| This anime was not on my watch list but recently, I watched it because my friend recommended it for me and it was surprisingly good. The first episode was action-packed, the story was interesting and I was shocked about how the mc got his special power. I really did not see it coming because I never read the manga. From now on, I will definitely watch every episode of this anime. |
| Well that was pretty cool. The shounen core is intact and generic as ever, but I really enjoyed the main theme (occult), the atmosphere, the comedy, and the animation here. I have high hopes and I'm definitely looking forward to more. FxREEE said: The 3 webtoon adaptations are American (Crunchyroll) funded products made for a non-Japanese audience. These webtoon adaptations got literally no marketing in Japan. Also most people in Japan never heard of webtoons. In Japan, there was never any hype for the 3 webtoon adaptations. So basically, a Korean series was adapted by a Japanese studio for an English audience? Why? (btw, are they available to watch in Korean? I'm only finding Japanese and English) (also side note, you only have 12 posts and I've seen like 5 comments from you talking about this. Did you make an account literally just to correct people about it? I mean...you're allowed to do that I guess, I'm just wondering lol) |

| dunno but this anime remind me of Kekkaishi. |
  |
| It was a pretty good episode. As someone who has read and kept up to date with the manga, I really liked it. Many may disagree with me but I feel Jujutsu Kaisen is one of those series which is better animated. I also read a lot of action and adventure manga with a plethora of fight scenes but the manga focuses a lot on exposition which can be boring after a while and it's something that I want to see in motion rather than on a manga panel. Anyways, Sukuna is my favorite character and I'm glad I can see him in action. |
| 臭い- |
| Whoa, this actually gave me hype. I hope I won't end up getting disappointed. |
 |
| I read a few chapters of the manga, and then I put it on hold later on. I was pretty neutral about it because I assumed the series to have a classic shounen setup. That's why I also have a neutral expectation for the anime, and what a pleasant surprise it was. The action scenes looked slick and Mappa continues to deliver. I guess I will continue reading the manga then. |
 |
| It was kinda meh for me. 5.5/10. But I have a feeling the second episode will be better. I would have preferred a Chainsaw man anime adaptation instead of this to be honest. |
| The animation honestly blew me away. There are tons of subtle things they do in the background to keep the show visually dynamic, which aren't very apparent the first time around. |
 |
| A really great episode! I hope the anime maintains this quality for the rest of the season. |
| Some pretty generic shounen it seems. Don't need that. |
| It started out real gey asf and kinda like oof what I get myself into? but then after a good 10 minutes it picked up and I was drawn in into the world. It got better and better, Honestly l like the dumb and reckless vs the serious type so this was a fun time. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| the first tone (5 or 6 sec after the op start) i was like "wait,is this what am i thinking??", than after Eve singing i was "i f knew it, holy sh1t" and yeah the OP is f good ngl the op scane when the panda doing parkour is the best |

Shinuki_n_Reborn said: poemofdevil said: There were some elements that I liked such as the animation and the horror theme. However, the comedy is atrocious and it's ridiculous how the main character is able to adapt to the situation so easily. He's a regular high school student at the start of the episode and by the end he's flying through the air and beating up deadly monsters as if he's been doing it forever. How about some struggle in between all that? Whatever. It's literally stated that he isn't a "regular high school student", the scenes of him throwing the ball, being "famous" and running super fast weren't just for "laughs" was in order to show that he's not a normal teenager He's athletic? Is that really your argument? What I'm referring to is him never having seen a ghost before this episode and yet that doesn't factor into his decision to jump into combat as if he's a professional who has done it before. |

The show's explanation is that he remembered his grandpa's dying words, which motivated him....but yeah, that felt a bit weak to me, too. Personally, though, it's something I can overlook. |

