| How about that greatest hits of Ganiax produced mecha anime tribute they fit into this episode. Great stuff. |
 |
| Some great animation but this whole Mechamaru excursion felt rather sloppy from a writing standpoint (and that's beyond my distaste of the trope of shouting out move names that mean nothing to the audience with abilities that go unexplained). Just on a deeper, structural level, this was a very odd segment. Was that way in the manga too. It wasn't foreshadowed (or if it was it wasn't enough) that there was a mole. The emotional beats of his death fell kind of flat with how sudden and cliche it was, especially with how much of a side character he was. And his logic for staying and fighting was lacking, he should have just ran (and if that's not the case it wasn't communicated properly). The maid and butler dialogue later with Fushiguro and that one side character was another example of some really ham-fisted exposition. |
 |
| Outcome of the fight was obvious, was telegraphed that Mechamaru was going to lose so any tension was lost. Was a fun fight all the same but could have been better if I thought there was even the slightest chance he could have won. Looks like his fight was like an exhibition match, real battle will be starting now. |

| Me gusta este anime. |
 |
| So JJK became a meca anime. Interesting. |
| 3.5/5 Action packed first half with mixed animation. Not fluid all the time but the color compositions were a visual delight Mahito is a tough bastard, dodging Mechamaru's attacks like it's a walk in the park. Definitely got pressed enough to showcase his domain expansion though. Mecha got too confident and got dealt with pretty easily, nothing too extraordinary. A taste of what's to come...i guess Shibuya begins with already some neat atmosphere, shot compositions & sound design. Gojo enters the fray and is ready to go all out. The next few eps should be interesting ~~ |
 |
| Sigh, I knew he wouldn't be able to defeat Mahito, but it was still so sad DDD''''': |
| Muto as the ultimate Mechamaru vs. Mahito in the pursuit of telling Gojo about the Shibuya Incident, this battle is HYPE! Literally, it's the usual MAPPA fest of animation cooking, though the dimming within the fast action is to be expected which diminishes the enjoyment by a bit. Nonetheless, Muto thinking that he has a chance to win against Mahito, isn't unsound as he's prepared for it. But Mahito's Domain Expansion is still a special-class grade curse above the rest, and once that was established, Muto didn't stand a chance...as if, Muto's Simple Domain is just as effective, if not stronger. Even then, Mahito still trounces by the slightest of edges, and as much as Miwa had promised him, Mechamaru was severely defeated. As October 31st, 2018, Halloween, slowly inches, Shibuya descends into a veil of a curtain, trapping regular people and using people as fuel for curses. With that, the Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High goes into high gear with all jujutsu sorcerers involved, with Gojo being the main target in question. With the arrival of Gojo, the long-awaited Shibuya Incident arc marks its start into greatness with madness. |

| The animation keeps carrying the bare plot and terribly explained powers. No one expected Mechamaru to come out of this tone alive and his blue haired potential future waifu saying she wanted to get closer to him is just trying to tug at heart strings that no one had for Mechamaru in the first place. Yawn. I honestly fail to see the hype around it, there are no stakes, there is no buildup, powers are just pulled out of collective asses and the big baddies are just the typical OP shonen antagonists who keep laughing and shrugging off insane amounts of damage. Yujii is barely in it so far and I honestly had to look up his name because the true MC is Satoru whom everyone sucks off like he's god. That's because he is. Between this and Chainsaw Man, I have no fucking clue why everyone sings their praises so hard because both series suffer from the same boring, played-out formula that would make fucking DBZ blush with how little everything is explained. How am I supposed to be invested into these characters if I don't know the potential power differences and stakes at play? |
| tbh i'm biased since i'm not a huge mecha fan, but even reading the manga i thought of it as a bit silly and the animation was a bit messy for my tastes (with the transforming action and all) hyped for shibuya though |
| uh oh! |
| Well it was a given that Mechamaru wouldn't make it. Also went heavy on the Gurren Lagann. As for Gojo arriving....I got a real bad feeling about this. |
 |
| MY DRILL.... IS MY SOUL!!!!! |
 |
| RIP Mechamaru... |
| tbh half the time i didn't get what was going on in this episode, but i like fight and it seemed something bad happened at the end idk |
 |
| Loved it, the references to Eva and Gurren Laggan and the way it kickstarted Shibuya. 10/10 |
 |
My candies -     |
| So Mechamaru's dead huh, he should've ran away when he had the chance |
 |
| The episode was giving Evangelion vibes with Mechamaru. Honestly, that was a very unavoidable death, rest peace in Mechamaru. Gojou has arrived |
 |
| I loved the animation in this episode. The fight was really cool to watch. Even if the result was obvious. I actually really liked Mechamaru so it's sad to see him go. Poor guy never got to say goodbye to his beloved Miwa. |
 |
| they went bananas insane on this episode |
三 刀 流 炎 无 |
| rip mechamaru 😔 you put up a good fight (still alive? 🤞 do it for miwa) |
三 刀 流 炎 无 |
