I was thinking the *exact* same thing! |
| Solid first episode, will see how this goes. |
| Thats quite the sight to wake up to. Pretty catchy opening and looks like we will have quite a large cast as well. Interesting injection of comedy in the form of the rugby field and the sc presidents interactions. Itadori's strength sure was unreal. That was sound advice that the gran gave before his passing. So the cursed object contained a monster huh. Still what a dramatic entrance that Itadori made on to the field. The combat between Itadori/Fushigoro and the curse though sure featured an excellent combination of tension and desperation that paved the way for his awakening. Overall a pretty strong opening ep that featured an excellent blend of character intro, world building, tension and combat. |

| I hate the franchise but man, that OP was superbly done. I can't even complain it's one of the best I've seen this year. |
| The first couple of minutes where a bit chaotic but then things clicked into place in the second half. Entertaining so far. |

| That was incredible! MAPPA is absolutely killing it with their animation lately and this is no exception; amazing fight scenes and, even though I love the rough art style of the manga, they've done well to keep the characters appearances the same but cleaner. That voice cast too... Yuuma Uchida, Juuichi Suwabe, Junya Enoki, Yuuichi Nakamura; that is A list casting! I can't wait for next week's episode; Gojou vs Sukuna is gonna be a fight to remember! |
 |
| Better than GOHS animation imo + this time we actually have a decent good plot and story. hype |
| MY GOD MAPPA YOU'RE AMAZING They did the Manga more than justice holy shit |
 |
| Now this show has sure left an impression so far. Animation was superb. Story looks good. It's a good introduction and Mappa has already left a better impression here than it did with GOH. It was pretty obvious that Yuuji's grandad passed due to the curse he was carrying, but that was still pretty sad. I take it Yuuji's parents are already gone, atleast that's the feeling I am getting from that conversation. I love this whole business of curses and what happened at the end. That looked absolutely sick. Preview really makes me hyped, can't wait to see more! |
 |
| First time I heard of this series, but I definitely want to see the next episode now |
| Now this is how leave a first impression for a new series. This series has a likeable protagonist with an interesting plot and a good combination of action and humor. I can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| MAPPA stay winning folks |
What a beautiful Duwang |

| What a beautiful Duwang |
| Holy shit, the animation in the OP was some of the best I've ever seen. Hopefully we see quality like that in the show itself. Song is an absolute banger as well. Definitely one of the best OPs of the year. |

| Nice start! Already interested in the story. Hope it won't disappoint. |
 |
| Good first episode, the story promises well and the protagonist seems interesting, I have high expectations on this work, I hope they will be rewarded. |
| That directing doesnt feel right at all. The scene where the grandpa died felt so off. He was rotating and talking without any problems and suddnely dies of old age. Lol |
| This was a crazy good opening episode. With the top notch animation,art and hopefully a good story to come I can say that this would probably be one of the best shows of the season. Gotta say I'm a little freaked out by the cursed spirits but that's ok.....I'm still invested in this show anyways. Can't wait for next weeks episode!! |
 |
| This was great, I really liked it. The visuals were great and the soundtrack was awesome too. Comedy was amusing and the action is very appealing with the way it's directed. Itadori seems a little nonchalant with the way he acts but he does care for the people around. The awakening at the end was very cool as well. Looking forward to more. thebrentinator24 said: I think someone else already pointed this out, was how Yuji was able to fight pretty much like a superhuman even before eating the relic lol. Idk I just thought it was odd for a seemingly ordinary high schooler to be able to do all those acrobatics and fend off these monsters. Whatever though, I can overlook that, can't wait for the next episode. I assume there's something special about him and his body. His grandfather does hint at him having a 'strong body' and he kept trying to tell him about his parents. |

