not just the action and animation, but the MUSIC and OST's throughout the season were PERFECT. the strings that they used during the last episode, and the chaotic music they show when gojo is slaughtering those transfigured humans, the somber almost nostalgic sounds they use when he gets sealed, the sound design was just masterful this season i loved every minute of it. you could tell that the animators really love this show and wanted to give it the love it deserves even after everything that mappa put them through. i respect them immensely for that.

I think the saddest part is that the Mahoraga vs Sukuna episode, as you said, absolutely oozes with passion, but the fact that it's a rushed product is so very sad. Being this passionate about something and being forced to release an incomplete product must hurt.

[@Shiwa-zk1ns]

I'm 100% certain it did hurt the animators and everyone else. One of my friends said it was the worst episode of the season bc they were just throwing buildings etc and I was completely in rage bc of that statement xD everyone has their own unique opinion but what mappa created here in their absolute insane situation is just admirable. Sometimes I question how everything would have looked if they really had no crunch and rushing in their episode but every worker in mappa (not the CEO) did more than a human could handle

[@Thunterise]

I do need to point out that everyone claims that the episode was just 30% done, which is not true. An animator(?) said it was just 30% of the vision he had for it. That means something very different. That animator means to say that he had a larger vision for it and didn't get the time for it, and the 30% is just a number he used to express that. And tbh, the episode is still beautifully animated. I liked the art style in it, it felt very fitting for what was happening. Very chaotic. Regardless though, it sucks that we will never get to see what the animator had in mind for it, and that they get so completely overworked. And I doubt it's going to change, because Studio MAPPA isn't facing any actual backlash. Sure, people are talking about it, while still gobbling up every episode they release. There's no monetary incentive for Studio MAPPA to change.

[@ashwinnaidoo796]

That episode was still beautiful and definitely a highlight, sad how talented those animators r but are getting treated like shit

I get the complaints of the characters dying, but it makes sense to me because in their world, especially in their line of work, you living isn’t guaranteed. I honestly prefer it because it gives you the sense of threat even for the main cast.

[@cameronharvey4746]

People arent talking about issues with just the fact that characters can die, thats always a good threat to have. The issue is that this show will quickly introduce a character, force an emotional aspect for them, and then kill them off to try to force you to feel something. It feels cheap and lazy. Not to mention the amount of times they DONT actually die, which is so common in anime.

Gotta say, I do actually like how often they kill off people in the show. I think it gives a sense of the gravity of the situation, and makes it very similar to what I’d imagine a real war is like. I think the reason a certain characters death was so emotional was because they didn’t have the opportunity to accomplish their dreams.

[@GrandMagusDK]

I find it to do the exact opposite. Due to just how frequently characters just die without ever having done much makes me care less for all characters. Instead of raising the stakes it just throws them away because you just expect them all to die anyway. So who cares.

[@crismondragon6045]

Nah man that’s nothing like what war is like. That’s the exact reason why death being used like this is so lame to me. It’s hard for it to give a sense of gravity whenever the characters are messing around in the fights half the time, nothing like war and it just desensitizes viewers to what war is actually like. If an author wants more gravity to the situation the characters should feel like they’re at war, like in attack on titan or berserk. Throwing around death just for shock value then having funny moments right after is an L

Just great work on Gege Akutami's part.

[@gims162]

In addition to its animation, what I find particularly captivating about season 2 is that the seriousness and significance of the events portrayed have never been more believable. The first season gives the impression of being a season focused on setting up the story, while this storyline is the ultimate reward for your perseverance. However, in an unexpected turn of events, this reward turns out to be extremely heartbreaking. Gege Akutami really did a fantastic job.

The most crucial thing about s2 is the villains actually planning to make that incident happen and they successfully did. Gege's writing to Getwo is so good it makes you impress how they plan everything out while also having another trope to outsmart an OP character by sealing them throughout the arc. Also, want to add the fact that this season is a culmination of events prior (Gojo not wanting to cremate Geto's body, Toji killing the Star Plasma Vessel, Gojo letting Yuji live, letting Mahito live in s1, and Yuta wandering overseas to find cursed tools like Miguel's rope and Toji's Inverted Spear of Heaven).

