| The goal is just to express a feeling that I have. Am I the only one feeling like some anime are trying to produce weirdly organized episodes just to follow a trend ? Don't get me wrong, I love Jujutsu Kaisen and I read the manga since a long time, I just feel like this season 2 is so weird for no reason : extremely random OSTs, sudden cuts, unconventional camera angles, completely out off topic scenes... Is this maybe the influence of the very popular Chainsaw Man, known for breaking the rules of story telling, or am I completely wrong with my analysis ? |

Tristanteken said: I just feel like this season 2 is so weird for no reason : extremely random OSTs, sudden cuts, unconventional camera angles, completely out off topic scenes... You are too polite in the manner in which you word your question. In my opinion, S2 is a far-cry from the masterpieces that were S1 and the movie. This is MAPPA over-burdening themselves with projects and delivering sloppy end-products as a result. What you are alluding to is incoherent trash peddled as "modern art" and the fans will go "oh....such cinematic....much compositing". The total lack of fight choreography and decent OST in S2 is as clear as day....and the reason for this is they simply didn't have the time or dedication to pour their hearts in S2 as they had done with S1 and the movie. This season, upto this point, has simply not been immersive...and I don't believe it ever will because the original director left MAPPA. |
| Weird can equal to good, but not all times. However, Jujutsu Kaisen S2 is not doing anything weird, it just stopped looking like a complete mess like the first season and started looking like a regular anime. |
| I agree the music is a downgrade or at least is going in a different approach. Probably due to to the loss of collaboration from Hiroaki Tsutsumi who imo did some of the best tracks in Season 1. As far as action animation goes, I think it's been great. Gosso's directorial style makes more interesting and varied action set pieces. And the storyboarding and direction in general is way more fun to watch than Season 1. Take Yousuke Takada's episode 2. He transitions in his storyboard using the background as the lense and vehicle for playing a scene out. People should really watch the first 5 episodes of season 1 again. They were nothing special aside Kenichiro Watanabe's action cut from episode 2(Gojo v Sukuna). And tbh K1RO's cut from Episode 3 was cooler than the one he did in season 1 too! |

| No, both Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man belong to the same landfill as Naruto, Bleach or One Piece |

This season, upto this point, has simply not been immersive...and I don't believe it ever will because the original director left MAPPA. Sunghoo Park is a fantastic action director. When there is a fight on screen, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who can choreograph and animate it at the quality he can. Not to mention the speed at which he pumps it out. You cant out-action Park. But outside of action Park JJK S1 suffered in almost every other area. As noted by pretty much the entire community atp, bad compositing/effects/nearly any background in the show that moves. It was sloppy and awkward. Gosso is a much more stylistic director compared to Park. He uses fantastic angles and atmosphere and color to convey the tone of scenes much better than Park does. His willingness to try new things at least once, just to see if they work, shows that he is someone who is still trying to learn more to get even better. I'm terms of fight choreography, idk what y'all want, cause sometimes you want things to be 1:1 with the manga and other times you don't. the fights were adapted perfectly. And besides that. 90% of the fights were just people throwing out their long distance powers. What choreography do you want out of that. Round 2 was never supposed to be a fight anyway. This isn't Yuji where all he has is hands. I can't dispute your taste in music personally i don't see much difference between seasons besides less rap. And I also pray you aren't one of the ones who thinks the "hollow purple" ost should've played during the honored one moment. Worst possible musical tone choice for that moment. Anyway i like park when he's in more of an action storyboard and animator role. Season 2 of JJK is a much more visually sound product than even the movie was and definitely season 1. Probably won't change your mind but i like discussion. Thank you for your detailed reply....and for making an attempt to understand where I am coming from. The others outright attack me...but they too have the right to do so because I am criticizing their beloved JJK S2. Your comment really made me introspect. Maybe it's partly a problem with myself that I am still searching for S1 (and the movie) in S2. The changes are too drastic for me to handle. I love JJK and its characters...its ranked 1 in my favourites...the love for the franchise is bringing forth such a violent reaction within me to the changes introduced. Maybe S2 is not meant for me...maybe I am too blind to appreciate these changes which the rest of the community has whole-heartedly welcomed. I will nevertheless complete it (because its JJK)...but will refrain from ranting about it in the forums henceforth. Thanks again for your comment...I am grateful. |
