@JIMMYxMONARCH oh yea that scene
this sequence is totally rushed
idk if it's style, but I don't rlly like that scene either


I am talking abt other scenes except this scene, train scene, and stairs scene
all of em except those 3 are goated in my opinion

As an animator myself, I appreciate their work and they at least made the whole eps (except those 3 scenes ofc) didn't looked like 4ds season 3

heck, even those 3 scenes still look good compared to 7ds s3

That's the only scene I didn't like (and the two you mentioned), otherwise the episode was fire 🐐🤝🏻

Liked the episode, but they are really really dragging this on. Not to mention the most annoying of cliff-hangers.
@MeanEYE cliffhangers exist so you all will watch the next ep

if you don't put a cliffhanger in your first episode, no one's gonna watch ur next episode since there's no question "what happens next" "how is he going to win"

If there's no cliffhanger, you just watch that episode, and done. You'll have no motivation to watch the next ep.

I think the thing I hate the most about Jujutsu Kaisen is how it so often tries to claim emotional punches it never earned... like, not even close.

Honestly, this. Between this, the absolute rollercoaster production quality this season, and everything being so dragged-out, I just lost all interest in the series. Fast forwarding episodes so I finish them in 5-7 minutes, because what even is the point of watching the fights, they're just gonna do another asspull at some random moment anyway - if they don't cut away from it to insert a pointless flashback or move to another fight or just end on another cliffhanger. The emotional manipulation is both too much and too obvious and I can't bring myself to care for any of it.

Fun fact: Toudou's VA is also Yamada Ichiro in HypMic, which I still find hilarious af.

The production quality just wasn't there... Which is a shame, since the plot is getting better each episode.

You never watched a show before? Cliffhangers exist in every show ever, why would an average watcher want to come back for the next episode if the problem has already been concluded?

Also dragging on? I want to know the anime you’re watching which has a faster pace than this 😭 this is the best paced arc or anything ever, every episode is action packed and meaningful, nothings being “dragged on” 💀
@namesrowan Hit the fanboy nerve much? Yes, they drag scenes on. The fact there's fast paced action doesn't change the fact it's cut in pieces and stretched over half a dozen episodes and filled between with filler content. And I did watch many shows which don't rely on flashbacks. Personally I am finding it incredibly cheap to show a flashback with the person before they show her dead. Emotional weight should have been built long time ago. Not skip the character for half the season and then throw many scenes to evoke emotions.

There were some parts of the episode where you can see visually that the animation was incomplete before the episode came out. Still, that final scene with Todo was animated very well. By the end of the season, I hope they will begin to finish the complete animations and have them rolled out by the time the Blu-ray is available in stores.
@thepokemask atleast in context of this ep those weird faces were in purpose the ad corrections got posted on twitter and from the looks of it the approach was a bit different

@HEBI_TAN That's not true. They have hyped this fight so much, even without the cliff-hanger at the end you'd still watch the next episode. Hell, they had so many cliffhangers they could skip doing so for the next season and people would still watch. Just having a good story is reason enough not to need cliffhangers, and they do have a good story. Animation alone makes you want to watch the next episode. Cliffhangers are a cheap trick for shows with poor story and boring animation. It's just a trope that's not mandatory

@MeanEYE this fight is one of the longest fight in the manga.
There's no way they can fill the entire fight in 1 episode. It will look very fast and unpleasing

@HEBI_TAN I know that. Didn't expect them to. But they keep chopping it in pieces and switching away from what people really want to see, which is Itadori. Although I've been told manga is the same way, which doesn't make it less annoying but shifts the blame away from animators.

A lot of dimming and ghosting this episode that got annoying, but nonetheless, a very well directed episode, and the return of Todo. Not gonna say much more for this episode, but it's amazing how the production is somehow still holding up. Full credit to the animators, as I say every single week. 120% potential.

Want a flawless 10/10 anime adaptation? Look no further. This episode by MAPPA is a masterpiece crafted in short amount time. Mahito's voice actor deserves applause for bringing unmatched tone and insanity. Stellar storyboarding and Todo's entrance with a perfect theme. In a nutshell, a tribute to quality and effort. MAPPA proves their prowess, delivering greatness under tight schedules. Mahito's actor adds depth, and the execution of storyboarding and Todo's entrance is spot-on. This episode sets the standard for top-tier anime. 10/10 – MAPPA deserves acclaim for this unforgettable experience.

So they changed the outro music or rather announcement music for the next episode back to the usual. Does anybody know why it was only different for the last episode? And also does anybody know the teacher who spoke the last sentence of the announcement outro?

Whoever was in charge of making that transition cut from the flash back to Nobara's Dead face, I have no idea how they sleep at night 😭😭

Like bro I was actually laughing and then they just cut to that while I'm still laughing 😭

This episode really digs out all the pain we've already been through by bringing it back up but then Todo comes back (Lowkey forgot he existed) to pick us back up and remind us all is not lost.

Overall a really great episode and it felt Movie Level again ❤️.

Let's hope we get all the last 3 episodes this year 🤞🏼

Exactly I feel people who still say the animation is bad are just trolling at this point like I don't even understand.

Sure in some specific moments it sometimes feel like they cut corner but when a scene has to hit it hits we had a lot of well animated moments like that in this episode.

The miwa scene made it feel like a whole movie honestly.

Can Todo improve his ability by clapping his ass instead of his hands? I think that will be much more effective because he can punch right after switching and doesn't telegraph his clap to the enemy (because he has thick pants)

The most emotionally impactful episode so far; from Mechamaru saying his final goodbyes to Miwa, to Yuji finding himself again, and with Todo's help, getting back on his feet.

Holy..the amount of peak in this episode, from the great itadori todo duo back, Miwa’s farewell to Mechamaru to itadori hitting the black flash on Mahito and remembering Nanami, that was amazing. MAPPA has been cooking a lot so far and their quality has been very unique, im sitting here seeing how unique this animation is. Now we’re 20 eps done, cant wait to see how they will end this.
