| It's in no capacity a bad show, but it isn't really that great either, I feel like if this series was made by a worse studio, then nobody would talk about it, due to the story being whatever. I find myself mostly watching it because other people are doing so. I personally would probably have dropped it, if it wasn't for my own curiosity. |
| There are always these people who can't get anything out of hype works. And with this one it is quite incomprehensible. This is in fact, as an exception, a high-quality and decently written manga that received an adaptation with solid quality and some abnormally well animated scenes. But since you said you like every shounen anyway and with this one you find it questionable, it explains a lot anyway. 90% of all shounen are Brain_Offline titles, in which you can reuse the brain cells that you lost in elementary school and you can still fully understand the anime. Exceptions so far are FMAB, HxH and Jujutsu Kaisen. |
| You should elaborate as to why you dislike it.I can apply the same opinion to any other shounen anime. Also the power system is one of the best I've seen.I don't understand why does it not make sense to you. |

| people who hate this is either extremely pretentious shounen "trash" kind of people,since both rebelpanda and ryuseishun love this anime now |

| Jujutsu Kaisen is pretty bad. I know people don't like to hear the term "generic" anymore, but it feels like's I've watched this anime 100 times already. And yeah, while generic doesn't mean bad, I'm certainly not enjoying it much lol. I'm about to just give up on new shonen because it doesn't really seem to be my thing anymore. |

| Boring, textbook battle shounen. Not bad, just meh |

"Pretty bad" was inaccurate of me tbh. Based on my actual rating score, it would be more like "kinda not good". |

| It's just an another generic fighting shonen. It's even worse than Naruto that at least it had some decent arcs at it's beginning. |
 |
| I guess I don't understand the points of threads like these where it's "does anyone else (insert common opinion here)?" This is a super popular shonen series; and with great popularity comes great hatred. There are going to be plenty of people who tried out the series because it is one of the hyped shows of the season and did not like it for a myriad of different reasons. However, I do appreciate that you provided some context on what you did not like about the series. Interestingly enough, your complaint about the power system echoes one that my friend had when I introduced them to the show. And that friend is also a Naruto fan, and I thought that Naruto was actually a pretty reasonable parallel to JJK in terms of how it handles its power system. So for anyone who does not like (or is confused by) the power system in this series, I would certainly be interested to hear more about why. |

| It's okay...but I do find the main protagonist kinda boring. I like the other characters better. |

| people like it and i wanna watch it but im not into shonen anime |

Summed up my thoughts on the show perfectly |
| Probably SNK fanboys, because it draws MAPPA's attention from their beloved series and they didn't get to see Eren opening doors. |
 |
| not sure never peak my interest to check it out |
| No it’s peak shonen. It has good character with incredible animation that goes with the action. The story as of now is not the best shonen story but I can feel huge story potential from it. |

Yep A_G_N said: but can't say the eyes power system alone and other stuff in the series could be that easily topped,especially with the lore and creativity used along with it. I guess the way Itachi explained the abilities of the Sharingan in Shippuden was cool. But what I said was, from a technical standpoint, Naruto's power system is worse than JJK's. Hell, I remember that one episode where Kakashi explained how Jutsu fall under elements, and Naruto asked him something along the lines of, "what about Shikamaru's Shadow Possession Jutsu" and Kakashi didn't even know |
 |
| what is this thread man, obviously people other than you dislike the show I don’t see the point in posting this |
 |
| It's decent battle shounen in my opinion. Generally I'm not a big fan of that genre, but for some reason I find it rather enjoyable. 7/10. |
 |
| Don't dislike, it's just a decent show. Take away the outstanding animation from MAPPA and you aren't left with a very strong foundation underneath, like most battle-shonen. |
| I think it's animated beautifully. The OP's and ED's are phenomenal. I just think that JJK is mediocre in everything that money *can't* buy. It's entertaining to watch but the writing imo is cheap, the characters feel cheap. Everything that is quasi-unique to it from a narrative perspective feels like an insult to the viewer's intelligence. Blood and violence doesn't make this shounen mature, a great many of the characters are walking caricatures. Not an original or interesting bone in their bodies. Also it "borrows" characters and elements from other anime far too often and egregiously for me to call it "inspiration". If you strip away the budget put into presentation in JJK imo it's just extremely unoriginal and unambitious. If I'm not judging it as a work of art and instead consider it just a work of entertainment it's fun for sure though to keep up with. In all fairness I think my initial disappointment with JJK stemmed from expecting it to be great based off of what I'd heard. Imo it's fun, not great. There's a difference and greatness and entertainment aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. The real POSITIVE note is that the fights are very entertaining and visually pretty clean and stunning. Now that I've caught up with it it's something I'll probably continue watching once in a blue moon to kill time. |

| Pretty average shounen to me, also known as "generic". Nothing special and forgettable anime. I still gave 9 for atleast enjoyment. |

| Dude, u gave demon slayer a 10/10. Calm down now; if you think the writing is horrible here, what makes u think it's good in demon slayer? BTW u gave not only demon slayer a good score but also black clover. Dude, ur just hating this series for no reason. Ur just a demon slayer jealous fanboy. |
| not that good not bad, so i don't like it neither dislike the only very good thing about this show is the animation |
| I would like to get one $, everytime someone makes this kind of thread under a popular shonen and a person calls it "generic". GUYS, it's fucking battle shonen, they are all the same. Don't expect to see something you haven't seen in the 100 other battle shonen before. |

It's his personal rating and his own opinion, why are you bothered if he gave DS and BC a 10? He gave other anime like SNK, F/SN:UBW, Kaguya-sama a 10 too you know? and why did you just pointed out that he's a 'jealous DS's fanboy'?? You're the one who speading hates here.. Grow up and accept different opinions. |

| I hated it initially. So much so that I bailed after episode 2 or 3 when it was currently airing. The comedy killed it for me. So unfunny and there was way too much of it. I decided to give it a shot again this month as I had some free time and... I still felt the same way I did back then, lol. Re-watched the first few episodes and the comedy was still ruining it. However this time around I felt that I should give it more of a chance to win me over, and then the restaurant scene happened. That fucking took me by surprise... How a show that felt really goofy and annoying up to that point depicted a scene that was graphic and cruel. From then on bit by bit the show won me over with it's not really great but still likeable cast and awesome battle scenes. Mappa did such an incredible job animating those fight scenes. To be honest, I thought it would never win me over as I'm someone who places more importance on story than visual flair, but this show was so strong in that aspect that it made me overlook its shortcomings. |
| I'm nearly done rewatching it, and while it's not quite a 1/10 level like I previously gave it, still a depressingly dry show for me. Action aside, characters have no chemistry besides the part with the Yuji and Todo tag team (hell the main trio together are so bland and boring, particularly Nobara), below average quality of villainous characters, the storytelling and power scaling still leaves a lot to be desired, and more. Little bits and pieces improved for me but still nowhere enough for me to actually find it even average, let alone good. |

Dude how am I going to "accept his opinion" if he's not even explaining why he dislikes it. the power system is basically the same as tokyo ghoul and naruto, it's just stupid power ups yeah but it's not even an opinion anymore tbh. |
