| So there's been a lot of "JJK is hated and Generic" threads so I figured let's make a thread about what we found interesting or non-standard about JJK. I liked "explaining your power". It's a common shonen trope but JJK turns it into a layered mechanic. HxH has done this before as requirements for activating an ability, but in JJK anyone can do it for a power boost. The strategy's validity changes depending on your cursed technique and your enemy's. Some abilities it doesn't matter if you explain them because your enemy can't do anything about it, like Todo's Boogie Woogie. Some are easier to counter, like Nanami's 7-3. There's also the strategy of misleading your opponent with incomplete information. Todo left out key details when disclosing his technique to Hanami which allowed him to beat the shit out of it. Or when Eso says "you guys will die in 10 minutes from my poison blood" only to think to himself "they'll actually die even faster because I explained my technique." |
| The above average Shounen Jump manga is already more appealing to most people than your average LN isekai with OP protagonist and pseudo harem, let alone the countless one cour slice of life/ rom-com series with waifu bait, original sports or game adaptations. Add badass characters and great production, voilá, you got an anime smoking 95% of what's coming out. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Nothing for me. It was just good in all aspects (except soundtrack imo, I didn't like it) and it all added up to a solid 7/10. |

| Thanks for the responses. Though I would prefer if there were more specific examples. Like how Yuji had to clarify his goal in episode 2 wasn't just "because my grandpa told me to" or how Sukuna's actually evil. |
| Nothing but the animation |
| Mostly the villains i guess especially Sukuna and mahito |
 |
| great visuals and hot guys What you mentioned above as well |
 |
Oh yeah love the irony. From Mahito who literally plays with lives to Choso who received news of death. It's nice to see the villains know how to have fun. You see them playing football, hanging in hot springs, and tanning on the beach. |
| Overall: badass characters for the most part with fun interactions between them, antagonists that are actual villains, interesting powers and how they’re used in fights, no downtime inbetween arcs for training or boring events that we’ve seen done a thousand times in shounen stories. Anime - great adaptation of the source material that also elevated some dull moments from the manga, solid art and CD as well as clean animation. Manga - some of/if not the best fight choreography in shounen being published right now but also in recent memory, great use of panels. |
 |
| Nothing. The plot is basic, the characters especially the main trio is just fucking bad written and don't even feel like characters more like side characters who are there to just create comedy. The only reason that I can think of is that it had good looking characters that's all nothing else |
| Personally ... it doesn't. I remember it having some great animation in some episodes, but the plot was forgettable. Oh, and the Kakashi lookalike. |
|
| Mappa's animation and Gojo. Rest of them are pretty normal |
| the author is gay af so the girls aren't fanserviced, which means i can actually pay attention to the show |
| smile B) |
| it didn’t really stand out to me to be honest, I didn’t really like the story/characters/humor personally so maybe that just really killed it for me, I do love a lot of shonen though I just couldn’t get into this one. |
| Just animation and animation and animation. |
 |
| Great animation, fight choreography, power system, plot, characters and villains. Plus a great soundtrack. To be honest out of all of the new generation Shonen series out there, this series stands out for me. |
| Animation quality and that's really all. |
| So you're in the same boat as me lol.Even I love the way they explain their powers as it is an integral part of the world building in JJK. I think saying "It's only known for animation" has become a trend now after Demon slayer released when I love other aspects other than animation like how the characters use their brains to defeat the villains plus villains are supposed to be hateable but they made Sukuna really fun lol. |
