Ellenwitch said: That fight was great and epic. Much like the song that was with it. I'm gonna have to look for the song name honestly, cause will have to give it a listen a fair number of times. have you found it? |
| Another 10/10 episode. MAPPA really did this arc justice as a whole. 11/10 rating for the anime as a whole. Couldn't fault it at all. |

F9s said: It's not out yet, but multiple sources say the song is titled "REMEMBER" and is sung by Masato, the lead singer of coldrain. We'll just have to wait in a few weeks for the full OST to be released. Thank you so much, I really liked it |
| And thus ends the Origin of Obedience arc and he season as whole. This arc was touted by several manga readers as the strongest in Season 1, though I'd still give the nod to the Kyoto Goodwill Event, kinda easily. Though I would consider this the second best arc. Fushiguro's fight returned to just working off being cool like most of the earlier battles, which is disappointing after the Exchange Event focused more on abilities and strategies but it still looked cool so it's not like it failed in that regard. Plus, unlike previous battles, that fight/episode was supported heavily by more insight into Fushiguro. Of the leads, he's pretty easily the most developed at this point, and I find his disposition pretty interesting. Also loved the training scene with Gojo, particularly how it used the Baseball bunt to speak about his mindset. Something that seemed mostly for comedic and light-hearted being used to relate to Fushiguro's mindset was pretty clever. I don't think it really makes his incomplete domain feel earned tbh, but at least it looked cool so whatevers. The fight this episode was better, as it made stronger use of pre-established abilities with Nobara and conditions like with Itadori's poison resistance. It doesn't reach the level of the Hanami fight, or even really Mechamaru vs. Panda in that regard, but it's still nice to see stuff like that play off against varying abilities. I would probably consider this stronger than the Panda encounter regardless, if only because the brothers were interesting antagonist. The fact that they legitimately cared for each-other and tears were shed made the fight and consequences a lot more engaging for me, I loved how Eso's thoughts were that he absolutely shouldn't removed his decay but ends up doing it anyway before fully realizing it because it's more important to protect his brother, though he fails to do that anyway. His tears and Itadori's sorry elevated the fight quite a bit. And it was nice to see Nobara shine again, I really like her fighting style. As for Jujutsu Kaisen as a whole, it's cool. That was my takeaway from the beginning of the series and that's my takeaway leaving it. I don't think it's exceptional or one of the best Shonens (though it does have one of the best adaptions for a shonen) but it's solid at what it's going for. The only time my engagement or affection for the series raised about "cool shonen" was during the Kyoto Goodwill Event arc so hopefully a season two will continue in that direction. I hear a lot of great things about the Shibuya arc, though to be honest I'll likely read the manga before the second season ever comes out. 7/10. |
| this anime is better than expected, i enjoyed watching it a lot, some good characters too i liked Miwa the most tho hehe! i can't wait to see how strong yuji is gonna be in season 2 soo hyped thinking about it haha |
wlensmr said: BigBlueBash said: I haven’t actually watched KnY but why do you think it’s better? I just wanna know what the different aspects are since I’m planning on watching it.7.5/10. I can easily see why people enjoy this. I personally prefer kny. Good show. I guess the characters are more interesting to me. Demon Slayer is also an 8/10 so not that much difference. |
| Salute to the best audiovisual experience of the season. The final episode was truly the cherry on the top. Whoever took care of the musical side of things deserves a reward. The two-on-two match was sublime. Itadori was badass, but Kugisaki... She was something else. Terrifying (and oh so cool). |
| Wtf is wrong with those ratings lmaoooo. Anyway, phenomenal finale, I always thought the anime lacked at bit of those 'iconic' moments but this eisode showed exactly that, the visual and ost were in perfect harmony and I couldn't ask for more. 9/10 season for me, the most fun I've had for 6 straight months. |
| Yeah, at least I can say it got slightly better in the last 3 episodes. But in the end, Jujutsu Kaisen is another anime that embraces the flaws of the battle shounen genre, making its plot and characters painfully average. The production was indeed incredible, but I'm actually pretty sure MAPPA made a huge investment in here because the plot structure is the exact same from KNY, so it was a pretty safe bet that JJK would succeed. But why exact those type of narratives are being successful? The best deduction for this is that as long as the battle shounen public understands what's happening on the screen, they won't have problems with the story. They won't admit they have low standards in the plot, but claim GoH as an example of disappointment, as not liking that show was something that proved they have some standard for screenwriting. Different from KNY, I can't say JJK didn't try to have an actual plot, but anything that had some potential was thrown away, like Junpei's character. They would rather waste time with tournament arcs, and giving cringe tropes to secondary characters. Villains were even worse, as they give the most generic personality trait you can give to a villain ("I like doing bad things; it makes me happy *insert random psychopath face expression."). Other villains suffer the same mistake that KNY had (giving flashback close to their defeat). OST was meh. Just like the story, it was mostly trying to "look cool" rather than giving emotion to its viewer and failed to create tension. There are a few tracks that actually work, but nothing really worth the praise. In the end, if you like popcorn flicks like Transformers, Fast and Furious or Kong vs Godzilla, this anime is definitely for you. If you got bored in any of those movies because they failed to give an actual reason to care about what's happening, this will at best be a fine experience for you. 6/10 |
 |
| 5/10 i expected something good like kimetsu no yaiba but i got a generic shounen that lacks substance i'm utterly disappointed ... |
 |
| What a finale. Usually, the final episodes wouldn't be as hype if it's a mini arc to complete the season, but this episode was just a sight to see. And the buildup this season overall to make the next tale infinitely hyped. It's safe to say this has been on the best shonen, even the best series, to have come out recently that wasn't a sequel. Easy 10/10 for me, finna read the manga right now.  |
| I enjoyed seeing the fight from Eso's perspective accompanied by showing their backstory, it helped emphasize the "killing of two brothers" rather than just two curses part. Nobara's resolve during the fight was, as usually, astonishing. Glad we got to see Nitta and the rest of the characters even if for a small moment, those small scenes by the end made me look forward to the next season more. I will try to get around to reading the manga for now. Well, this was a proper ending episode to a fantastic season, even though there was no baseball involved. Might bump it to a 9/10 later (or not), it surely was great. And now I'm finally free. Have a good one, lads. |

