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
Holy cow, what an episode! The animation quality and the camera panning is all incredible. You can tell MAPPA is putting everything into this. I hope the quality keeps up all season, just like they did with Chainsaw Man.
Gojo has been a little shid forever, and well, that was expected!
The shot of Fushiguro there towards the end. I am very excited to see more of him!
Also, whew, everyone is so freaking hot. I am going to need to get a tall glass of water for this each week to handle the thirst.
I feel like the episode had good pacing, though maybe a tad slow in places. They maybe feel they need to ease us in even though we knew it was going to be a prequel, not a sequel as many had hoped. JJK Zero kind of prepared us for it, and I am thoroughly enjoying it even though I would probably be enjoying more of Yuji’s story line a little more.
All in all, 4/5, can’t wait for more!
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.
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.
Is it only me or is the animation very jittery and jarring this episode. The aesthetics looks really cinematic like chainsaw man but the fluidity looks irregular.
I think I kinda noticed too, I suspect it could be because some of the CGI 3Dish background panning look jittery in 24FPS because I’m used to playing 3D video games in 60 or 120FPS lol
Was not noticable for a majority of the episode and did not bother me much in any case.
