Who the hell within the nine circles of hell, could come up with the great idea that Mahito would have to sound like a Trap-Shota.

this is absolutely annoying and irritating

I just read this entire discussion and I'm actually kinda speechless.
Some of y'all seriously need to stop being so butthurt over people not liking this show, cause so far it has been pretty generic with amazing animation and even if that changes later on, you can't really blame people for pointing out what we've been given so far.

You can't just insult people and call them dumb cause they don't like this show. And you most definitely should never tell anyone to die (my jaw dropped when I read that), just because they aren't fond of an anime. What has gotten into some of you?

I like the anime so far, but this already looks like it's shaping up to be the typical toxic fanbase most shounen have and that's really killing the vibe.

No it doesn’t it’s an above average Shonen but def doesn’t deserve the hype.

You can't blame people for pointing something out but you can blame them for how they're doing it, Kimurah isn't the only one not liking the show in this thread but he's one of the few being blamed, so not liking the show isn't the problem, if you read the entire discussion how did you miss one part of the problem?

So far the show has been generic? That's your opinion, not a fact.

It's shaping up to be the typical toxic fanbase? Based on 2 or 3 fans on this thread? Whoa...

StormxNightmare said:


I left out that part of the problem because the defending side was definitely more extreme. Yes, the people who are criticizing the show should also do it in a constructive manner, but Ofcool2947 & Kaasfondue were also antagonized immediatly after not praising this anime. Calling every criticism or opinion "bitching" is extremely childish.

You really don't see how this show is generic? Tell me one thing that's unique to it's plot or characters then. Generic doesn't mean bad by the way, it's just not really innovative.
Nearly everything we've seen so far is basically Naruto with a few tweaks here and there. Combine that with the overall narrative of collecting a fixed amount many special items, a fake out protagonist death, overpowered teacher character, the main characters visiting a special school... those are all common tropes in battle shounen. Nobara or rather her abilities are the exception so far imo (cause extreme physical strenght/having a powerful being sealed inside of you & summoning beasts isn't a rare ability at all in shounen). And that's not really an opinion, cause those are all proveable.

That being said, I enjoy this anime & Megumi has my favorite fighting technique so far. It has amazing visuals, a great soundtrack and enjoyable characters - but it's still (up to this point at least) a pretty generic shounen.

And yeah, I might be a little bit overzealous by calling the fanbase toxic just because of a few bad apples here, but looking at every other big shounen anime, I'm prepared for the worst.

@kimurah fuck off and die

@Jeppydaweeb
Yes, I personally think their critiques are valid. They both explained why they felt that way and what they'd like to see improved without insulting the fans of this show in any way. They didn't just go "this bad lol".

pockyharem said:
Yes!!! Today's feast was so good! Gojo honestly exceeded my expectations with his power level, I thought the curse would clap him so fast. Also they somehow managed to add comedy in this serious episode. Please tell me i'm not the only one who watches the little scenes at the end LMAO.

Ventus_S said:


I kinda agree you on this one.
I was expecting some crazy messed up tone , ended up getting a very calm and feminine voice... Ummmm...

Rickydory123 said:
SATORU IS SO DAMN PRETTY, HE LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE AN ANGEL WITH THOSE EYES ⊙_⊙

Satoru is so sus, he's definitely hiding something, so overpowered

It looked like he was seducing that ugly ass special-grade curse ≧∇≦

What movie was Itadori watching? (◐∇◐*)

MAPPA must have enjoyed making that football scene, it has been a long time since they did “Days”.

xkazutox said:
All I can say is....Satoru is a copy of Kakashi.

Both white hair and spike up
Both are sensei
Both have mask on
Both have eyes power
Both eyes power have similar ability (tsukuyomi???)

SOMEONE is definitely in love with Naruto when they make this chara. Ya should love naruto like creator-san :d

Nearly everything we've seen so far is basically Naruto with a few tweaks here and there, but they are fighting curses instead of other humans, which is pretty similar to the premises of shows like D.Gray-man or Soul Eater.

All hail MAPPA. I can't believe it. They did really some amazing job, they did this scene justice. The animation is far better.

Thanks to god Attack on titan final season will be in their hand.

I have only full hope.

It had nothing to do with the direction. Like I said, it is because the lava was shown in the Volcanic Domain that I knew it was lava, but it did not look like lava to me. It was obviously done in CGI to save on costs, since it looked the worst while in the background. The lava that the curse shot out of his head looked good, but the CGI lava in the Domain looked like poorly compositioned water. You can think that it looks good, but it stuck out like a sore thumb to me.

Ofcool2947 said:

“I’m not taking your comment seriously” then you didn’t get the point of my comment, “in the manga the two designs not fit well... He look much younger than he is supposed to be and the proportions of your face not with the previous design in manga.”

Buddy c’mon this is anime not real life, trying to add “realistic” features? you really think in “anime” you need to have “proportions” to fix your face, gojo’s face from the manga was perfectly fine to copy and paste into the anime, if the studio copied gojo’s unblindfold appearance and added sharper details, that would look perfect but they barely did that and he looked plain, it’s not bad but it didn’t have the same feel as compared to the manga’s design, bit of a downgrade.

Idc about kyo ani nor the fate series, wasn’t the point i made, i’m specifically talking about the ufotable team that did the KNY manga, that team adapted the characters from the manga and enhanced them, basically improved since the art from KnY looks weird, literally mappa can do the same with JJK, and since the art of jjk doesn’t have as many errors as KnY, i don’t see why enhancing the characters designs would be hard for mappa, if the manga artwork is there, they can make gojo unblindfold design look sharper.

Kyo ani is different from mappa, they take their time doing animes while mappa tries to grab a bunch of animes are tries to adapt all of them in 1 year like freaks, not saying it’s bad but it could affect their production, but if this is the reason on why mappa isn’t making the character design details more sharper, then i’ll just pretend they did better for the future.

AnitadelaBrisa said:
its quite valid that you didnt like the voice if its not as you imagined it (or whatever) ... but isnt your comment a bit offensive? also, its just the character's introduction. this seiyuu has different nuances in all the jobs he did. i like this "first" high-pitched voice, in my opinion, but i dont think he's going to use the same tones for every situation

Joei-12 said:


And where is the offense in my comment, since the director telling the seiyuu to use that type of characterization and intonation for a character like Mahito is simply dissonant and it will be annoying and noisy

We're only at episode 7 geez stop making assumptions

erwins1995 said:
it's my personal opinion thou and it seems there's alot of people also has d same lol

z7ProSpyce said:


I totally disagree. The ambience was changed and the colorization too in that scene so the visual of the CGI lava was different becouse of toon shaders and others factors like I said before.

This was confused (for you) becouse these factors that I said and the photografic of the scenes somed with the direction and storyboard.

But ... Ok if was bad too you. What I can do?! It's your opnion right!?

At least JOUGO is useful for Soccer.

Blue_Maroon said:
Like I said before, I can’t argue about whether or not you liked it, but I am arguing about how well it fit within the scene to create 1. a realistic effect and/or 2. a visually pleasing effect. It did not match the “ambience” and “colorization” of the Domain either, the CGI of the background lava moved unnaturally and did not look good visually. It has nothing to do with the direction and storyboard. I am fine with how it would look if the lava was composited well.
