Review of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2

Greatest hits battle-shonen but little lore development Ok, the first past arc started good, well-paced with some decent lore bits to settle in and it kept like this in the Shibuya arc until it turned out to be a nonsense power-scaling battle show for the fuck of it. So yeah, most episodes were purely made to show climax and fight scenes to power scale, even more, some characters, kill off some would-be-important-fellas, and repeat the cycle. The overall picture is good if you're into Battle Shonen, but I'd really like to see more world-building and depth of character development instead of nonstop fights for almost 10 episodes.I mean, at least Itadori had some protagonism after a while (and that's good), but still, this series needs more balance in between nonstop up-to-the-sky power-scaling fights with gorgeous Sakuga and proper lore pacing.

Speaking of which, we shall thank and hope for the best for Mappa's workers: they are overworked with tight schedules and now are prohibited from talking about their poor working conditions, it was a miracle this anime didn't break and yet, more anime with no decent pause are on the making (CSM movie, new original anime and JJK season 3 was already announced today), so let's pray (and I'm not the religious type)

Leaving aside my criticism, as an anime, this season was overall solid, with lots of sakuga and tension moments, due to the overall personnel hired to do stuff in the nick of time. If you're into battle shonen with little plot development, you're in for a treat. Relive those Dragon Ball moments of when you were a kid but uh with a darker tone.
