In the depths of his Mother's Basement, Geoff Thew creates videos analyzing the storytelling techniques of anime and video games. He has been named the number one Worst CZcams Anime Reviewer by The Top Tens. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
apologies for the slight audio stutter in the intro/outro, it's a result of two different editors working on the video with different render settings, and very long story short, it can't be fixed without undoing other work. I decided it was acceptable because what I'm saying is still perfectly legible, but if it's too distracting for you, there are no glitches between 10:00 and 34:06
Edit: It's also come to my attention that "Eichiro Oda's" picture and the footage of "Akira Toriyama" are misattributed. Sorry. I should have caught that when reviewing the edits.
I hope you finish reading hunter x hunter.
i thought there was something wrong with my headphones
I thought I was hearing things
And i thought my headphones died... xD
Very good Video so far, thank you as always!
Greetings from germany xD
I was starting to think something's wrong with my phone
My favorite comment I've seen about Jujutsu Kaisen is that the main trio shares two brain cells and Megumi has both of them.
😂😂
It's true
LOVE THIS
XD
Fun fact that's taken from a chainsaw man video
THIS.
Anyone else gonna mention how the Baseball Episode is completely canon and not a filler, cause that’s amazing.
Nice pitch
Or how that baseball match was a way of showing Megumi where he falls short. Excellent writing
"kugisaki's lost it!"
@@EcchiHeroOda when the flashback to Gojo calling Megumi out on his righteous hero act mentioned his bunting, I didn’t even fucking notice at first. JJK has so many details that remembered!
Honestly it was by far the worst episode. It might as well of been filler.
The fact that Sukuna is a *true* villain is very refreshing to me. He' just evil, he has no tragic story thus far that makes us sympasize with him, he's a pure form of ill will and the manga is not afraid to show it.
That we know of so far*
He's the Kyuubi of this show but stays evil
@@northwestclasspnw7974 Tis Why I say 'thus far' haha XD
@@leonardofarias8843 yep!
Err you kinda forgot afo from mha though
One thing I found refreshing while watching this show was how Nanami dealt with Yuji. Nanami never looked down on Yuji or belittled him just because he was younger. He was always simply worried about him because he was younger and did not want him to get hurt or experience something that would damage him emotionally. He wasn't one of those typical anime adults that expect teeangers, who are still children, to do all sorts of insane shit for their age. Now, yes, he expects him to fight curses and survive, but he also never forgets that Yuji is a child and tries to keep him safe at all costs. He's one of the best example of an adult that I have seen in anime.
Yeah that was nanamis whole thing.
He was "the adult of adults." He has some of my favorite lines ever, "being a child is not a sin." "I am not underastimating you, I am an adult and you are a child. I have a duty to protect your life over my own."
My man was the absolute embodiment of being a responsible adult.
@@mattimeikalainen6963 Fuck, now I want to listen to Saboten Record again.
@@mattimeikalainen6963 nanami is such an amazing character.
Honestly, the trope of actual, responsible adults is so refreshing and a great contrast for battle shonen shows like this. Between Nanami and Reigen, it’s usually either hilarious or a relief. Good shit.
I love that it makes sense with his character too. Small spoiler, but he lost his friend, someone so remicisent of Yuji and that loss still effects him. Haibara was expected to give up his life and Nanami was expect to deal with that and in time give up his own life for others. Nanami was 15/16 years old when that happened, the same age as our first years, and it so fucked up. So of course he's protective of Yuji in his own way. Yuji isn't an adult and shouldn't have these burdens on him just as Nanami shouldn't have had them on himself. And the fact I got all this from only a few panels during the Past Gojo arc and the Shibuya arc is insane.
The possibility of Sukuna just switching out whenever he wants gives me anxiety
It's literally peak writing. Putting an egg there that can burst at anytime. Its something that you don't actively think about but are always aware of.
Shirosaki: YOU’RE LAME, Ichigo!
Honestly...
Spoiler: after the last arc in the manga, I'm constantly worried for everyone for all kinds of reasons, but especially Megumi in relation to Sukuna. On one hand, Yuuji now knows there's something up. On the other hand, will that make any difference? Sukuna can do whatever he wants and I don't want there to be a situation (but in all likelihood it probably will happen this way) where he threatens to kill a lot of people, forcing Megumi to do what he wants. He'd probably kill all those people anyway..
@@joeguimond3092 idk about that cause you could say that bout Naruto too before he gained control over Kurama
Its quite literally the alfred Hitchcock "bomb under the table" and its really sold me on the narrative
The fact that Nanami willingly accepted his fate and deliberately threw in the towel seconds after Mahito unleashed his domain is a testament of Gege's complete understanding of how Shounen Power Scaling works.
Ong, I feel that his number one priority has been to make an iron clad battle system and I love it.
@@kingjohn6078 Same, this story made me love all of its villains, protagonists, & the other side characters way too much.
Yeah. All the scaling is always consistent and the power system has in built restrictions
I love how telling people how your attack works actually has a purpose in the series. Usually some series have characters who tell their opponent their abilities which is kind of stupid. But in JJK you get a power boost if you decide to explain your attack, you don’t even have to tell the truth you can give part of the full explanation like todo.
Thanks God Gege was such a fan of HxH
Nobara: I love myself when I'm shopping for pretty dresses and I love myself when I'm KICKING ASS!
How do you not love a character like that?
She's an amazing
Shes queen
queen
I freakin love nobara. Curse nails op lol.
I didn’t like her vibe at first but she grew on me. She still got a wack fighting style with those nails and shit
One thing I really like about jujutsu kaisen is that the main trio actually gets along with each other. Unlike Sasuke who treats both Naruto and Sakura like trash and even tries to kill them Megumi does like Itadori and also Itadori and Nobara often prank Megumi and force him out of his serious personality.
This! This is what I felt as well. They felt really relatable!
Well the dynamic of Sasuke and his comrades is more complex than him simply treating them like trash.
Or that moment where they thought Megumi was getting hit on (when the woman was just asking for directions)...
Well they get along with Nobara about as well as one can get along with an actual narcissist
Naruto is garbage compared to jjk anyway
Ever since I saw the scene where Gojo stopped his fight to travel an expedient distance just to interrupt Itadori watching Lord of The Rings and bring him back to said fight because it would be "a good learning experience", I knew this was one of the best series I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

