Type: Anime
Score: 7.5/10
Some guy named Kenzo is getting paid 5 yen per 19 hour shift for animating this shit, what a hero.
Edit: 8.5 -> 7.5 Just watched season 2 and I gotta say some things, before going into it I was told how good the animation was over and over but to be honest I thought it was pretty jank a lot of the time and in general thought season one was better in that aspect, a lot of the time the perspective seemed off which caused the movement to seem weirdly uneven, not at all natural to me. It was clear far too much focus had been placed on the fight scenes and everything else was on the back burner. I also felt that many scenes were suffering from overuse of that blur affect, maybe it was to save time or something but it just looked dreadful, not to mention the random darkness which I heard was forced by the Japanese government for epilepsy or something so I really shouldn't complain about it but I don't care, it ruined multiple fight scenes for me in just how jarring it was, really took me out of it. The second fight between Gojo and Toji was cool though, felt like the extra stylised approach they went with really paid off, I also really liked the fight with Gojo in the train station, the jazzy ass infinite void sequence was so peak. The Sukuna vs Volcano guy was pretty sick as well along with the fight between Toji and Megumi, the ending was pretty sweet too, these cool moments don't cancel out just how weak the non fighting moments are generally. Sukuna vs Mahoraga however was honestly exhausting to watch, it went on for so long and followed so many other long and intense fights that it was hard to focus on no matter how "good" the animation was (though to be honest personally I found it hard to follow, it was perhaps over animated). The story was about on par with season one, maybe a little less streamlined. I also might just be remembering wrong but I don't remember season one having a narrator and the narrator this time round was absolutely terrible, I mean the guy himself did a fine job but just the whole idea of a narrator giving out random exposition was a bad one. The Mei Mei grooming scene put a bad taste in my mouth too. Sorry this whole edit was so disjointed, I've been writing it as I watch and can't really be bothered patching it up.
What'd you think?
