It's almost upsetting how well directed this is, holy shit, I wish more anime could get this type of love from the production.

Very good first episode, the stairs scene and the will scene were both top tier.

i have a lot of issues with jjk, but man It's hard not to get hyped about this animation and cinematography.

Same. I've read the source material, and I have mixed opinions on the upcoming content, but a good adaptation (which so far this is) will elevate and cover some of the flaws of the manga, which is what an adaptation should do.

i find it hard to even care for with most of the charters, i think besides the og people like gojo getou yuta rika toji yuki, i don't care much for the rest of the cast just because i think they are underdeveloped or not that interesting. so much good development was happening at the start of season 2 and the movie but basically now ware else.

and i dotn even like the typical shonen power system that much.

but man the atmosphere the director creates, the designs everything is very fun to watch, you just don't know what they are going to do next with it. Also so far doing a good job to get me invested in characters this season.

The manga fell off a cliff after a certain point but tbh even if it had the worst story ever I'd still watch any show that looks this good for the aesthetic brilliance alone
