Those sweeet, sweet fights were out of this world. It was amazing seeing those static action panels animated into fluid action scenes.

As an anime, it doesn’t do anything revolutionary. But as a shounen? Freaking SOLID bro. It does everything it needs to do right, and then blows it out of the water. Characters, fun, animation, I don’t even need to say anything. It just gets the job done x10 and makes all other shounen sit down

It's a very solid battle shounen anime with great production value much like KNY and BHA. I personally don't find any of these three to be on the level of HxH, OP or FMA but I would say that JJK comes closest to them because it has the most interesting special power concept/system and the lowest number of obnoxious characters (pretty much just Toudou and another yet to be revealed character from the manga). Would easily recommend it to anyone who likes the genre.


Im kinda curious about what character yet to be revealed do you mean because none comes to mind tbh and i find Todo to be one of the best and most memorable/charming characters imo, he is soo far away from being a Bakugo, Mineta or a Zenitsu.


Oh I just don't like characters like him in general. He is an eccentric character that some people probably find charismatic, funny and badass but to me he just comes off as cringy, unfunny and clumsy. My opinion of him improved during the ending of the Shibuya arc though, and I think that his innate jujutsu technique is pretty nice. The other character I find annoying is
but neither of them are as insufferable as Mineta, Aoyama, Zenitsu, Inosuke and Bakugo for example.

Started out good but quickly devolved into just fighting for the sake of fighting. Dropped this shit for good. That's all.

It was okay, definitely carried by the animation a lot. But the fights felt kinda bland, I was getting hyped more in Mushoku Tensei where fights were much shorter than here.
Kimetsu no Yaiba had much better fights than Jujutsu, however the comedy there was the worst one I've ever seen.

I would just like to say that comparing it with Death note and AoT is not a good comparison as they are not battle shonens.

Just gonna correct a mistake here, AOT is a battle shonen. It is published in a Monthly Shonen Magazine for a shonen demographic. It involves fighting titans and other people to progress the storyline, and while it has some mature themes often not present in other battle shonen, it is most definitely one.

Death Note on the other hand, while not being a battle shonen, is also a shonen manga published in Weekly Shonen Magazine for a shonen demographic.

Eh, i respectfully disagree regarding the fights, i know at the end of the day is a matter of preferences, but i really believe JJK fights are far superior than KnY. There is far more variety of habilities and their usage, a more though out power system, more ambitious choreography, and overall more tactical and complexity in them, animation is just the cherry on the cake.

KnY fights are great, but are kind of repetitive (specially in the manga, where most of the panelling quite dull) everything is reduced to "something something slash" or "something something lightning slash" or get beat up and then "something random flashback something fire slash" , it doesnt help that there is a lot of exposition for such simple actions.

It's good, but not great. Considering the hype, I definitely expected more

How tf is this show #32 here and #19 on Anilist? People think this is a god tier anime or something?

It wasn't really unique in any way but it was still done incredibly well. JJK on its own is fine, the characters are great, the story is really good despite not being the most unique in some ways. As for the anime, it was done extremely well. The pacing was well done, the voice acting was great, the art and animation was really nice too. My only complaint would be the music/OSTs, which was kinda mediocre tbh. Overall great show though, despite not being the most unique

I found the fights to be good especially Maki's fight but


everyone in the show acts so badass that its hard to like at times its probably why useless miwa is my favorite character cause she actually admits to being useless and weak and gets as depressed as much she simps over Gojou

also on Gojou I found him to be way to talkative that it became slightly annoying but he still was relatively okay in my books and I liked this scene with him


I really really just wish most of the characters didn't act 100% badass all the time it feels like their is literally no character personality balance everyone is a badass, hardass, smartass, jackass, or asshole in JJK

which is why I really like Miwa only person I relate to on that show
. Those that you say to none without, they have more characterization than the character of the August who apart from the drama politico does not have any more writing, jjk here what of the exorcists a profession which makes mad


I never said the characters are badly written or characterized dude I just feel like theirs a total lack of character balance that’s different than saying oh a character has bad writing it’s just that tit just feels like every character is badass and it bores me
Me their is no balance of personalities among characters something that even demon slayer had

Also I never said none of them had characters or personalities just that theirs a lack of balance in the show

The thing is that the breathing styles in KNY are basically just different sword techniques with nothing supernatural to them so they end up being different types of strikes/slashes numbered 1 to X. I also find them very boring and inconsistent because at times it is stated that they have some actual elemental effects even when used by humans (for demons it's understandable), but those effects are almost never properly explained (i.e. how is the water/lightning/fire and so on actually generated?).

If JJK was a seinen then I think it will be more enjoyable. I like it but I feel more action less comedy wise. That is just how I feel.

i think it's a great shounen show

it takes some of the usual shounen tropes and executes them well

wish there were more downtime and slower pacing, more interactions between the trio, but i know people would also call it boring if there were too much SoL stuff between hype arcs.

