Review of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2

this anime is amazing. i cannot believe the level care and effort put into the animation, especially ep 17! mappa has done it again! i was beginning to doubt the mal userbase as they seem to give everything at least a 7, but man, even i have to admit, they were right about this one. one of the best adaptation of last year! once the second arc hits, man, it hits hard. some of the best animation since kingdom season 1, maybe even better! i dont know what else to say that hasn't already been said. all i can do is praise mappa for a trulyunique adaptation that takes the source material and elevates it to new heights

a must watch for anyone who enjoys iyashikei and shonen in general.

10/10

jk real review

what the hell happened?

the animation in the shibuya arc is okay at best and terrible at worst. clearly MAPPA have stopped caring about the quality of their productions and are solely focused on generating revenue. and why should they care? the season has been receiving rave reviews from nearly every major media outlet—including MAL, whose braindead userbase is eating up this half-baked garbage MAPPA is shitting out.

did we watch the same show? i genuinely cannot see how someone with a pair of functioning eyes could watch episode 17 think that it was even close to the quality of any of the season 1 fights. even the overall pacing and direction of the season is pretty hit or miss. some episodes feel like they're directed by completely different people.

the fate of MAPPA's other ips is looking grim too. the high praise that fans are giving this latest season of jjk will likely influence MAPPA's attitude towards vinland saga and chainsaw man. "why bother wasting money on high quality animation when we can shit out half colored storyboards and people won't even notice?"

actually ruined 4/10. first arc is great though