When Yoshinobu pulled out that guitar, I think I finally *got* him as a character. Like he dresses like a traditional buddhist monk but he has all these piercings, and he pulls out an electric guitar for his curse techniques? He's a sellout. He probably was some kind of rebel in his 20s and 30s, maybe fronted a band. But time and society ground down his idealism and now he's just another hidebound conservative who thinks that wearing his piercings at 76 means he's still punk rock even as he goes against everything he once stood for.
That is a remarkable idea. Never thought of it that way.
Bruh that literally makes perfect sense. I’m sold on that theory.
The original grifter
Frick I never though of it that way!
True, and that becomes all the more painful in his most recent appearance in the manga. Honestly, fuck that guy.
I re-read the manga and I literally screamed when Yuji waved off his grandfather talking about his parents
why? the parents dont even matter
@@kenanbroersma709 are you caught up on the manga? lol
@@romytv9245 yeah i read like 146 chapters of it and dropped it because i had no idea what was going on.
Spoilers
Considering the absolute madness going on in the manga now, that certainly would have been useful info to know ahead of time...
"Yuuji let your gramps talk!!" 😭😭
One of my friends told me that he read the manga a couple years back and told me it would be the next big thing once the anime was announced. I guess he's just a prophet
No he just had good taste.
I remember back in 2017-18 when one of my friends ask me what will be the next shounens to rise as the new warships of shounen jump... My answaer was clear Jujustu Kaisen and Kimetsu no Yaiba. In that years both of them sell well and the editors of shonen jump are trying very hard to make the people know them. I don't even read these mangas that time, but the editorial staff really believed in this two titles. Coloured pages, very good reviews by the shounen jump ToC's and they are clearly be gived with good position in the magazine organization.
@@gh0rochi363 not that good, too much praise
I remember picking JJK up when it only had about 60 chapters thinking that it would be the next big anime/manga and it was super vindicating seeing it get so much popularity over the last two years
Legitimately probably better as a Manga, thenanime feel s like generic brand Shonen trash
I really love how the female characters are portrayed, they're equally nuanced and skilled as the male characters and aren't objectified and that's so refreshing
Agreed
True but it's not that big of a deal though for a shounen anime. A lot of animes did that before. It's not new
@@sgcastle8389 it is kinda of a new thing anime objectifies women all the time
@@kurfew7168 no it's not a new thing, and anime doesn't objectify women all the time.
If i let anime from the 80's and 90's like Slayers,Gummn and Ghost in the shell aside.
In 2000's we had Claymore, Fma; Fmab; To aru Railgun.
In the 2010's we have *Attack on titan* , Talentless Nana; MHA (kinda) Jormungand; Kiseijuu; Grimoire of Zero and a lot more.
All those anime did what jjk did with female character before.
Nobara is basically a younger and Single Izumi Curtis from FMA and FMAB.
@@sgcastle8389 MHA objectifies its female characters. A lot.
JJK isn't doing anything new, but sadly the anime that don't fall into cheap fanservice are very few in comparison to the many that do. Just because something isn't 100% new (I mean, nothing really is) doesn't mean it isn't groundbreaking in its own way. I'm glad less fanservice is a trend, but it's still developing as of now.
It took me 20 episodes to realize Megumis hand signs when summoning beasts are actually finger shadow puppets because they come out of his shadow
It was pretty hard to tell until max elephant. Besides nue they weren’t clear at all
@@AntiSoraXVI Wolf looked pretty obvious
The intricacies Of Manganime never ceases to amaze/amuse me

