Is it only me or is the animation very jittery and jarring this episode.
I personally enjoyed the fluid animation, Gojo crip walking will now live rent free in my head.
The animation and fluidity looked fine to me. I do agree that the aesthetics did give me chainsaw man vibes, but I’m not complaining.
Rat scene was perfect.

Wow, I’m impressed with just how good it all looks. I thought S1 looked fantastic but this is another level. Voice acting was great, sound design was perfect, just an insane start to a season. Makes me a little scared to see how they can keep it up for another 22 episodes.

Story wise im still surprised to see us stick completely with the flashback (is it really a flashback if it isn’t momentary?). I haven’t read the manga, and I avoided anything preview related to go in blind, looks like that didn’t really matter.

Here’s hoping this is the worst episode, cause then it’d be a 10/10 season. I can definitely see this being the AOTS, but not calling it just yet

I haven’t watched JJK0 yet and I feel like that was a big whoops for watching this episode. I’m excited to see what causes the change in Gojo to go from the glasses to the eye band.

Based on the ED I think we might be in for a few of these prequel episodes.

Wouldn’t it be a classical chuunibyou-esque “my power has gotten too great” kind of situation? Like Code Geass when Lelouch’s Geass evolved?

I wouldn’t have my hopes up on any explanation of why Gojo is so OP.

Jjk0 does not give you any information that would be relevant for this part i think.
Yeah. It only takes place like only a few before season 1. Which is still quite far removed from the time in season 2.
I recommend watching JJK0 after the current arc. Events in the movie will make more sense and will be relevant later.
Okay sweet I’ll hold it until after this arc.

This is a great first episode. The animation is fantastic and feels a little different from last season. Knowing Mappa, we should be fine for the whole season.

As a manga reader, I’m very excited for upcoming fights this arc and the next arc.

I was hoping for sequel but, if there is Gojo everything is fine.
From what I gather, only the first half of the season is a prequel arc.

This is a bit late, but wow. The animation and art direction are far superior to S1.

Like CSM S1 level good.

I haven’t looked, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a lot of staff overlap.

Some of the scenes in the mansion blew me away not gonna lie
