I still have no idea how such a cookie cutter shounen show got such a huge budget. Maybe there will be something different down the line, but so far, this is following the Naruto character and plot formula very closely.

Peace.
I hated that the tournament didn't get finished in Naruto, and I likewise disliked that it got disrupted here as well.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
But.. you know, they fixed some things here. Like, Naruto isn't obnoxious. Sasuke isn't a dick. Sakura isn't fawning all over him, though is still crass. Kakashi is still hot and masked. Tenten and Rock Lee got rolled into one. Hinata is still best girl. Neji can go fuck himself.
Usually these shows have to kill the strong protective mentor to make the plot proceed, but I hope they don't do that here.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Who is Hinata?
Peace.
That's Miwa.
Yeah, I know. Not much of a comparison besides timid and best girl.
But if you've played Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm, then you'd also recognize that both girls have an ultimate attack where they lay a barrier around themselves - and anyone that goes inside gets hit.

Well, it was a popular manga and very likeable characters. From a plot point, nothing new, just well executed... at least to my liking. I don't know how the future of the series looks, but I was seeing it hyped up even before the anime was announced for quite a while.
Plus it has the horror element to it with actual gruesome imagery, few feature that combo.
Same. Gives me blueballs.
Episode 19
---------------------------------------
"They killed your friends, but worst yet they disrupted our honeymoon. I can see why you'd get angry"
Fucking Toudou, he's that crazy bitch that also ends up being hilariously chummy with when they happen to side with you.
Let's just not forget that despite being so nice to Itadori he was a complete dick to Megumi.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Toudou is nuts and should die.
Remember how he tried to crush Itadori's head against a tree with his foot and thought he succeeded, and was disappointed it was so easy?
Yeah, fuck Toudou.
Peace.
Agreed, but he's bringing legit humor... Itadori buying into his "best friend" routine was golden. That said, didn't like when they switched it to calling themselves brothers.
Was it me, or were the colors and animation different than the usual?
Agreed that he's hilarious to watch.
I didn't notice anything different about the animation.

looking back to check and I don't quite see anything different either, it's probably due to the sun setting this time that it looks a bit different.
Before that, it was mostly daylight or nighttime, never twilight or anything like that.
But jesus. Looking back at all the fight scenes in this show so far. They sure are sweet and fun to look at.
I didn't quite like this one as much as the others, but still.
Feels more like a movie than a series.
And it's not even delayed into 2 cours or anything, they are airing these episodes back to back every week.
Awesome job there.
Just for the lols, I googled "x gon give it to ya jujutsu kaisen" and as expected, I found exactly what I wanted to find. hilarious scenes.
That's the conclusion I landed on as well when Buff said he didn't notice anything, that and maybe effects of the barrier as well.
I think Gojo said that decent sorcerers are all eccentric, to varying degrees. On that front, Toudo is on-brand.
Some more great cuts here. I'm also impressed this comes out weekly. The 'bruhser' makes me smile every time.
Episode 20
------------------------------
Another delightful episode.
Maybe the tournament will continue after all. There's no point sending students on an investigation while they interrogate the craftsmen dude, so might as well have them finish. It'll just be hard to score this event.
As for the whole swapping thing.. there's only really so many options for you to try (when he was bluffing that he could only personally body-swap). If Itadori was about to land a punch onto Hanami, body swapping Toudou and Hanami makes zero sense. Of course he wouldn't do that.
Edit: Ah yes. The preview answers my continuation question.

That was a great fight sequence!
That was hilarious.
The BGM during Gojou's attack was kick-ass.
Next ep is going to be jujutsu-baseball.
edit:
jesus, this is awesome.
So quick to make a cover too.

While I've been enjoying this, I thought this fight was dragging too much. Part of what has been making this show good was the great pace it had, particularly during fight sequences.
That aside, really enjoyed the episode particularly learning a bit more about Toudou and how he processes things in his fictitious imaginary world.
And Gojo is so fucking OP, it's great... but I think they're setting him up to die eventually, which will be a shame since he's such a cool character to have around. But if we have enemies just as strong, then maybe he'll stick around to balance things out.
Gives you some perspective on how strong Sakuna most be.
Episode 21:
Well, this certainly was a complete anti-climax. That said, I can honestly say I loved the baseball sequence even if I thought it was going to be idiotic, I thought there was some comedy gold there.
Nice pitch.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Yeah; the "nobody likes Todo" joke finally wore me down and I laughed at his ridiculous personality. I liked how even his player introduction card mentioned his delusions of being old pals with Yuji.
I wonder what the last few episodes of this season are going to be now that the big confrontation is over?
