Quick reminder that Takaya Kuroda is not only the voice but also the physical likeness inspiration for Kiryu (which is what probably ended up getting him the part in the first place).

I wish I could go to a revolving sushi place.

Also never realized there's a difference between a revolving sushi place and regular sushi place. Is it like a fast food place vs. a sit down restaurant?

Dude, if you have the chance, treat yourself. Not a super fan of sushi, but it's loving dope to taste the metaphorical sushi rainbow.

Weekly Shounen Jump has changed a lot throughout the years, but do remember that JoJo ran on WSJ for 18 years and before JoJo, there was Fist of the North Star. And neither Hirohiko Araki nor Tetsuo Hara + Buronson were afraid of some good ol' gory violencing.

Just noticed the ED is from the same artists who did Beastars' OP.

It's legit one of my favorite songs of the year. There's just such a ridiculously rich amount of joie de vivre in the song that it legit puts me in the mood to boogie something fierce.

Nobara is a smart girl. She understands that there's only a finite number of things you can possibly give a gently caress about and has decided to spend her fucks to give wisely.

Got that Kenjiro Tsuda serial killer drawl, too. Just a walking bundle of pent-up salaryman fury.

That attitude is 100% from someone who had a "slightly lovely" boss while working a crappy job. Like not completely "Wish I could deck 'em in the face every time" type boss but the type who drops buzzwords left and right and whose attitude drive you up the loving wall.

He seems to be recovering that bit by bit, though. Most people who get their soul sucked by their job by-and-large tend to have a very "whatever" sort of attitude even during their free-time. And as D-Dub pointed out, he does seem to harbor a lot of pent-up fury from previous experiences. For example:

^^^^ Those are the words of someone who absolutely cares. He just has no chill about it whatsoever.

Fabricated posted:

It's a bit vague. In the manga Gojo says that Sukuna was a man (human) first, but when Yuji asks about the fingers he says that Sukuna originally had 4 arms as well- this would require him to have had those 4 arms as a person because his grave wax became cursed after his death which includes his fingers. But we only see Sukuna even in his mental realm as Evil-Yuji, with 2 arms. It's weird.

Maybe it's because he's doing the whole "appearance is in the eye of the beholder" thing and he looks like Yuji because, well, they're sharing a body.

It's a good ED, just a different vibe. Lost in Paradise is a struttin' song, is the song you hear while walking with confidence.

I like rear end in a top hat muscleman because rear end in a top hat characters can be fun. I like rear end in a top hat muscleman even more now that he has someone to bond with regarding his preference in girls.

I don't think Jennifer Lawrence is tall or has a big butt but maybe that's part of the joke???

chiasaur11 posted:

Five foot nine. Tall for an American woman, very tall by Japanese standards. For reference, she's an inch taller than Yuuji.

This has been a fairly common joke since forever of japanese characters that like curvy foreigners; to give you an idea concerning heights, voice actresses Haruka Tomatsu (Asuna in SAO; 165/5'5'') and Aki Toyosaki (Yui in K-On; 169;5'7'') are considered very tall for Japanese women.

Dumb note #1: Back from my days of learning Japanese in the late 90's, I got my hand in a few of the KOF and Samurai Shodown's "GAMEST! Comics" anthologies. One of the first ones I got was basically profiles of SamSho characters and I remember Kyoshiro Senryo (the kabuki dancer) citing his favorite kind of woman being "A westerner with measurements Japanese women would be baffled by".
Dumb note #2: One of my bandmates has pictures and posters of all her celebrity crushes on her rehearsal space's corner, and J-Law features prominently in said photo/poster collage, so hearing Yuji confess back in ep 2 and then said confession making a (surprisingly plot-relevant!) comeback in ep 15 has been fairly funny since it's like hearing my bandmate talking about her crush on her.

You can create the thread if you feel like. Apparently, the arc that just finished running in the manga was off the hook, hence why I'm staying the hell away from spoilers for the time being.

Try to keep manga spoiler talk to a minimum (I am aware that between where the anime is at rn and where the manga is there are like 3 arcs, with one of them being big enough to take a whole 2-cour by itself apparently), but this:

Had to rewatch the fight scene a couple of times, it's so good. I got a new favorite battle song too.

I don't think anything beats the "flighty but then eerie and heavily threatening" vibe this OST they used vs Hanami does.

Also really love the one on Nanami's first shown outing

Actually I just like our ex-Salaryman returnee, Kento Nanami, in general. Kenjiro Tsuda voicing him is the sort of thing that puts a skip in your (pissed-off) step.

Hopefully they take their time to make sure everything remains a banger for season 2, but :yeah:

the hype is just too strong and it's hard to be rational when this season turned so drat spectacular!

Haven't read the manga but I heard/read from a couple of people that there is a "Dark Tournament"-type arc (if we were to compare it to YuYu Hakusho) coming up in the manga right after this which apparently is long enough to sustain another 2-cour season without problem.

I think my buddy meant less "Tournament Arc!"-type thing and more "when the series goes from OK to loving excellent"

Yeah, there's really not much to discuss because, aside from some "floaty" fight scenes here and some slight apparent cut-off content there (please note: haven't read the manga and still wondering whether I should ATM), the show had near universal praise across the board, even from people (like yours truly) who are normally wary of shounen manga.

I liked almost all of the cast, too! And their dynamics.

Oh dear lord, these precious dumbasses. : :allears:

Japan is still pretty conservative + ruthless about controversies of this type (and about a shitload of other things, but let's not get bogged down because of that rn).

Also as a reminder:

When the singer of Jinkaku Radio talked some mild smack about Yui Horie (Chie in Persona 4, Hanekawa in the Monogatari series, Wiz in KonoSuba, shitloads of other things because she's 44 and has been active since she's 23 ) they got shitlisted for a couple of years.
Ai Takabe got arrested because she (allegedly) had the slightest bit of cocaine in her person and 11-year career was over because of that.

Of course, the drummer from ALI was running a fraudulent-rear end scam, so it's not completely unwarranted that he get shitcanned. Still, at least it wasn't anything as ghoulish as Ian Watkins. :yikes:

Also reminder that Yuji and co. ain't fighting rank-and-file curses or anything of that sort when he starts busting out the black flashes: They're fighting cataclysm/disaster-level curses, powerful aberrations that require people with a ton of strength to properly dispatch.