| Really nice animation, bland characters with no remarkable traits or interesting personalities (Nanami is the only one that left an impression on me), overall boring plot/progression of events but with an entertaining villain. 7/10 |
| Another big shounen entered the stage, and with a damn bang! Basically, Jujutsu Kaisen was that type of anime where i started watching it, and i just couldnt stop, and so i binged it in one entire day x) Ngl, this gave me Kimetsu no Yaiba vibes all over again so it was definitely an awesome ride. The story was simple and really well executed,the characters were rich, even with the side characters getting their relevance and spotlight moments during the show, everyone was involved, and im really happy about that. I do have to say though, Satoru is best husbando, no homo, a character like no other xd Animation was flawless and the fights were pretty damn fluid. 9/10 easily, since Kimetsu i havent seen a Shounen show like it, but finally ive found something quite similar to it |

| It looks like the bots have found a means to spam lol, look at all those 1/5s. |

| Nobara and Yuji's team up is so good!!! I haven't sense a ship on this series but they're look good together too. Nobara is so cool, I love it.. it's rare to watch a series that heroine is not sexualize or they just exist for male protagonist as love interest. She can stand on her own. MAPPA surely love this anime lol I'm not fan of its story (I barely understand it, yes.. I'm dumb) but the animation of fight scenes is superb so I will give it 8/10. |

| Nobura absolutely rocked this episode, about time she got to shine like that. This was better than I thought it would be, so I'm looking forward to more. 7/10 |
 |
| I'm truly left in awe.. I just do not understand how Mappa was able to create such a banger of a production. I guess people didn't lie when they said that jujutsu was almost finished by the time it started airing. You could clearly tell that the schedule has been phenomenal. These last 2 episodes were the cream of the crop. They further elevated the art and animation. The last 2 episodes actually have been quite intriguing, even for someone like me who did not feel invested into this show at all. I'm finally getting warmed up with the 3 main characters. It's not like I disliked them before that but I just didn't really care about them. Guess season 2 is gonna have to wait though. First up is the movie and who knows how long it'll take for season 2 to follow up. I just hope that s2 won't be one punch man all over again. Cause the production of this show is a big big factor of its success imo. |

| Finally, a badass chick without fanservice; you go, Nobara! Loved seeing everyone in action with an ending that lets you know there is more to come. A solid 10 rating for me. |
| Fight scenes were superbly animated and there's a new key character, it is nice to see both yuuji and megumi's growth but for some reason i wanna see more of the Sukuna part, also Nobara is waifu. Overall lscore 7/10, wouldn't mind of a 2nd season |

| that double black flash scene was nasty af holy shit. sent them boys back to sleep |

| nobara can seriously get it. I've liked her since her introduction but this episode was really *chef's kiss*. god I love subversive female characters in anime. |

