| JJK is a very frustrating show to watch. The production is top-notch (though it's never worth the mistreatment of the staff that MAPPA is so guilty of), but the actual story is lacking. The reason I say frustrating is because Gege is clearly capable of good writing, there are bits and pieces of it strewn about the clutter of mediocrity. He can breathe life into some characters in a way that feels effortless and natural, but then he drops the ball when it comes to trying to develop or add depth to others. Much of this season was contrived action for action's sake, and that led to a lot of stretched-out and weightless moments. Jujutsu Kaisen is a series without an identity; I don't get the sense it knows what it's trying to be and I can feel the story fight itself. The fact that the Shibuya Incident was the hyped-up arc it was astounds me. It had good beats to it, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't say that was a majority of it. |

People here talk about problems with Mappa, as if that is the only issue with JJJK S2. To be brutally honest, Hidden inventory Arc was great and Shibuya Arc was shit. Manga readers f***ed us over again, just like they overhyped ds and sxf. This season doesn't deserve the score it currently has. Probably 7-7.5 is where I would put it. If this the best jjk has to offer than in worried about jjk's future. I initially thought JJK was much better written than DS, but now I think both are on the same level i.e., trash shounen and the fanbase has the gall to say that it is better than HxH.
| @SiGow very well put. This season felt very uneven. It hasn't connected with me. |
| Overall really liked it, but in the back of my mind there's still a lot of mixed feelings. I'll have to re-watch it some time. |

| @Sukmadii Bro wtf are you on lmao? Responding to me in all these threads. Let me just get everything clear to you right here. youre really a fraud if you think eps 17 was bad its literally best animation in jjk,and did you blind? Firstly, learn you grammar before talking to me. "Did you blind?" You can't even fucking write this sentence properly and you are saying Im blind. Also, pls don't call me a fraud, as I probably has rewatched JJK S2 FAR more times than you. I have rewatched ep 17 alone 10, or even 20 times already. I have also rewatched all major episodes this season numerous times. I tried to change my own opinion about ep 17 but in the end its still a badly directed episode. Ep 17 has bad directing, but I never said it has bad animation. Not only you can't write, you also can't read. The train fight in EP 17 had no context whatsoever, and its filled with confusing scenes like Mahoraga's size changes (which weren't in the manga). When Mahoraga threw the train, the train's dimension and size is completely wrong relative to the building. Even when Mahoraga held the train, the train is still illustrated wrong. I'm not talking about the artstyle, but rather the decision to direct mahoraga to do this is very bad. The airplane scene also had 0 context. The viewers had no idea how or why an airplane appeared out of nowhere. They also don't understand HOW Mahoraga is on the airplane IN THE FIRST PLACE! Mappa also didn't explain why things are flowing in the sky, like the bricks and car. Mahoraga does NOT have this ability in the manga. At the end of Sukuna's domain, Mahoraga was supposed to be on the ground after suffering heavy slashes, before getting finished off with Fuga (Just like in the manga). However, the anime changed that completely and it made no sense why Mahoraga can be finished off by Fuga if he was still perfectly fine and standing. Ep 17 has bad directing & weak artstyle, but the animation is good. I will give it that. If you think Ep 17 has GOOD directing, how about you PROVE it to me using FACTS?Change my mind by explain to me the points I made above. ep 8 was not that bad It seems like you are the blind one here. How many times have you rewatched ep 8? Once? I suggest you go back and rewatch the grasshopper fight in ep 8 before coming back and talk to me. If you think ep 8 is actually decent, you gotta check your eyes because I don't even need to argue with you on this. eps 14 its literally the worst eps in jjk but you dont think that eps was bad? No, I do think ep 14 is bad. It has one of the worst animations along with ep 8. I said this in another thread but you didn't see it. Doesn't matter, now that you know what I think. |

| @Sukmadii Also dude, you need to STOP being so triggered by people's opinions or facts. You are not the only one who loves JJK and not everybody who comments about JJK are HATERS. You just can't seem to get this fact to your head and acting like a kind by going crazy responding to me and others. You need to chill. |
