THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This is more of Nobara's official debut but she's already making an entertaining impression imo. I find it her interactions with the cast (especially Yuuji) to be hilarious so far. But at the time, she still wants to fight the good fight against the monsters in their world.

I'm not surprised that Nobara is willing to surrender to protect that kid from the monster. Most importantly, it's cool to see some of her abilities being used.

Even so, Nobara is a funny person, Yuuji and Nobara they are both funny, and we are shown a little of Nobara's past, and she is quite strong.

I remember reading the manga and most of first impressions of Nobara in the comments were...bad, I guess. Idk why though, she's always been the cool/confident type who also has an amusing and weird side to her. Impossible not to love Nobara. She and our male protagonists make perfect, entertaining team.

And now that we know you have to be a little unhinged to be a shaman, we can understand some of Yuuji's moments, and to be more specific - what in the hell could be a reason for his nutsy behavior.

Oh, and in case someone didn't guess - TDL is Disneyland. Pretty popular in Japan)

The comedy again is eh but I will admit, I thought this episode was not bad. The anime's definitely a lot more watchable to me so fair play to MAPPA. I even thought Nobara was solid here too and instantly fit well with the cast here like she was always there from the very beginning.

Man it’s crazy how much MAPPA have been snapping on this and giving life to scenes from the manga. My baby Nobara’s sequence at the end was phenomenal. The combination of visuals, animation and OST is making the early chapters 20x better than reading them.

im loving Nobara, especially that tongue roll. She reminds me of those high school delinquent badass girls. The animation is sick as always and i love the black sketchy lines around her blue energy. beautiful. can't wait for next episode. That's when Jujutsu Kaisen truly began to show its uniqueness and stand out from the rest of shounen animes.

Edit: I also like how they added Nobara and Principal Yagi in the opening picnic scene.

pretty sure they were also the narutards who were comparing JJK to Naruto and they instantly saw Nobara as Sakura #2 and began hating on her for everything she does.

Great episode again. The amount of emotions poured into this adaptation is simply praiseworthy to say the least. Absolutely love it.

I'm liking Nobara so far. Also gonna call it now, Saori-chan is gonna get cursed at some point.

Next episode looking ominous. The womb curse looks creepy as hell, and I wonder who's gonna end up biting the dust.

Nobara's self-confidence is amazing and her strong conviction for why she become a jujutsu sorcerer must be simple and a little ridiculous but at least it is her own.

The director didn’t ruin GOH, the script writer did. It’s the main difference between this and GOH. The series compositor actually knows what the hell they’re doing as opposed to the person they got for GOH, whose other work of note was bloody Sonic X. The thing was doomed from the start.

The queen is here!! Nobara makes her grand debut in the anime! Loved this episode with her and Yuji teaming up to hunt down a curse. Gojo totally fooled them thinking he gonna take them on a tour of Tokyo. Their reactions were great. The whole episode had Nobara and Yuji reacting to things very vividly and lively. The animation for them acting up was perfect for their characters. Nobara is a great female character to add with our boys. She oozes confidence and stands with her head high. We saw some of her childhood in that flashback explaining why she hates the countryside and who live there with the paranoia and attitude those people have. The Jujutsu they use in this episode was amazing. Nobara showing off with that straw doll technique and how she uses those hammer and nails. Again I habe to say the animation looked great when they were fighting each of the curses. Yuji whipping that cursed knife around like a pro already. Helping out Nobara when that curse took the kid hostage. Their banter made the episode even better.

Nobara's debut was quite interesting, she was really entertaining to see, especially in her interactions with Yuuji.
A lot of funny moments in this episode, since it was more relaxed if compared to the first two. But looks like this won't last long.
They left us with a cliffhanger, let's see how's that going to turn out.

So Nobora joins the group as a girl who wants to leave the countryside and live in the city. She helps Itadori exorcise the curse in an abandoned building by using a unique set of cursed weapons of a hammer and nails. We get a little bit of backstory on why she left the countryside and hopefully she will be able to find her childhood friend in Tokyo.It sad that she had to move back to the city because some country bumpkin assholes kept harassing her. Itadori is also good with that cursed knife he got there.

Nobara instantly fits into the team for me, I really liked the way they introduced her and her backstory. After watching this episode, I am definitely going to read the manga now. JJK keeps getting better every week!

Also....I did the thing where I replayed the opening about 7 times before actually starting the episode lol. Idk bout everyone else, but I believe JJK's opening is definitely one of this seasons best so far. Still gotta see a few more anime and their openings before I decide though.

Nobara flashback caught me off guard, like whaaaaaaat is this flashback doing here this early? It wasn't shown in the manga until later chapters, you know like last week's chapter? Not that it's bad though, it just felt somewhat weird because of what comes after.

Good introduction of Nobara. If anything, her crazyness fits within the team already. She has an interesting exorcism technique, I actually chuckled a little bit when she pulled out that hammer and nails. Also appreciated the pun.. "Nailed it!"

Yuuji has some really insanely brute strength now. Kinda reminds me of the MC from Parasyte getting unhumanly-strength.

The whole sushi discussion post-credit was amazing. Gotta love this group already.

This was legit me, but with the ending instead, before I could start the post-credit scene XD Both songs are great to listen to and one of the best this season for sure!

Nobara is a great addition to the already awesome cast.

The ending got me even more intriqued for next episode but i doubt that they will actually kill one of them off.

Quite literally, They NAILED this episode :) (Everyone except Fushiguro would like this joke)

The queen has arrived! Nobara is one of my top 3 shounen girls because she's so loud, bold and unlady-like which is awesome! I really appreciated her nail pun too... nice sense of humour gurl. With her joining the team, our newest shounen trio is COMPLETE!

I can't wait for Gojo's face reveal... I wonder if people will be as shocked as I was when it happened in the manga...hmm...