| Clean animation and I like the art. Good first episode overall and the premise is a lot more interesting than most shounen nowadays. I’m in Ofc the MC already seems op af and has a super strong curse within him but his joyful personality isnt as annoying as most shounen MC so he seems tolerable. |
 |
| Opening visuals are gorgeous. Overall episode was pretty enjoyable as well. Hoping it keeps up for the rest of the series. |
| That was dope, it got me hyped honestly |
 |
| Nice first episode, it’s nothing special or original but I enjoyed it. I hope the characters won’t become annoying like in Demon Slayer or My Hero Academia, let’s hope so. |
 |
| The people who find the animation disagreeable need to take a second look at the focus they've placed on depth of field - specifically the layered backgrounds, 3D shifts, and unique angles. See: The monster eye to camera shift to window breaking scene (beautifully done) The monster breaking through the wall with the camera pulling back as it lands If a second examination of those kinds of things aren't impressive, you can go back to your low budget still-frame powerpoint animations ala Cop Craft. |
|
| Yess my #1 anticipated fall 2020!!! Listened to a podcast about the show and have been impatiently waiting since ITADORI IS AMAZING YESSS HE IS THE MAIN CHARACTER IVE BEEN CRAVING FORRRRR amazing first episode, amazing art style, love the concept and plot of the story, etc etc etc. I laughed a couple times and remember every little detail :) Couldn't have asked for more... except getting all the episodes at once.. heh |
 |
| The dude literally transformed into the Demi-Fiend. Guess he needs to reject YHVH now. Really good animation, that´s all I can say. Nothing else really stood out to me, but the design of the dude with his eyes covered is...interesting to say at least. The protagonist have an interesting personality, but I guess his superhuman background comes from either a good family of exorcists, or he is half-demon/your typical shonen troupe about genetics. |
| Pilot episode and it's already damn interesting. Ya boi MAPPA flexing them animations was superb as always. The personality of the MC is what I was also expecting. Also, the character design of the first monster here is nicely done. Cannot wait for more. |
 |
| The art style and animation are amazing, especially in the opening (by Eve, jay - I love Eve)! Very interesting first episode. I enjoy the curse monster designs, which is rare tbh. Let's see how this one turns out :) |
There's no possible way you can steal my heart    I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy |
| Ohhh!! This is interesting! It lives up to the hype! I like it! The MC guy looks like the adult Natsu lol (Fairy Tail) and also he is always absent minded XD |
 |
| From what i heard/seen this series is supposed to be SO GOD DAMN GOOD... And Yeah, i liked the first episode, but just that... Im sure this series is going to be in the top ones, and it maybe end being the Top One of the Season, but... just because, from what ive seen in this new season... 80% of the series are truly dissapointing or boring. 4/5 for this Episode. I really hope it gets better, to have something else to watch. |
| I watched this back in September 19 but forgot to reply, well, so far it's ok. The pacing seems smooth and it looks like it'll be a decent or good adaptation. It's a typical action shounen jump series, but I like things like that so it'll be okay. So far, it's good. 7.4/10 or 7/10 so far. Looking forward to it. EDIT: I hope this doesn't become the next The God of Highschool. It seems like a decent or good show, please for the love of god, if any one of you decides to say that it's going to be the best series of 2020, just stop, please. |

| Pretty solid first episode. Really enjoyed the comedy and direction. But I'm not sure how I feel about the MC eating the thing and becoming overpowered. It doesn't seem to be a wise decision for the start of the show. But I can easily be wrong |
 |
| That's some very good animation from MAPPA. I am impressed with those smooth movements on the fight scenes, and they really did a good job on immersing the atmosphere of this episode. This is already being hyped and on its to be the top anime of the Fall season so I'm hoping it don't disappoint. |
 |
| Damn this reminds me of the time when I used to actually enjoy seasonals and not drop them on their first eps. Animation and voice acting is also no doubt great. |
❝Kabo-chan is ran by the MAL staff team and does not respond to individual comments made on her profile.❞ I was immensely devastated. |
| CGI panda. Ok now I'm interested |
It's not CGI, it's key animated by Bahi JD. |
Alrighty, cheers for clearing it up! |
| The show is still at its early phases, the characters and story still to build... but episode 1 is doing great. FYI I've watched Jujutsu Kaisen early when Toho Animation pre-aired it through Youtube for the fans. And now here we are... 7/10 for that episode because the character designs still need some work according from the manga. The action scenes were good, the bg sounds, though not MIA level of sound creation but the themes of the soundtracks just hits different. The OST by E ve was superb, waiting for episode 2 :-) |
| I don't normally watch anime as it airs, but I'm so thankful for this show catching my eye. That was an amazing first episode, left my blood pumping. Can't wait for more!! |
| This is a question for the people who read the manga, so use spoiler tag. In what (if anything) this diverges from your tipical supernatural shounen? Because i tell you, while i enjoyed the first episode, it´s not gonna win a prize for the most original story (at least from 1st ep). How many times we´ve seen the trope -Guy has powers -guy uses powers to save soneone -guy gets recruited by mysterious organization to learn to use said powers (and yes, even the being possessed isn´t new) So, does this diverge from the norm or is the same old story? |
| RamaTheStrandedOtaku Nier and MGS fan. |
| MAPPA really did a good job this year but I hope that they do not Rush this Anime like GOH!! This episode didn't seem really good to me except for that Fight scenes but I know the Road ahead will be SWEET |
