to cover the content of this season adequately it was pretty much a necessity to switch up the art. KneelBeforeMe said: This jjk season will be a banger, well worth the hype. Although since it's MAPPA in charge, there'll be some weirdoes nitpicking and hating minute details. Tryhards always feel obliged to nitpick in order to cope. Can't let us casuals have fun 😢 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| We are so back. Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 is already living up to my expectations. Love to see Gojo and Geto balling in basketball with Gojo hitting a layup while he was at it. Little details like the faces, mirrors, and cigarette with Shoko was amazing. Love the animation choice to for scenes that panned, animated on 4s? (the slow Utahime freakout from the rats, and the movement to the characters. Cant wait for more. |

Oongbuh said: your opinion isn't valid if you actually think csm is good and have it considered as on of your favorites lmao. Tell me what makes csm anime good, I genuinely want to know. Dixoncider8142 said: it was alright, but they tried way too hard to capture the "cinematic" experince. MAPPA is the definition of a wannabe ufotbale there was some camera movement and there were some shots that straight up look awkward. I shake my head in disappointment, this is not the MAPPA that I know and fell in love with, the MAPPA that made god of high school and jjk season 1 had their unique style. now they want to capture the style of ufotable, camera movement while characters are moving , but fail at it horribly. Thank God you're one not the one making anime. |
| My favorite part was Gojou making the Digimon comparison using Greymon evolving into MetalGreymon or SkullGreymon as the comparison. |
Black_Raven_2299 said: nah ufotable is a huge gap, it would probably on par with A-1 pictures at most.

What you said might be true but Ufotable delivers barely 12 episodes per year, whereas Mappa this year is having 70+ episodes. If you see it that way workload is quite heavy.(also jjk2 director worked in chainsaw man and jjk2 project at the same time.) If Mappa's all best staff worked on one project a year I think they can deliver episodes with same quality as Ufotable. |
| okay its here is airing!! damn! Gojou's infinity is such a cheat! even saitama would have a hard time dealing with that! lolz 5/5!!! |
 |
| Pretty good start for this season, great direction and very strong layouts. Also, I really wish we had different MCs because so far every prequel (JJK 0 + this arc) has had better and more interesting characters than the bland trio we got in the main series. |