| When i started Jujutsu Kaisen i was actually 5 episodes late as i originally planned on skipping out on it, however the high ratings and mass talk of it online, eventually made me cave and i started. Needless to say i'm actually ashamed i almost skipped out on this anime, really big round of applause to MAPPA, absolutely grabbed Autumn of 2020 by the throat and slammed it to the floor. Overall the story so far has been excellent. Incredibly interesting plot with the idea of curses, Jujutsu sorcery and the world its set in, then following our mc Itadori as the vessel of a greater being, and almost learning about the world of curses along with him, meeting many different people along the way has been very captivating. Imo overall the author has done a great job at creating a world were there is a lot of room for new plot points down the line, they've already hinted at some interesting arcs down as well as character backstories that i absolutely cannot wait to see. Characters, loved them all. Each character felt like they had a unique personality to them with their own differences as well as a goals, however also having incredibly great chemistry with one another, and perfectly shown as well. Toudou and Itadori, the hidden duo i never knew could become the besets of friends, and closest of brothers, swept the spotlight pretty hard with how well they seemed to click together. The MCs Itadori, Fushiguro and Kugisaki are also good examples, they all seem to have very different personality's, but click with each other extremely well in situations. Main three MCs all seemed to be given the spotlight at one point, as well as certain side characters which i'm so happy about. Characters such as Toudou, Maki, Panda and Kamo IMO felt 100x more interesting from the addition of their backstory's alone. Obligatory fanboy-ing here, but i'm sorry, Kugisaki in the final battle of the season, idk what they gave her in that fight but half the shit she was pulling was fucking metal as shit and had me screaming. Loved every bit and definitely had me re-arranging favourites for a while, but before i embarrass myself further, Visuals, have to hand it to MAPPA here, the visuals in this anime were on point. Animation felt so consistent, all the fight scenes from the first to the last of this season, all looked fluent and well organised to such a high standard as well. Character designs felt different, thus making each one also more rememberable and unique in their own way, design of curses i felt they absolutely hit the nail on the head for that creepy supernatural feel from them, that i'm assuming they were aiming for. Overall credits given were credit is due, MAPPA take this W, it is well deserved. SFX / OST were all round good. Some of the OSTs in this anime were definitely bangers that added that extra effect to certain scenes. Both OPs and EDs i thought were good. All in all 9/10, solid overall anime that managed to balance a lot of plot points well and kept me hooked all the way through, having very unique characters and a great story behind each one, absolutely amazing and fluent animation / visuals as well as a great OST. Cannot wait for a Season 2 and what this anime holds for the future. |
 "yabe." |
| I already loved Nobara but these last two episodes really cemented her place in my heart. What a unit of a woman! Love how Sukuna's gaslighting Yuuji into thinking that everything is his fault as if Sukuna's not pretty much a literal Satan that attracts all kinds of curses to himself lol I've always felt that the other two members of the group lacked development but this last arc was great 9\10 for the final rating I kinda want to read the rest of the manga but I also want to wait for season 2... |
 |
| I had a blast watching this show. Amazing. Reminds me of my Big 3 days. 8/10 |

| Those 2 weakling brothers were special grades?? Anyways, decent season. More "good" than "bad", so I guess Ill give it a 7/10, though I honestly was going to give it a 6/10. |
 |
| A great end to the season, hope we get more in the future!! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| 8/10 , now I understand why this show rated so high, this is better than MHA and BC. The character relationship isn't childish and somehow relatable , and every arc has great mystery buildup. Kudos for the studio for making good animation and top tier directing |
| Хайде, хайде, хайде, това е първата зона, брато, първа зона, първа зона, добре, добре, добре, това става тук горе, отива тук горе, само спокойно, само спокойно... Ха, отдясно е, навсякъде отдясно отдясно къде е дясното ти о да добре добре добре тихо мълчаливо не успях да се съсредоточа върху това ЕХ ТЪПАК КОГАТО СИ БАВНО БАВНО ... ой е путката на моето момиче прасе куче, аз Чувствам се добре, о, мамо, *шамар*, какво е това госпожице татко- |
| Nobara is crazy! XD She definitely showed those two cursed brothers who's boss >w> And what a splendid finale! Too bad Sukuna was completely useless this second half for not showing any signs of himself and Yuuji have to do all the work without him XP Hopefully we'll see Sukuna in action next time :) This show has been a crazy ride for me and it passed my expectations. My score's 8/10 :D |

 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| Well after binge-watching all 24 episodes I too feel the show is overhyped and overrated. It's a good action show but not that great. They had the budget and good animation for the action sequences which is nice. The story was okay. I liked the concept of curses and the humor but it's too fast paced. Before I can fully understand one thing the story moves on to the next thing which leaves me somewhat confused. The other issue I had is the characters. Since the anime is very much plot-driven there's little development with the characters. This makes it difficult to connect and empathize with them regardless of their backstory and motivation to become a Jujutsu Sorcerer. In addition, Itadori's character felt bland compared to others. Even Sukuna had more personality than him despite his screen time. It's also weird how he goes from a normal highschool boy to a special grade slaying jujutsu sorcerer in just presumably 3 months despite having no prior experience. Nobara and Megumi were alright. Gojou is certainly the most interesting character and so is panda. I honestly like Mahito more than Todou. Mahito is inherently evil so his actions are understandable but Todou with his condescending attitude and fewer chromosomes is annoying to watch no matter how OP he is. Anyways I think the story is okay but they have to fix the pacing and work on character development. |
| Man Nobara was amazing!! She freaking killed it Her teamwork with Itadori was amazing too!! Overall, great anime~! ig the story is average? plus its incomplete so I can't say much yet But damn the production was amazing, it just elevated it by a lot The good animation increased the enjoyment so much |