I noticed immediately, but as a writer myself I have a tendency to hyper analyze characters and writing with stories. Also anime and manga is 100% one of the best media platforms to teach peak writing with.
The dog was literally the thing I did as a kid growing up what
Can't wait to see the Shibuya Arc animated. Can't wait to hear the collective "THUD" when thousands of jaws hit the floor during multiple parts throughout the whole Arc.
Hell yeah it's gonna send the world spinning lol!
I literally can't wait to bawl my eyes out
Bruh my initial reaction to season 2 getting announced recently was AW YEAH! Then I remembered the bits I know and then faded to ahhh. fuck.
@@ichigokage p a i n
It’s a good thing that second best girl is 100% alive and will come back with a sick eyepatch
Nobara is such an amazing female character. She's allowed to be flawed and arrogant (a trait usually given to male characters, while female characters are shallow. ex. males being too proud of skill, women too proud of looks), and she's also allowed to be feminine and it's just apart of her character, not the writers patting themselves on the back and damn i love this show.
This comment says nothing like what what the fuck does this mean
@@kawaiiempoleon8721Y'all might need to go back to school for reading comprehension.
@@itsaUSBline my point is that it uses so many words to just say she has 2 very basic traits that like several thousand characters have nothing here is new nothing here is cool or inventive or major
@@kawaiiempoleon8721 Compare her to sakura from Naruto, my fav anime and I can say for sure I prefer Nobara's portrayal.
@@maxsiefert9371 yes if you compare her to one of the most infamously nothing characters in shonen shes checks notes much worse ya that totally proves the writing is good
on a more serious note nobara is the worst example of fridging ive ever seen and if you compare her to literally any show that has decent female characters shes wildly outclassed in every way after her death i cant see any way you can argue the author isnt sexist
You have to love Todo taking advantage of how weaker people explain their techniques for the power boost to misexplain his own power to Hanami. He takes advantage of an opponent blindly trusting his description of his power.
In a way it's almost the opposite of everyone else's techniques, since his technique has more potent and devastating effects in battle the more his opponent misunderstands it.
I think Hanami said it himself, the simplest techniques are the trickiest
but how do you really want to power boost boogie woogie, the only thing you boost about it is its speed but boogie woogie seems to be instant after clapping
SPOILER
he loses his hand and can no longer C L A P
Extra love for that scene when Yuji almost spoils the setup and Todo shushes him.
"Art is not a leaderboard"
I wish more fans would think this way. It's annoying when you find a great new series but everyone around you wants to make a competition out of it.
This. When my brother asks me which of two anime do i think it's better im always like: There is no best but i can answer which is my favourite if you want
1000% THIS
Fully agree
The mountain range analogy is great as well.
Yeah I know. It's so easy to let your own bias dictate what's better than other shows, so I just try to put people on to what I like, and try to be open to what others like

