The team is honestly super consistent. It's surprising, especially for an anime done by freelancers mostly to look this consistent in terms of art. If the Violet Evergarden movie wasn't coming out this year, Jujutsu would definitely have best animation of 2020.

Mappa have good animators, they have some moments where their animations standout really well. I hope the quality stays consistent w/ JJK throughout the season.

Jujutsu kaisen does have better "animation" than violet evergarden. It's just that the art in violet evergarden is leagues ahead of anything imaginable. Also animation + art wise, the best thing to come out this year is the fate heaven's feel movie.

Still, for a tv anime the animation quality in jujutsu kaisen looks insane especially since the art looks pretty difficult to animate. THIS could be the new one punch man.

Just checked out the preview, damn that's some amazing animation, and everything there seemed to be of the first 5 episodes or so.

MAPPA has some good animators and this is from the same director of God of Highschool.

This might be another Kimetsu no Yaiba, bad story(not as bad as KNY) with really good animation(but bad character designs, at least for the humans).

People calling this the next Bleach/Tokyo Ghoul, really shouldn't be trusted, this is more like edgy Naruto meets Ao no Exorcist.
And it's not very good.

I'm pretty sure he means that the character designs in Jujutsu Kaisen are ugly. In my opinion tho I really think that the character designs are unique and it's refreshing to see such a different art- style

The animation will probably be good for the rest of the fights this season but we probably won’t see the god tier animation in ep 1 until the big fights. The preview for ep 3 kinda shows this. And regarding character designs they aren’t terrible but they ain’t good either. They just get the job done adequately enough. They reflect the manga’s art style well enough(I like the manga’s art style)

when the jujutsu kaisen anime was announced
Anime Fan (who's only watching anime not manga) - jujutsu kaisen hmmm i thik it's a boring horror amime
Manga Fan (who's read jujutsu kaisen manga) - OHHHHHHHH!!!! jujutsu kaisen got animal adaptation it's gonna be soo. good man

after releasing first episode of jujutsu kaisen

anime Fan (who's watch jujutsu kaisen 1ep) - broooooo! it's sooo good I am dying for seen next episode

Manga Fan (who's hype of jujutsu kaisen anime ) - broooo ! it's good but anime quality is not that good


meanwhile me ( as a manga + anime fab ) - everything is so good about jujutsu kaisen story, animation , sounds , voice character artist, character design, everything

it's just good 😊

Because its MAPPA they dont have in house animators, they are all freelancer. Like some webgens that animate the OP. Thats why its not notable, like other studios does it too. Except KyoAni and Ufo with their in house staff.

Tldr. Its not surprising that some of MAPPA shows are trash and some like this has good animation.

You have no clue what you are talking about so please mind your own business. MAPPA has in-house talented animators. Most notable is Sunghoo Park, the director of Garo, GOH, and JJK. The majority of the studios only have a few very talented in-house animators, the others are just freelancers. KyoAni is probably the only studio that never really uses freelancers. Ufotable doesn't actually have that much talent in-house at all. Most of the best fights in Fate are done by freelancers like the fight in Heaven's Feel Part II between Alter Saber and Berserker which is probably the best fight in all of Fate was done by a freelancer.

dont speak BS when you gave is a guy that direct the atrocious GOH. And your example is one not many. If you seen the credit of this anime is has majority is freelancers. Webgens animator is freelancers take note of that.

Eh , Violet evergarden has much better art AND animation. It's just that the show doesn't have cool flashy fight scenes to show how smooth the animation actually is. Jujutsu Kaisen is also good too , but Evergarden has movie quality animation.

The 3rd preview just came out and I watched it at least 10 times already. I love the animation style that the team is using for the curses, and the fight animation shown looks amazing. It's really fluid and honestly if the Violet Evergarden movie wasn't coming out this year I would have said that Jujutsu Kaisen has the best animation I've seen this year. I thought that Studio Bones would be the only studio that would be capable of animating Jujutsu Kaisen because of the art style but the team at mappa that's doing it proved me wrong.

No one's talking about it? Isn't its smooth animation the most hyped aspect of this show?

Character design is a big MEH so far, fake ass Kakashi with fake ass Naruto and Sasuke.

But the animation is decent so far. Honestly the best parts of the animation aren't the action moments everyone gets distracted by, but the subtle moments of fluidity, like when Itadori slaps Sukuna quite on his hand. The VA and animation are so well done in this moment, it's amazing. But, yeah, keep getting distracted by quick mid-air spins and think that makes amazing animation I guess. I'm hoping for more of the subtle moments.

Sry mate, you don't understand the difference between art and animation. Jujutsu kaisen has way better animation than violet evergarden. Not an opinion, just stating facts.
Liking or disliking character designs is a personal choice. Character designs are great imo. Specially gojo and nobara look way better than manga. Also don't try to exaggerate your opinions by using terms like absolute garbage. Even someone who doesn't like the designs won't say that they are absolute garbage. You appear as someone who is hating just for the sake of it.

The reason I said that jujutsu kaisen has better animation is obviously because it HAS flashy scenes, which are clearly harder to animate. It's common sense. Also about the claim. I'm not sticking a flag up my ass that says "jujutsu kaisen is the new OPM" and walking on my hands in circles around an anime convention wiggling my ass at the same time for everyone to see my glorious "claim".

It's the non-action scenes that impress me the most. The bits of smooth animation when you least expect/stuff that is not noticeable to most people is what makes me respect the attention Mappa is giving to JJK. Not sure what you mean when you say animation looks average, I assume you're talking about the art to which I can agree with.

I take it back, i actually agree with you on the artstyle, it’s average, the animation is good, but not too mindblowing until a crazy fight scene occurs like gojo vs sukuna (despite it being done by a freelancer), i appreciate the animation but the artstyle looks eh, could be mappa copying from the manga but imo it’d be better if they enhanced it more almost like how ufotable does it to KNY or wit with AOT cause mappa doing the exact same replica from the manga makes it feel plain and a bit dull, if they enhanced it more, it’d look more eye catching.