I read at the time how people where unimpressed by the flash back like 2 eps in and saying they knew they should have dropped it, and how season 1 was better (all the while at the release of season 1 they said it was MID and overhyped etc.) Then they got to shibuya incident and said its dragging (like tiktok brain) then when it picked up and got crazy they said its lame for killing people off too fast without a big emotional send off and foreshadowing (like generic shonen) I really think said people dont like shonen which is fine or need to watch fairy tale or other more accomodating shonen.

Naruto too. Then you have the play by play to explain the plot cause people cant keep up with fast pacing so slow it down please. People get distracted by action and equate action to no story for some reason if filler padding isnt added. People hate that they dont have a depression arc or some deep philosophy on the meaning of life, all the while the shonen isnt as generic as they say and literally the story is about those dying around him and him finding the means to carry on and have a proper death. I swear this generic shonen people keep saying exist doesnt since it gets axed and the popular ones they call generic are some of the best were getting in the genre.

But both parts of season 2 especially had me so hype whenever stuff like Our Mission and Delirious would come on, as well as the new songs for part 2 that I went and searched out people's covers for them so I could listen to the tracks. Hearing the version of Remember during Yuji vs. Choso was amazing. Also this was like the only anime I was going back and rewatching episodes and fights while it was airing, sometimes before watching the new episode and often times immediately after. I watched the Choso fight, Yuji vs. Mahito, Todo vs. Mahito, and Yuji + Todo vs. Mahito countless times.

The problem is much deeper.

I think it's an AOT situation. Week to week people hate it when they catch up as they want more each chapter, but the pacing would be awful if you got alot to chew on each chapter aka big reveals every 6 min of an episode...Also the story is still good. In fact way more story beats are being revealed than shibuya incident which was thrilling but not crazy in the story department. Hence i see some people who said the s2 was underwhelming and overrated as they think it was too hyped and didnt pass their top 20 or whatever (lame stuff i know) like people can like a thing and it doesnt have to be the best thing ever but we can still say its good watch it. Like in 50 eps this is pretty good. It took 19 eps to beat dbz freiza back in the day. People hate on this series too much.

[@beemerwt4185]

Thank you for this!! I absolutely believe it deserved it's own video, and completely agree with you on all points made. I first started watching the series after season 1 was released entirely dubbed. The first season was captivating in it's own right, but I wanted more. I even saw the movie entirely dubbed. Then season 2 started being released and the only way to keep up with it was to watch in subbed, so I gave it a try. It was the first time I had ever watched an anime entirely subbed. I had always heard that "subbed is better than dubbed" but how much does that ever ring true for any anime, right? Well, this was different. I think after like the first 7-or-so episodes of season 2 were released they started dubbing the older ones, so I rewatched it in dubbed and it fell very flat of personal expectations. It didn't have the same weight. This was first time I have ever experienced the true difference, and it's night-and-day. That is my only gripe with this series, that the English voice acting sucks comparatively. Other than that, it's absolutely fucking stellar. Typically I would say I'm not an avid anime watcher, but I've seen a lot because of my friend who really enjoys the genre. This was one such series that jumped out at me and has been insanely captivating. It genuinely deserves awards for it's animation and Japanese voice acting.

[@鸡鼻子]

I understand the complaints about characters dying without really fulfilling much but this is a direct parallel to Yuji’s belief in that everyone should deserve a natural death. The fact that they didn’t get that in a way is mocking his ideals and further reinforcing the fact that this is war, as with what Mahito said, he kills humans for the sake of it just as Yuji kills cursed spirits.

It's like a Curse itself. A spite unto the audience. The audacity to put a Jumpscare of all things into an action scene - and it's so damn good. It's not just fast movement or detailed key frames. It's like a Jerma SusGuy face that takes up the whole screen. No other anime has done that to show speed. Fucken Wacky out of Ten, great show.