It has been started in the manga that when curses die, as long as the negative emotions towards something still exists, the curse will be reborn, but they lose all memories and powers of their former incarnation. It can be assumed from the nature of the current Mahito that all incarnations of Mahito were big trouble makers, leading me to believe that unlike Jogo, Hanami, and Dagon, who all have stayed undercover for hundreds of years, Mahito's previous incarnations would recklessly die in battle due to them pursuing their basic desires, meaning that they are reincarnated pretty often and therefore most don't get enough time to develop.
Thought the same, that's why they are "younger" in comparison.
That's a very interesting thought; I mean, the nature of human connection HAS changed over time. In the times of early man, humans were incredibly co-reliant. We needed one another just to make it through the day, and there were so few humans around that there really wasn't as great a concept of "fear of your own kind" among us. You had your family, and that was about it... As we grew and expanded our numbers and minds, however, we started to encounter one another. That created a new concept: "otherness". Those people aren't MY group, so they're a problem. Competition, not welcome... negative things.
That would have been the first Mahito, an incredibly base creature who just ran around trying to kill everyone who wasn't him. Naturally, so much aggressive and uncontrolled behavior would eventually be stopped by the first humans to tap into cursed energy and eliminate them. But that wouldn't stop humans from hating one another. Subsequently, Mahito would be reborn time and time again with each new massive change in human thought and behavior, becoming a more advanced, cruel, and powerful self each time. More humans means more curse and fear energy, after all. And the more we're able to KNOW about one another, the more fear we have. For example, a Crusades era Mahito would be quite the monster... but one so single-minded, it would be horrific. And with this being the Information Age, we're bombarded by soul-crushingly horrible news about the entire human race daily that it makes sense that this Mahito would not only be cunning, self-aware, and sneaky..... but that they'd have such a devastating power to torture humans through their very soul itself.
@@KitsunenoHibi I disagree heavily, since the time of the neanderthals we've been systematically wiping other humans off the map for whatever selfish desire we have
@@EvillAnime by the time Homo sapiens sapiens (our species) encountered Homo neanderthalensis (neanderthals) there were a ton of us spread all over Africa and Asia and we had been around for hundreds of thousands of years so early humans genociding each other doesn't discredit his thoughts at all.
This show genuinely helped me over my grandmas death. The first time I watched this show was the night my grandma died. Not only did it help me come to terms, but it kept me from crying all night .

As a manga reader I can say the series only gets better with the anime only raising the already high quality.
Of all the anime I’ve watched maybe only Bleach that i was reading and watching the anime at the same time.
Man like shibuya arc, hopefully they don’t censor the gore of it
I really can't wait for Yuta and Itadori's little moments.
@@Alicapy or kugisaki’s moments
Shibuya...
I remember when I first got into Anime, my favorite thing was hearing people present logic that I would never have come up with on my own. Jujutsu Kaisen's episodes were the first time I've felt that in years "If there was a button to kill everyone I hate, I probably wouldn't press it. But if there was a button to kill everyone who hates me..."
I really liked that logic. He was a better person than I was in school when I was bullied. I totally would have pressed the first button.
That's the line that sold the show for me.
I didn't really get this line, can someone explain?
@@jagaimo6013 its essentially saying "I wouldn't kill everyone i personally hate or dislike. But if given the chance I would kill everyone who wishes me harm or injury" saying that he's not interested or selfish enough to entertain his hatred for others but would do so for people who deliberately harm him or the people around him because of him. Going back to his school bullying he dosen't care enough to worry about harming others as he already has to worry enough as is about how others are going to hurt him.
@@melonlord1414 me too
I love how different it is from other shounen anime that it actually shows the characters strategically retreating
in other animes its always "i never turn my back on a fight" thing
but in jjk the idea of "if you cant handle the fight, retreat or hold out until Gojo or someone stronger arrives" is always reiterated
the characters' limits are consistently set
personally, this makes the anime more enjoyable
Sounds like DBZ when you said "wait until Gojo or someone stronger arrives."
@@lilveltheplayer2164 Yeah but in this case it makes sense because 1) our protags are literal children 2) Gojo is the strongest. Not just because he trained harder, like Goku. Anyone-any Saiyan at least-could theoretically catch up with Goku, and even failing that we've had Beerus, Whis, and Jiren all put Goku in in a crater.
But Satoru Gojo is the strongest simply by virtue of being Satoru Gojo.
@@lilveltheplayer2164 You pressed the Gojo button. You shouldn'ta did that.
@@zorinus3340 What do you mean? Is it in regards to what happened in the manga?
@@lilveltheplayer2164 No, sorry, that's from DBZA.
In short: It's a shounen that gets better and interesting with more episodes!! No Nonsense No filler just amazing story building and action sequences!
It's seasonal, of course it won't have filler
@@lilveltheplayer2164 i mean mha has a little filler like the beginning of every season to recap and little wholesome moments in between episodes here and there, but I guess you're talking about filler like Naruto and One Piece lmao

