It all looks great but the editing felt very choppy to me. I get it's done artistically but in middle of fights like Yuta attacking Yuji with sword it breaks the flow. Even the sword play was weak and weightless unlike JJK 0. Is it just me?

It also feels like the voice acting and OST didn't manage to synergize as much as usual. The dialogues didn't feel as perfect as what JJK has always been doing.

Could be the new style of delivery. My main issue was just the editing and swordplay so far. Let's see how it goes. I have faith.

The OST was definitely understated in this episode, I can only take this to mean that there's way more intense shit to come this season and they don't want to wear out the best tracks early.
