Great episode!
I do hope that they kill the main character in the end. That would be cool. I don't want them to find a way to make him live.

High production value should be an accessory and not something solely trying to carry a series. Unfortunately this is yet again happening to MAPPA, except with JJK right now.


simply you are elites, You become a YouTuber ? Meh and the way you criticize? Meh, Elites always elites, You always want to look perfect even though you are hypocritical.

Second episodes in and i got the second and third battle sequences already. Looks like those Satoru had an interesting personality, while in the battle held some cool elements on him. I just got Kakashi sensei vibes with its mystery plus humourish kind of style in these introduction, especially when he talked to Itadori. Well, he officially his sensei, so i don't mind with that similarity. All of them were the same Shounen type. XD

The plot already setted up pretty solid goals there, by taking an interest on Itadori's talent to surpressed Sukuna's power. Well, its kinda gave me a sad feeling, by putting all of Sukuna's parts on Itadori bodies first, than lets see the consequency of their action later. Its sounds like they were making him as a sacrificial object to made him as a containers to get rid of Sukuna as fast as possible. Satoru and Itadori's facial expression when the explanations happened just amusing to be what watched. So, thats the concept. What else Itadori could do rather than just accepted it first? I might think that Sukuna can learnt something great with his new life on Itadori's body, changed hims mind, and ended up befriended with everyone, especially with Itadori first. Its sounds silly and so cliche, But, everything can happen, right? well, left aside my wild thought there, and let the plot told me first about their school life before jumped out into the main problems of Sukina's struggling.

So, yeah thats it. Another solid introduction, even though i feel sad that they had no proper farewell at Itadori's old school first, and jumped out fast to Jujutsu academy. Oh, well. At least that headmaster was a funny person, with a nice power too. While the battle sequences were smooth and very gorgeous, no complain. It just looks so cool with all of their battle sequences, especially with that sensei amazing movement. Thats it so far, and looking forward to the third episode. More characters to be introduced!

He didn't once ask if there was another way. He accepted eating 1,000 year old people jerky no questions..

It seemed Itadori had no choice, like that Satoru sensei said, he only had two choices, no exception. As a good MC, ofc he chose it as his better solution. XD

I said it before and I'll say it again: The Op is amazing af :D
Eve + fantastic animation and a nice art style = great
The Ed is pretty cool as well, very interesting choice :)

I'm not sure how I feel about the anime itself tho. The animation is great and the story seems promising, but the characters are kinda... meh so far. Doesn't help that we basically have Naruto, Sasuke & especially Kakashi 2.0 here.
The protagonist has something world threatening sealed inside of him, but is a nice and aloof guy. He also has a light hair color and face markings.
The "rival/friend" is a little bit hostile and edgy, has basically Sasukes hair.
The teacher, doesn't only look like Kakashi, he also covers half of his face and is OP.
I don't like any of the Naruto characters I just named, so I hope the ones in this show will not be like them.

I also don't like that the teacher is that strong. Where's the threat if he could even beat the "king of curses". He's either gonna die tragically or just be as strong as he said, so i dunno.

The girl seems cool tho. My favorite characters in Shounen often end up to be girls, cause the aren't as predictable and shallow as many of the MCs (if they are written good, which doesn't happen that often either).

These are all just observations ofc and I hope that I'll be proven comepletely wrong! :)
Curious to see how this will develop!


Yeah, don't worry, no naruto chara dattebayo here. Gojo is really that powerful but the author generally manages to keep the fights interesting even when Gojo is involved and it helps that the villains are competent and dangerous. The real show will starts when the main villains finally appear, keep watching, its worth it

Gojo Satoru flexing his abilities was just top-notch. The action scenes never disappoint, especially when the camera rotated around Sukuna was just S-tier execution. Megumi, how's the bag? Anyway, the pacing was great. And finally the ED, yes the ED, looked and sounded fresh and swag. Though there are minor changes of scenes from the manga but its fine. I'd give it a 9/10

The material is still bland and comedy is so bad, but the production efforts from MAPPA have been damn solid still and I like Gojou here a bit more than the manga.

MAPPA pacing this decently too so even if I'm bored by the material, it's somewhat watchable compared to the director and studio's efforts for God of High School.
From your notes on Mangaka's page, I know it you don't liked the manga saying boring characters, boring story so why are you even Watching this ? Maybe just to lower your average score ?

It's really gross that Yuuji will have to eat 18 more fingers of Sukuna to be able to gain all Sukuna's power, and he will be executed after that. lol. Satoru-sensei is certainly strong and fast! The doll curses of the principal is also funny. I'm excited to see how powerful the third first year is. This is getting more interesting!

Boring episode. Basically nothing happened and it wasn't fun. Things are looking up in the trailer though, hopefully the next episode gets better.

Btw, I can't help but feel that the fight sequences are similar to those from God of Highschool, unfortunately I haven't seen enough anime to tell if it's top tier, standard or bad, maybe it was the fact that there was no meaning to that fight that bored me but in this episode I think it looks pretty bad.

Jujutsu Kaisen is a very shounen and generic to a certain degree but honestly speaking, aside from Golden Kamuy and perhaps three other shows, this series is one of the few that I look forward to watching every week. I just need my shounen fix and this has everything covered.

The animation quality in this series is far superior to anything we have this season. The OP alone is top tier. ED visuals and song were also pretty good. Junichi Suwabe is perfect for Sukuna, it's exactly how I imagined he'd sound. He's my favorite character in the series and wished he had more screen time (even in the manga). I'm not a fan of Kugisaki and don't care about her appearance but it completes the trio.

Did anyone pay attention to the scene after Sukuna destroyed the school bridge then itadori regained control of his body, I watched the Gojou opposite with the fushiguro then he walked towards Yuji .. Is this some kind of technique, because the scene is shown only half the body, I am wondering about this. this surprised me.

I really understand why today they focus on animating these jump shows better, because otherwise nobody would see them the action have billion frames but the choreography itself is super lazy. The 'fight' at the start was one dude flailing while another just vanished without moving and reappeared elsewhere. Which is also how the later 'training' scene went. The rest of the episode was one long infodump. I can get absolutely get into corny action monster-of-the-week stuff like Garo, but there was no real plot to this episode. It was at best, a training episode of dudes standing around waiting for the protagonist to go from declaring "I care about, you know, stuff in general" to "I care about, I don't know, I guess me and stuff?" There was no furtherance of anything past that. Just a bunch of dry factoids spewed out.

Great episode again, not much to complain about. I really like the balance between
semi-gruesome horror and lighthearted character building.

I know everyone is entitled to his opinion, but BOY, straight up saiying that nothing happened is a joke that isnt even funny. This episode was packed with content and with a clear sense of progression/direction:

Establishing MC goals adding nuances to him? check
Introducing and establicing new core cast members? check
Introducing lore elements that are vital for the story? check
Setting up what the overall story is going to be about?check

Basically is what any good story should do a its beggining, and all in a very smooth way. Last episode was nothing compared to this, we didnt knew about anything, now we are talking.

Also the fight sequences are some of the best the industry could offer, only matched with Demon Slayer, OPM S1, Mob Psycho 100, and some of the best Naruto fights.

I booked plan to watch last season on Jujutsu Kaisen when i found out that was the same director as GOH. despite some details, i think the studio made a good adaptation and especially a great animation work.

I'm only JJK anime viewer, but so far i really liked the pacing, choreographies and effects. and the ED visual its reaaaally cute!

now i'm hyped about the presentation of the new girl character (๑>ᴗ<๑)