So basically, like 90% of shonen anime ever
@@diegovaldes1408 yep. Pretty much lmao.
This anime has the best story ever.
One of my favourite things in this show is that at the end of opening 1, Junpei is shown wearing a Jujutsu High uniform and hanging out with the gang, so you know he'll be redeemed and become one of them. The protagonist wins him over, typical Shounen stuff.
This never happens, and instead he dies horribly. Incredible way to subvert expectations.

"The next words that spilled from my lips came from so deep within my gut that they made everything else I'd ever said feel like a lie."
This show cemented itself as one of my favorites as soon as Yuji let that phrase out. I had to go back and listen to that line multiple times, just to let it sink in completely, and, despite how long it's been since that episode came out, I keep thinking of that phrase. As a writer myself, I've written some fantastic lines to deliver as much rage and drama as I could with the space I had, but that line is just about a work of genius.
Kugisaki being Kugisaki doesn't hurt, either.
Probabbly the best phrase I've ever heard/read in any shonen manga/anime ever
It felt so much like Mob Psycho, tho I have to admit that Mob uses simpler words to describe his extreme feelings

Kurama: “Say no more my guy”
Yuji: “Are you actually going to be helpful this time around, or are you going to scream in my ear the whole time?”
Sukuna: “Suffer, bitch. *SCREEEEEEECCCCHHHHHH*”
Kurama only started to help Naruto midway through the last arc.
Well to be fair the only time kurama actually tried to help him was when he thought he was gonna kill nagato because he actually wanted to beat him anytime other than that (wait there isn’t) was because he wanted to steal his body
sukuna makes yuuji listen to caramelldansen 24/7 just bc he wants to see yuuji lose his mind

What an incredible comment.
One thing I really like about the Kyoto school's head sorcerer having an electric guitar as the focus of his curse technique is that it reads as a commentary that, despite us maybe thinking its old pre-war farts who are upholding traditionalist views in Japan, its really the classic rock loving Boomer generation who are aggressively upholding traditionalist values in order to stay in power these days.
I've never thought of Mahito's power activation; touching others, would have so much thought behind it. Whenever I heard, "if man can grasp something with it's hands he can, and usually will reshape it", it just hit me. Like it all brought it together and made me think about humanity at large
JJK has done such a good job of improving upon its predecessor’s. It unironically has one of the best Baseball game episodes I’ve seen.

I think you mean literaly, not personaly.
I respect you for calling this series as a martial arts manga/anime. A lot of people didn't acknowledge this as one.
I have a theory that Yuji’s grandpa cursed him with his dying breath. And this course forces people to be his friend. Right after his grandpa died everyone’s attitude changed towards him.
Oooo that's very interesting
I’m honestly on board with this!
that is an interesting theory but sadly Gege has debunked the possibility of his grandpa being related to any sorcery act or being a sorcerer at all, so nope on that i guess
Kinda wish his grandpa had a bit more to him. Like imagine if he was an old sorcerer, his son didn’t inherit it, he retires, son gets married. He immediately knows that she’s extremely powerful and not human, but for the sake of his son and unborn grandson, he knew he’d be no match and just get everyone killed
It wasn't a curse. A curse has to be a strong negative emotion.
It was the last farewell words by an old man who was about to die and just wanted to give his grandson a last goodbye with his possible last word with no malice and no needs.
Do I know that JJK is absolutely amazing? Yes. Did I watch a 40 minute long video praising it with information I already know? Also yes.
JJK has a unique concept and they executed it so well, Sukuna gradually became one of my favorite antagonists after I started catching up with the manga when the anime finished.
You make a bold claim and gave zero examples of what makes it unique. It's derivative as fuck bro.
@@Rem694u2 The idea of our main character having an inevitable execution? The way that Sukuna is consistently malevolent and an actual character? The fact that JJK is willing and eager to dive into humanity's relationship with death and negativity as a whole?

