Watching Jujutsu Kaisen has destroyed my standards for anime and now every other new action show looks trash
| For me personally, because I've seen so much anime, I thought Jujutsu Kaisen was painfully underwhelming and uninteresting. Definitely try to expand your horizons, you may be surprised in what you find. Keep in mind that visuals aren't everything. |
| this has happened to me with berserk and with many anime that are considered the fathers of seinen. honestly this is because a fight becomes so well done so very well adapted that when you see an anime that is made to be average or to simply entertain at the very least. it bores you so much that you no longer see anime as enjoyable but as more boring. it's like watching chapter 14 of berserk and then watching the second chapter of K ON. they are two completely different things and one bores you more than the other. this can be solved by watching a lot more anime and getting used to the typical genres and not just one. sincerely I see a little bit of everything although I love seinen |
 |
| JJK is another Demon Slayer for me, it looks good but that carries it. The fights and animation are nice, but everything else sucks. I couldn't even begin to tell you what's going on in either JJK or Demon Slayer. I still rate them kind of highly because they are enjoyable to watch, but they're far from being something I would praise very much. |
 |
| JJK is great and all.... but nothing can ever truly be so good that everything in comparsion looks trash. i will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant no anime has action as good as jjk, and that is actually pretty reasonable. I suggest trying Akudama drive, It's clearly a small step below in terms of budget, but the style and talent is there. Mob psycho 100 is another option, s2 in particular is probably the best looking tv anime i have seen when it comes to action. ep5s2 is just orgasmic for animations fans. similar things can be said about one punch man s1. You could also just say fuck it and watch Either spiderverse, arcane or castlevania. |

Jujutsu Kaisan of all anime lol. If you named Vinland Saga or Attack on Titan I would have agreed.
| @ZXEAN Hes talking about action though. and i argue that overall jjk beats both of these in terms of action. AOT s1-3 would be at least comparable, but i still wouldn't put it above jjk in terms of action. |

| Fitting for a battle shonen fan to care the most about animation instead of good story and characters (which, psst, JJK lacks). But glad you enjoyed it nonetheless. |

| There are plenty more good anime. I understand that feeling when you have reached that point of satisfaction and can't bring yourself to like or watch other anime, but that will eventually passed through times. Sure, nothing can beat it but as time goes by, there will be anime that become attractive to you as you discover more and more |
  ๐๐ผ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐๐ด๐๐ด - NOT your usual shounen anime - Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG - Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons - Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers - BIG patience for its 'slow' start |

@Cestlavie_ Yeah...I have seen all of them except for Fate/Extra and that weird ass Illya shit. The fights in Fate are amazing but I still prefer JJK because I love the creativity they have with hand-to-hand combat. I will say Achilles vs Chiron deserves a honorable mention that was fucking wild.

| Well....Sucks for you. Time to pack it up. Nice knowing you for this one post I've seen of yours. |

Its posts like these that remind us of why the term shounen-tard was made.
| @RobertsahDHDA It's posts like this that remind me that the internet has made people so stupid, they think adding "tard" to something is clever. |
| Sword of the Stranger had better fights imo |
 |
| If Jujutsu Kaisen your standard for good anime, you’re limiting yourself, your intelligence, your view. Everything. I might be a One Piece fan, but I don’t recall standardizing OP as the peak, the cherry of the top of the cake that is known ANIME. |
 |
| While I would agree JJK is a great anime (it's one of my favorites tbh), it's far from the best one out there. You need to expand your tastes and expectations a little bit hahaha |

| I really recommend you to watch more anime then x12 |
| Don't worry, it gets easier after the first time. |

| Can't you just say: "Hey, I really liked this Show".....without bashing everything else, in the process? xD |

"Watching Jujutsu Kaisen has destroyed my standards for anime and now every other show looks trash"
1. OP was conditioned to like trash by Jujutsu Kaisen?
This is what I get from this title...how about "has heightened my standards" or something?
2. Jujutsu Kaisen is just fine, not that much out of the box.
"Spike vs Vincent"
1. Which one? In the church or in the last episode?
2. Those are far from the best animated scenes in the show.

| @alshu I said Spike vs Vincent, not Vicious. The fight on the watch tower had some of the best martial arts choreography I have ever seen in an anime. |

| I was wondering what they were gonna mention about the show when I read the title, but it's yet another "blah blah blah FIGHTS blah blah FIGHT blah blah blah BATTLE blah blah FIGHT blah blah COMBAT blah". |

