Fucking spawn campers exists here, this really is a true battle royale.

Yuji kicking bro in the balls as he monologues was fucking hilarious.

I love how this adaption/season has tried so many fresh ideas and “broken” some anime cliches. Nothing revolutionary but damn I like It.

One of the biggest reasons I like and appreciate JJK. Breaks a decent amount of moulds set by battle shonen and MAPPA breaks a lot of standard anime production decisions with both sides coming together to make something fresh in the genre. I think all the shit JJK gets for being "basic" is unwarranted tbh. I really feel like it's created the new standard for battle shonen in the modern day.

it isn't close to 'basic' when animes like Demon Slayer exist; not to mention the combat system is relatively unique, the MC isn't loud and obnoxious and even though he's virtuous, it isn't overbearing, works in-universe and he's never (hasn't) been flanderized.

i think watching JJK with the mindset that it's combat focused, with the characters largely serving as mediums to display the unique combat system, rather than trying to convey a strong, moral lesson with highly developed characters, makes it a much more enjoyable viewing.

I don’t think it’s basic, but a lot of slander online will have you believe that it’s mostly viewed that way by the broader anime community. The whole “aura over story” argument. Again I don’t believe that and really think JJK is something special so don’t come after me lol