The whole "revealing how your jujutsu works makes it more powerful" thing isn't an invention of Akutami.

You know a shows good when, whenever a new character is introduced you say “no wait, THIS is my new favourite character.” Every character in JJK is just great.
Todo will be an amazing teacher. He literally relished in the fact HIS opponent was growing so intensely from his words. A true legend.
Every last word said before death in Jujutsu Kaisen is the curse the dead passed on to the living. What his grandpa said to him before death causes Yuji to just keep helping people and ended up hurting himself in the end.

Greetings from the future! Season 2 of JJK still absolutely fucks

I JUST LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT
It really takes everything that came before and fine tunes it even more than My Hero did
The hell did mha do lmao? It's really good though dont get me wrong
Kaisen's amazing though
Even more than MHA? MHA is fun, but it's far from amazing.
@@chocolatethunder-iy9wv it did everything MB explained in the intro. Didn’t really add anything super innovative, but refined the hallmarks of its genre into one of the best shonen of its day. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Good pacing, fights don’t overstay their welcome
- A protagonist who isn’t constantly passive (looking at you, Ichigo Kurosaki)
- Protagonist is not anyone important purely because of who they are or where they come from (looking at you, Naruto, Ichigo, Natsu, Goku), but rather attracts the attention of a powerful mentor by virtue of his actions
- The villain starts out as subpar, but he grows alongside the protagonist
- Negative sides to the established society are constantly being explored and questioned
- Has no weak main villains (Shigaraki I’ve already covered, All for One is suitably terrifying, Stain is a dark parallel to Deku’s vision of a true hero and embodies the saying “the path to hell is paved with good intentions,” Overhaul is very capable and sickeningly efficient with his psychological abuse of Eri, Gentle and La Brava are extremely charming and empathetic, a reflection of what Deku could’ve been if he had never met All Might)
- Has an amazing Tournament Arc
- Has managed a sharp but believable turnaround for Endeavor, one of the most hated characters of the series when he was introduced
- Decent exploration of side characters given the large cast and the amount of time available
- Angry rival did NOT join the bad guys, even in pretend (looking at you, Sasuke, Ishida)
- The setting aptly explores the role of media and public opinion in a modern society
- A simple message, embodied best during the concert at the culture festival: “anyone can become a hero.” You don’t need to be a rubberman, alien monkey demigod, fox-demon host, or have any special powers at all to be a hero to someone.
Perhaps its hype is too much, but I also believe that most people who say things like “MHA sucks” or “lmao MHA isn’t great at all” aren’t giving the story a fair chance, and are all too often blind to what makes it great.
JJK blows My Hero out the water in every conceivable aspect

Yuuji Itadori is probably my 2nd favorite Shounen protagonist behind Yusuke Urameshi. And Nobara Kugisaki has to be up there for best girl of the year. Love her message against her fight with that little blonde witch. Definitely simping the fuck outta this series! Really gives me a lot of YuYu Hakusho vibes.
I love how They show how all the characters strategize when battling ...it really helps to be invested in the scene.
Then I suggest you watch world trigger, it had one of the power system and the best strategical battle in anime. Such an underrated anime, that you will think that you’ll grow some brain cells after watching it 😂

I'm super glad you mentioned the female characters in this show being some of the best written we've seen in anime. Everything else is nice as far as I'm concerned, but that's by far the biggest difference I can find between it and other shounen manga/anime. Female characters almost never have this level of depth and characterization. Kugisaki specifically could easily come off wrong, but somehow is written in a way that doesn't make her seem rude, but rather a nice person with some issue's she has to work through, just like the rest of the characters. Not to mention she is just a badass along with the other "main characters" and isn't left behind like so many other shows.
This is I can't understand, is something happening in manga which makes her character bearable? So far she is mean and annoying and I can't stand her. I want to like her but her personality is off putting for me
Claymore female characters are way better and are the main characters (only one main male character), so stop hyping JJK females up like that.
@@lilveltheplayer2164 You salty 🧂? I said some of, implying there are others, go pick a fight somewhere else you sad sack.
Yeah JJK women are written really well. Although my favorites would definitely be the women in FMAB. Izumi and Olivier are definitely two of the most badass women in anime.
@@TrueMakaveli50 Absolutely, it's more so in recent memory that female characters are there for fanservice or plot devices and not much else, so this one stands out. There are definitely some great characters out there in anime, but especially in Shounen it's pretty rare.