@DarkShame2 Can you recommend me action anime hidden gems with a similar quality to JJK?
| @Dragosama A lot of people were blown away by Hitori no Shita season 3 a couple years ago, specifically this fight scene: Of course, flashy fight choreography shouldn't be conflated with animation quality, per se. In many case, much more grounded, realistic movement can require just as much technical proficiency as the most bombastic fight scenes put out by studios like MAPPA and Ufotable. A good example of this would be Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai, a six episode 80s OVA that is generally overlooked despite being directed by Mamoru Oshii. While at first blush, it may seem like a poorly animated production, with very locked down storyboarding and character designs that will often include the joints of the characters drawn in. However, initial impressions like these can be deceiving. Take this cut for example, which was animated entirely by Mitsuo Iso: https://sakugabooru.com/post/show/138213 Notice how the character's move, particularly when it comes to the inertia of their actions. The self-shadowing is also really impressive as well, it's hard for an animator to be able to accurately create that kind of perspective which is why it's something you see ignored a lot in animation, even in stuff like JJK. And of course, given that this had a lot of the big names of the 90s anime industry early in their careers, and how it really solidified this sort of realism movement in the industry post-Akira, I would honestly say that Gosenzo is as important both from an artistic and historical perspecitve as something like JJK. Of course, if you let yourself fall into this mindset that something is your favorite thing, nothing is ever going to top it, and in fact it makes everything look like crap in comparison, you're really just setting yourself up for disappointment. It's a self-fulfilling prophesy, essentially. If you just end up shutting down your ability to think and tie yourself to the idea that "this is the peak of the medium", you're going to end up missing out on or not really appreciating a lot of really well made stuff. |

The Luffy vs Kaido fights in One Piece are as good as if not better than JJK's animation. For an anime that's been running since 1999 to have animation like this breaks literally all the rules out there. I don't know why more people aren't talking about how great the animation is. Now the story could definitely drag less. But if you aren't watching week to week, it's a lot less terrible.
Bleach Thousand Year Blood Arc has the best animation right now. Season 1 blew everyone out of the water and season 2 ended with some real crispy animation. It's nice to know all these years after Yu Yu Hakusho, Studio Pierrot can still animate better than pretty much anybody else. Sometimes.
Demon Slayer's Red Light District arc is pretty much the best CGI anime fighting I have ever seen. JJK still hasn't reached that level yet. And with the behind the scenes animator issues, I honestly doubt it will. But I would be happy to be proven incorrect.
JJK has pretty fights and MAPPA does CGI well. But I don't see how you can ignore all the little issues the animation has. In season 1 and 2. Sometimes it's literally subpar. Which is fine because these animators are literally killing themselves for our entertainment. Peeing in bottles, skipping showers for days and sleeping at work for weeks to give us SAKUGA. So a couple mistakes now and then are more than ok.
Most anime fans with tenure put Mob Psych 100 fights above every other anime. I personally don't put it there, but it is in my top 5. BONES really doesn't miss. Whether you go back to working on Knocking on Heavens Door, fast forward to Darker than Black (the first anime) or watch the last two MHA movies. I don't really put other animation above their work. Everyone else is just hanging out right next to them.
I took a peek at your list and you have watched some pretty great animation. I know it's subjective, but I REALLY don't get how you can put JJK on such a high level. But I guess it is what it is.
For the record, I don't think I have seen any fights in JJK more impressive than what The God of High School did. From an animation and fight point of view. If you add story and reasons for the fighting into the category, JJK ends up with the overall win. But I still wouldn't put it over Dorohedoro. Another MAPPA anime with amazing animation.
If you want my real honest to goodness opinion, I'm currently watching Sailor Moon S and I'm more impressed with the transformation sequences and finishers than I am with JJK's fights. That JJK fight was pretty excellent, and I expect things to get even better if all the manga people are correct. But putting a nothing fight against a nothing character up as the greatest thing ever when the really amazing stuff is yet to come is weird to me. But do you bro.

| @MFDOOMED I appreciate the reply. I think my disappointment with gear 5 was one of the main reasons I posted this. JJK is one of the few action shows that excites me with every episode, I don’t think I have ever been bored watching JJK. But yeah I’ve seen a lot of issues with MAPPA as a company especially with the huge drop in quality from the most recent episode. I feel terrible for the employees slaving their asses off to provide this content. MAPPA needs to drastically reduce the amount projects they take on. I’m surprised you said Sailor moon. I haven’t watched it cause magical girls aren’t my thing but it’s interesting to hear that since no one really talks about it. I also peeped the name One Beer is my shit. |

| One Punch Man S1, Demon Slayer S2, Fate Babylonia, Fate Heavens Feel are titles that objectively outclass JJK fights/animation. There are quite a few after that one can debate. Yhwach vs Yamamoto beats any JJK fight. Dragon Ball Super Broly fight is better as well. JJK is just okay at what it does. Not tryin to hate on the OP. To each their own. |

It just has the Demon Slayer effect where pretty compositing can hide the limitations, specially the increase in still frames during Separation. Akudama Drive is a better example of a Pierrot anime that has consistently good animation. |

Well, i am now triply thankful that i haven't touched the Fate series since the original initial Anime Adaption. i quite honestly do not need nor desire Toxicity within my Anime. i suppose that even"Today's Menu for the Emiya Family" is besodden with similar issues?!? i have long adored the impression that that spin-off series seems to so strongly imply... but have had very persistent reservations on giving it a shot all the same... |

| If you find this animation extremely good then you would probably lose your mind after seeing fate or demon slayer. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
