Why are people saying jjk has no story/ weak storyline?

It’s not that JJK has a bad story. It has a pretty good story. But it’s not its strongest point. It’s a battle shounen, driven by sakuga and 14 year old fanboys and girls.

The problem is the fan base that makes it like it’s the best thing that ever happens humanity and it’s extremely annoying. It wasn’t even the best anime last year.

And in all honesty it’s no match to all time classics like HxH, Naruto, AOT etc. but these new gen fans don’t really understand that.

These days the focus of anime’s has totally shifted from plot driven and character driven stories and only mediocre, repetitive shit is produced. In such a pool of uninspiring anime, slightly better shows seem too good, greatly inflating than what they actually are.

And of course extreme hype is always a deterrent. The extreme hype for this season really dulled the experience.

And the recent shit show of awards given out by crunchy roll just aggravated this sentiment.

JJK is good, no doubt. But not yet a world beater or all time great. Not yet. Maybe it will become but it’s no way close. And when new anime fans or people who just get hyped by brainless action and don’t understand importance of plots, characters and writings put it on a pedestal without any thoughts on the aforementioned topics or genuine low key good shows, it just angers people who genuinely hunt for and watch good shows.


Shows like Summer Time Rendering, Heavenly Deluisons which are far superior to JJK, on AOT levels of story telling and suspense never get any recognition because of the hype train of shows like JJK or CSM or even when train wrecks like SAO are more popular than true masterpieces like Mushoku Tensei, it’s just goes to show how shallow the new pool of anime watchers are.