[@victoranguiano6297]

The complaints about the characters being underdeveloped and/or used as short plot devices is somewhat understandable to me. Personally, I think it adds to the quality of the writing. Realistically, there are situations like that all throughout life. Someone will be in your life, your story, for a brief moment, and the effect that they have can be huge; regardless of whether it’s positive or negative. Sometimes people make decisions that affect your story either directly, or indirectly through a friend’s story that might affect your own. Not everyone gets to live their life fully, not everyone gets a fully fleshed out story because that’s life, it’s shitty and sad sometimes, but that’s what makes the stories that continue so meaningful. It also is an excellent way to set up future spin offs and OVA’s. All in all, I think the writing is great. JJK is not my favorite anime or anything like that, but I think few appreciate this part of the writing that a lot of fans might be too spoiled to appreciate. We as fans are not entitled to have everything we want to happen, happen in the stories we like. It’s the author’s story, and an author that sells out and provides fan service instead of writing what they feel in their hearts to be the best story they can write, doesn’t typically create the best story.

Todo is the masterpiece within the masterpiece. He is how you do comic relief without detracting from the story and avoiding terrible character development. Most characters that come with comic relief are unnecessarily poorly written and obnoxious wastes of time. For example, Mineta from My Hero, Usopp from One Piece, And Zenitsu from Demon slayer ( Though not as bad as the other two). Todo Is proof that fun and quirky characters can add to a story narratively and emotionally with out overly relying on annoying personality traits. Todo's Arrival in Shibuya is excellent and and leaves and actual impact on the story . I cant think of a single other comic relief character that actually adds to their story in any meaningful way.

I'm pretty sure one of the primary points Gege tries to accomplish is leaving characters with unsatisfying ends. That's the thing about the word "potential". Everyone expects potential to be reached in anime by now because the character always reaches it. However, "potential" is not nearly as often reached with a realistic perspective. Junpei was the first example of this. And all of the people where you only really know their name and not their story before the get offed, I view as soldiers who have just gone to war and their families get the unfortunate news days later. Jujutsu Kaisen is a "war". Just because you go onto the battlefield doesn't mean you'll be able to achieve something significant to turn the tides. Some people die even before reaching the battlefield. Now, this could just be me coping, making shit up, whatever you call it.

u defo coping my dude. killing of characters without any consequence or without their death influencing anything is pure lazy writing. manga art and dialogues are shit. the anime is amazing tho. nobody cared abt jjk before mappa animated it. mappa did such a good job, it practically breathed a new life into the manga

[@iZelmon]

Gege bad writing really show when x is killed off in 236, worst character death execution so far and I’m not even a fan of that character.

[@Tom-dn6zy]

After every episode, me and my friend gush over the animation and about who just died or a sick moment. Even another friend who previously didn’t watch anime started watching jujutsu kaisen and even started reading the manga. It’s one of my favourite shounen so far and I admire the animators so much for creating this absolute gem of a show under such terrible conditions. Thank you for bringing hopefully even more eyes to this spectacle.

[@SliceOfRustronamy]

If you re-watch the opening again as well - you'll see everything in S2 was foreshadowed. Crazy attention to details and high conceptual. Love this season. Best in anime.

[@savagewraith]

As someone that 2 weeks ago hadn't seen JJK, I finished season 2, 2 days passed, and I dove into the manga like a crack fiend. I read 116 chapters within 24 hours or less from when I started and am now waiting weekly for my next hit. And great googly moogly, the action of upcoming seasons is going to be absolutely nutty when it's animated.

[@seft8101]

hoping that these animators doesn't lose the passion and love they have for animation because of these overworking conditions

Also charlie !! Fun fact: Hidden inventory opening is gojo's perspective and how he regrets not helping geto. And the ending is geto's response. Also in the opening, there is a line "a voice unvoiced , Do we meet again". Thats what gojo said to geto in jjk 0 the movie. Where they censor it. Jjk is really an amazingly written manga. Not just the fights, the story is equally amazing.