Fuck you, The Promised Neverland Season 2 is very overrated, pointless, underwhelming and get hate by people which getting lower score rating (I say it has only 6.12 score rating) than Jujutsu Kaisen TV anime 8.76 MAL score rating I've seen! You think JJK is trash and boring anime? I don't get your post forum despite you dislike it and you will become TPN2 trashy and cringy anime level. Troll and cringe forum lol..

The Promised Neverland Season 2 is one of the worst and huge disappointment of the anime year 2021. Here is TPN2 MAL uninspired and underwhelming score rating with negative and unfavorable anime review:
https://myanimelist.net/anime/39617/Yakusoku_no_Neverland_2nd_Season

Everyone has shared own opinions and not full of people like JJK, but I believe that it will become successful and epic fight moments such as Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and Vinland Saga since it's finished airing and already to produce prequel anime is Jujutsu Kaisen 0 anime movie.

It's a decent one. Fun to watch but there's nothing beyond that and I'd probably never rewatch it. If there's a second season, I'd probably invest time in it though.

don't worry the story in s2 gonna change your rating number from 4 to 10/10.

I hope so , the story actually got better by time , but at the first +10 episodes) it was so generic , predictable and boring (extroverted mc , cold introverted rival , mc gains power and becomes half human half demon ...)

Battle shonen for me is any show in which the main story progresses with fights and fights are the main attraction of such shows like JJK for a recent example. However, AoT has left that premise. Now I might be little bit biased and blinded by that as well but it's just a personal take.

Lmfao. You must be blind to not see the drop in quality in both the respective 4th seasons of Haikyuu and BnHA.


There has never been a drop in bnha quality. Sure we didn't see the best season, but in no way was there a drop in quality ever in bnha. I think Haikyuu did for 1 or 2 episodes tho.


There was a drop in quality in the 4th season of MHA due to them also working on the movie. You can see it in the fight of lemillion vs overhaul. Even other fights just didn't had the impact that the previous seasons' fights had.

The whole of Haikyuu 4th season felt off. It just wasn't the same Haikyuu that was for the first 3 seasons. The exciting match choreography, the fluid animation with dynamic camera work, the consistent character models, etc were all that were missing from the 4th season.

Now I might be little bit biased and blinded by that as well but it's just a personal take.

“main story progresses with fights”
I’m pretty sure that AOT’s main story progresses through fights as well, not all of it, but most of them. Example includes what happened in episode 5/6 of this season with the Titans fighting or even in the previous seasons where 80% of the battles occurred. I can also include other examples but that would be more spoilers.

“fights are the main attraction of such shows”
Now, fights are also one of the main attraction for AOT as well you know. People go berserk whenever Levi/Mikasa or any character fight each other or against Titans. It’s just that alongside the fighting, political and deep themes are weaved together as well.

For me, AOT have never left the battle shonen category. And it’s still the best that genre/category/demographic have ever offered.

I can agree, but I also don't.

The fights, the combat system, the lore. All amazing and well-made. I could really rate JJK a 10 for how great those fight scenes are.

But the time they spend outside, when they show leans more towards SoL. It becomes horrendously boring, and the only decent part is the comedy, but it blends in with all that useless SoL.

I love the comedy bits, almost as much as I love the badass action scenes courtesy of MAPPA.

For a time, I couldn't stop watching Yuuji and Nobara dance around a bonfire derpily singing "what are we gonna do"...were there really SOL moments in JJK though?

It's aite.


Season 1 had some epic Gojou scenes displaying his Jujutsu techniques.

But besides that, it really isn't all that special.
I didn't really feel connected to the characters all that much (well, except for Gojou. He's already established lol).

That might change if I started reading the manga tho.

That's what I did for Demon Slayer.

When watching an anime, I don't expect anything but enjoyment. Actually I'm surprised because the anime studio did pretty good job. Really. Fight scenes animation was insane. MAPPA's other jobs have good fight scenes too but JJK's was the best. I'm not fun of fight scenes btw, anyway. And I really like watching Yuuji. I'm thinking other shounen's MCs but I don't think I did see a MC like Yuuji. I like his mental state. Actually I always wanted to see a main character like Yuuji. I'm happy and totally satisfied.

hmmm I'd agree but I won't say it's better than the first 24 episodes of HxH or One Piece. It's still great regardless but that's a bit of a stretch there mate.

Jujutsu kaisen if freaking disappointing..
Itadori didn't even turn into Sukuna one after that one fight scene.
I thought it would be interesting in the ends, but the story ended without any lead, so i'm not looking forward to the next season.
I'm looking forward to MAPPA only because of chainsaw man because its gonna be a great anime or maybe greater than AOT or jujutsu kaisen(Maybe).

Hope they don't mess it up...
