Part of the series I like is its sense of humor. Gojo shows up and his student is beat half to death and he's like "lol you got hosed up, I'm gonna take some pictures to show your classmates"

I really liked some of the changes made from the manga in the second episode. Rather than just chilling on a park bench, the conversation between Gojo and Itadori takes place while he's finishing the funeral rites for his grandfather and picking up his bones. Kinda conveys Itadori's feelings at the moment better I think. I think the conversation with the principal doesn't quite underscore that basically being mentally unwell is pretty much a requirement for the job. You have to be a person who can generate negative feelings/thoughts powerful enough to use your jujutsu, but also be able to control/use them and stay at least somewhat rational. And the job pretty much has you consistently in proximity to death and the worst parts of humanity. You have to have something wrong with you to do it, but someone has to do it. If you're not a manga reader this is something to really keep in mind- anyone who's a Jujutsu Sorcerer in this story, "good guy" or not, they all have something very deeply wrong with them (or are suffering terribly, even if it's quietly) and that's literally where their power comes from.

OnimaruXLR posted:Jump's in a pretty dark mood lately between the multiple maulings in the most recent Hero Academia chapters, Jujutsu keeping it's horror elements more consistent than a lot of other stuff, and just... Chainsawman in general HxH's most graphic kill is that one guy I forget the name of who gets squashed like a bug and you see him with his guts and stuff smashed clean out of him- and even then I think it's shaded over a bit to cover it up. They're still shading/blacking out the nastier stuff but chainsaw man regularly features flying guts, Jujutsu Kaisen's violence gets fairly extreme, and even the generally more upbeat My Hero Academia has had stuff that borders on body horror.

I just like that they don't conjure stronger people than Gojo out of nowhere. Gojo is in fact, probably the strongest character in the series short of full-power Sukuna. Also I like that technique reigns supreme- in terms of raw power the Disaster Curses are actually head and shoulders above probably 90% of the characters in the series. This includes the special-grade sorcerers like the faculty/staff who aren't Gojo- the kids are all way, way out of their league here and the only reason a bunch of them aren't dead is because Hanami is basically the group tank for the Disaster Curses and his technique lacks bullshit death-touch mechanics or AoE effects that must be countered with domains or techniques specifically suited for it to avoid instantly dying. Most of the faculty here that aren't Gojo would probably die in a 1v1 against any of the disaster curses- they probably just wouldn't die instantly.

I'd bet on not seeing Season 2 until about this time next year at the earliest, particularly if you don't want it to nosedive in quality.

The perspective on some of the slightly overindulgent "rotate the camera around the action" shots is kinda jarringly weird/off, but that's pretty small potatoes given the general quality of everything. There's enough for a season 2 right now, easily. The only thing that I'd have to eyeball is how many arcs you could fit in. There's a shorter arc that comes right after this, then something of an interstitial arc that leads into an arc that is very, very long.

OnimaruXLR posted:There is a lot of flash over function with JJK's battle scenes, but I think that's fine since the real meat of the fight progression is built around the cursed techniques, so cool punches and kicks are basically just there to keep things lively in-between those bits

The adaptation was pretty 1-to-1 with some embellished fight scenes, but JJK's fights (particular the hand-to-hand bits) are really well choreographed in the manga.

I'll say that Chainsaw Man is better than Jujutsu Kaisen, and I really like Jujutsu Kaisen. That being said I'm pretty happy it took off. I was thinking originally that this was going to be one of those series that does well enough but doesn't get noticed, kinda how Demon Slayer went pretty much unnoticed until it got its anime.

Akutami's comments are always them pointing out stuff they screwed up (like art mistakes, using the incorrect terms, stuff they don't think makes sense, etc) and asking the readers to not mind it. One of their most embarrassing moments as per one of the volume extras is having math explained to them for Black Flash by one of their assistants, who pointed out the multiple they were using didn't work the way they thought it did. One of the others is Nobara (who is pretty small/petite) easily kicking away Yuji, who is canonically built like a brick shithouse and weighs ~180 pounds.

I was originally baffled by the start of the Hidden Inventory arc when it happened in the manga because it felt like it came out of nowhere but it's probably one of the best villain origin stories in a Jump magazine. It pretty much makes sense, provides context for a lot of other characters' behaviors/personalities, and is more than just a "one bad day" story. Geto genuinely struggles until he finally falls.

One critical thing that people need to remember for this series is that to be a jujutsu sorcerer at all you basically need to be mentally ill. It's literally a requirement.

Electric Phantasm posted:Shoko seems pretty well adjusted There's no really well adjusted sorcerer. The "good" ones tend to have really strange views on death/suffering/killing and usually seem like they draw their negative emotions (thus their cursed power) from some form of self-loathing. Part of the reason Gojo is so freaked out by Geto losing it is because he basically used Geto as his moral compass- even Gege says that; namely that he was actually unironically asking Geto if he should kill the cultists because he genuinely couldn't conceive of what was moral to do. Gojo at that point was basically a nearly unkillable god; almost nothing is impossible for him, so he has nothing really stopping him from doing anything he wants outside of his own moral judgment. It's why his threat in the previous season to kill all the higher ups in the jujutsu world scared Ijichi so much; Gojo could do it effortlessly if he just decided to one day.

I get that it's TV but Nobara getting her head blown off here was a lot more dynamic in the manga, and this is a more important scene than a punch-up in a bathroom.

Jerkface posted:She avoided the actual CT activating type of touch, she got hit incidentally by claws - its stupid that she stood there and let mahito full on touch her face when she was previously super spry and active in the fight. I think this is poor direction by Mappa for this sequence. The hallway is waaaay shorter in the manga, it should have happened quicker, blah blah blah I absolutely hate this plot point even in the manga. The reason given in the manga is that she had let her guard down due to fighting the clone but she knew there was a real mahito and he was likely heading towards it!

There's all the usual growing pains of battle shonen present. A power scaling system that almost immediately becomes irrelevant. An ancillary cast whose members that cannot hang at the top of that power system becoming completely irrelevant. An motivated interesting villain being boiled down into something less interesting or replaced with something less interesting. I think some of these things are less obviously present than they are for a lot of other ongoing series (a lot of the people who aren't hanging out at the top of the power curve have useful non-combat utility) but they're there.