| Hi |
| Not going to lie, I find the first episode quite entertaining with the witty humor but also the supernatural elements. Some of the episode also gave me Bleach vibes. Yuuji is a bit of airhead, kinda opposite of Megumi. With 24 episodes, there should be enough time to develop his character. I also do kinda like how the episode threw in bits of info about the supernatural content but without going overboard. It felt just enough so far to get new viewers to understand the premise and story. Animation looks decent so far, hope the studio can keep it consistent. OP song is also pretty dope. |
 |
| Another Mappa hit incoming. Animation and story were clean. |
| Good first episode this anime looks promising |
 |
| I had started to read this last year after some buzz then stopped after a couple of chapters due to hearing it was getting a anime i still hear good things about this whenever it pops up so gonna refrain from talking too much about it outside of the Op and cuts of animation seem really fucking good but i'm not sure if it's just the OG art style that looks a bit jarring to look at with very exaggerated long faces and that hasn't changed here lol , and seeing it in motion its even more clear Yuji had some kind of inhumanly strong powers before the demon finger eating "to be explained at a later date" looking forward to seeing how this turns out of all the common demon hunter/like jump shows this seems to be a really well praised one guess we gotta wait till it get it's "York New" arc |
 |
| I was kinda worried because I heard (don’t quote me on that) that this show was directed by the same guy that did God of Highscool. But everything looks pretty great so far. Visually, this show actually looks great! |
   |
| Went blind into this just because it thought that it might be interesting. One thing for sure, I already love this MC - full of energy, strong and very chill at the same time. Also, grandpa's death took me so off-guard I actually laughed at that scene. Like, they just introduced him and then he up and died? Right there just like that. Author sure doesn't like to fuck around and waste time I guess. |

| looking great so far! hoping it lives up to the manga |
  |
| That was pretty good, if you give MAPPA enough time and episodes they can surely more than deliver. That OP was gorgeous it was so smooth it's insane, that OP really hyped me up and the episode did not disappoint. Itadori seems like a really good protagonist freakishly athletic too lmao. I liked the comedy too, it was great. Looking forward to see more of this Gojou dude in the next ep. Overall that was pretty hype. |

| it's a full-blown jump show. We can't have a dude with glasses without a closeup of him pushing them against his nose. Can't have a female without sexualizing it and groping it. Can't have a male lead with gifted powers without him making particularly banal declarations like "dying is sad.", Mappa's animation doesn't really bring much to the table when they're focusing on over-animating groping, running down hallways, or shouting particularly dramatically. It's weird. They're in the middle of a supposed action scene, dude is being crushed by some kind of Cronenberg monster, and the animation budget is going instead into the guy twenty feet away dramatically swinging his arms around while shouting. I'm not even sure how the big ol' monster attacks. It grabbed the dude, then we cut to the outside of the building where it shows lights flashing, and then he explodes out of a wall. At this point, there are zero more energy blasts whatsoever. No idea how it was killed either for that matter since we ascribe to the usual Jump "dude stands there and poses while the enemy evaporates" school of cool. I'm probably coming off a bit more negative than I actually feel but seriously nothing in the premise or direction change my mind that it is a generic shonen anime with nothing special, take away the good animation and surely and it surely be like black clover or any anime that pierrot produces. |
| I really liked the animation, I don't get why people are complaining about it... Great first episode! I haven't read the manga but I think this will be a hit for sure! Hopefully it won't go downhill from here * fingers crossed * |
| Oh wow, that was really fun! Visuals are awesome, too. I'm really going to have fun with this one. |
| Pretty good so far and the characters seem fairly likeable, I'll keep watching it. |
| Favourite Anime- Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin First Anime- My Hero Academia/Boku no Hero Academia |
| As a manga reader, I was so excited the whole time! When the opening played I thought that it was a bit too soft for the series but surprisingly it did catch up to my expectations. The animation was really amazing! They even showed J****i with the gang! I recently finished volume 4 that's why it got a bit emotional. Can't wait to see Gojo in action!!! |
| --AbiSa-- |
| well that was absurd or something hmm |
 |
| An interesting first episode. MC is insanely strong jumping through the fourth floor window. |
 |
| Yo im liking the animation! Solid 1st ep. Im excited for this series its gonna be great |

| Visually spectacular. Visually, I think I loved just about everything I saw. Because I've yet to read the manga, I figured the main character was going to be a serious type of guy, sort of like Ichigo who he resembles. But instead, he seems fairly silly and doesn't seem to care about much. I wasn't fond of how seemingly wasn't too beaten up watching a family member die in front of him, or how he didn't really seem to care that his friends were in danger. It makes me not care too, and therefore I don't have investment. I hope that changes as the story goes forward. It wasn't really explained why he has super human abilities, but I'm sure it will be explained in time. Did not expect it to end where it did. I like the darker tone this show has. Looking forward to more. |