As a history fan I admire the way you gave popularity to Vinland Saga, so I might check out this anime as well. I personally don't watch too much anime, but I know enough about anime to have my favorites.

really good idea man. He is not exaggerating

[@CerealExperimentsMizuki]

He also recommends anime such as Gurren Laggan and Dragon Ball and Yu-Yu-Hakusho and he's also a big fan of Yu-Gi-Oh! But that one is half half. I love all of those anime though especially Yu-Yu-Hakusho and Gurren Laggan.

Doesn't top demon slayer for me but it's been a phenomenal show easily number 2. A couple of min of unfinished work in the ep17 fight are the only imperfection in this season as far as I can tell.

@@zkeletonz001 I did I just think it was how each episode of this season just kept topping the other but then again I have a huge action shonen bias

[@xtinguish]

The story is also amazing. It’s very subtextual that you have to pay attention with the crazy fast pace. Next season will Definetly show some reasons for certain things or concepts shown

[@SwissDontMiss]

Season 3 is going to be so insane if the animators are given the proper time they need to make it. Shibuya was incredible with some noticeable dips in quality that purely comes down to the people in charge putting everyone through nightmarish crunch times. If you're just into JJK for the great action and fights that's great, but it does get so much better when you realize these deaths aren't pointless and just tossed in for shock value. Right from the start we're told that Jujutsu Sorcerers almost never die a normal death without regrets. As Todo himself says, trying to find meaning in the deaths of their allies can often defile their memory. It gets so much better when you start to realize the nuances and subtleties in the plot, and we haven't hit the point where it all becomes obvious yet. The last episode especially is super important but a lot of what fake-Geto is saying doesn't make too much sense yet. The next arc is when the main plot properly is established and fully understood. It's a pretty long setup but damn is it soooo worth it. The new characters we'll get introduced to are some of the best in the entire story.

@OFFICERJIMMYUTTPhop on mario kart lil bro

[@KrzysztofIsio]

i think killing off the characters that still have narrative potential is ment to leave a void in the viewers that came to love them leaving them with real heartache and making the death much more hurtful, it wouldn't impact you as much if the character did everything they were supposed to and leave the world without regrets

[@LeelosAdventure]

nothing better than listening to charlie talk about anime

[@gohkinator9000]

Much like Sukuna's domain, this season was like witnessing a painter conjure a masterpiece on thin air without a canvas to paint on. It's truly been an absolute gem of a season, and every episode felt like a finely written love letter to all the fans worldwide.

[@pennyproud3323]

I can’t believe I was missing out on this anime. My life changed ever since I began the series. I earned 100 million in one day and gained 200xp. I can’t believe I was living off of mid hero academia for two years before this. Kind regards, Penny proud xx

[@DJLDJ132]

In a way, the sudden and unexpected deaths drive home how messed up the Jujutsu Sorcerer world is, and how easily life is taken.

[@fumbuswumbus]

2:36 I think this issue comes more from manga readers from what I know. The upcoming arcs in my opinion are still really good, but your mileage may vary with certain moments

[@ianharrison5758]

You can just feel how much love for the source material the animators have. Shibuya was already my favorite new gen arc by a good amount but this season definitely is in my top 3 of all time I’ve seen(no I haven’t seen 9,0000 animes Bert and I don’t need to its still peak)

[@TomAndrews91]

I was introduced to the anime by a friend, and I was hooked instantly. I also got up to date with the manga within a few days, and I highly recommend that too. Fantastic series overall.

with this being my first anime i’ve ever watched, I gotta say it was a DAMN good choice. When a show makes you pick up a book after years because it captivates you that much, yeah, they’re doing something right. Really hoping the animators and everyone involved gets taken care of because to think this isn’t even peak in terms of its story climax alone, boy we’re in for something special next season.