@@MaxIronsThird Makima >>> Gojo

Something I love about the characters is how batsht crazy they are while also being 3-dimensional.
I mean, look at what my boy Toudo is. He's smart af but also a dumbass while being a bully and somehow still the best friend you could have, absolutely ridiculous while also serious, not even talking about the fact that he's such a chad to reject himself in his own fantasies. And while that's an absolute whirlwind of a description, he feels absolutely coherent. I have NO idea how the f they did that.
the reason i watch videos like this (past deciding whether an anime is worth finding time between full-time grad school and work to watch and ruin my sleep schedule with) is to have someone point and explain the things i love about an anime/manga in a way and with a nuance that i wouldn't even begin to be able to articulate. if you asked me what i liked about JJK i'd say something like its perfectly paced, with good characters ( and a raging crush on Gojo) and that would be the extent of my explanation as to why it is such a fantastic anime. thank you for that.
When you brought up Sukuna being possibly the end game boss, it reminded me how in our Fandom, social media landscape, when writers present clues and foreshadowing of plot lines, and the fans figure it out, some writers deviate from that to try and force shock and surprise, even if its what they had planned. I think it's important to stick to a narrative throughline like that as a writer because even if your audience expects it, a lot of the time they're excited because the idea alone fills them with joyous dread for the outcome.
The point of foreshadowing is so that the reader can predict the outcome. The only difference is that instead of everyone individually being like "called it" while reading/watching alone when they figured it out 5 pages ago or even just a paragraph ahead they get e feeling of where this is going. Now the entire internet basically cloud computes the answer where 1 person provides a solid suggestion, a few thousand others echo it and another person makes another solid suggestion, rinse and repeat until only a few most plausible fan theories are circulating the internet by the time the next episode comes out.
The point of foreshadowing hasn't changed, its just how we interpret it is so much more effective than the old 1v1 we used to do with the author and now authors don't like the entire internet solving their puzzles in a weekend so the sacrifice the original storyline for shock value.
As a writer I drop foreshadowing without even realizing it myself until I re-read for edits after being away from it. As a reader of regular books I have a hard time picking up on it until re-reads, but manga and anime I'm better at catching it, so the visual aspects help get that through while still enjoying picking up additional missed pieces on re-reads.
Well, yeah. That would be bad writing in this case. The main story goal of JJK is "get all Sukuna's fingers and get rid of him for good." Along with the points we've seen what he's capable of, him going down without a fight would be bad narratively.
I love how badass this anime is, it honestly goes without saying.
Literally. It pumped me up so much I've never experienced it to that level before
The bullying Junpei faces isn't a severe issue that only Japanese highschools are faced with. It's a very real, very unfortunate issue that any and all schools face. From the maliciousness of the bullies themselves to the almost "That's not my problem" lackadaisical aloofness of the teachers who gaslight the bullies in to trying to believe that their assailants are their friends. It's truly and disgustingly a sickness that permeates all schools.
Points for JJK.
1. An mc who genuinely feels more human due to how everything effects him
2. Great foil to the mc in Mahito since he's a massive threat and probably the most terrifying villain in the series.
3. The demon inside trope is used well since Sukuna is evil through and through which is refreshing since most shonen mcs make peace and befriend the demon (Black Clover and Naruto for example) which I find unsatisfying since they're built up to be inhuman monsters but basically become a pet or plot device.
4. Every female character is memorable and pretty good characters when in some shonen they're either fan service or cardboard cutouts, Sakura being the prime example of being a poorly written character since she exists to be Sasuke's love interest and she gets no development.
5. Gojo
I feel the demon trope is misunderstood a lot, especially by people like you,You dont understand why Those demons are called demons, they are unsatisfactory to those who dont understand the philosophy of said anime,/manga. Sakura isn't necessarily a poorly written character who merely exists for sasuke.
Sakura does show growth there and there in the series but she is still "okay" written for a shounen female character, in a shinobi world.
@@ignipotent7276Sakura is utter shite....simple as that..
And kurama was a calamity not necessarily evil so you are right.
But OP is right it's nice to see a inner demon actually be a demon in it's entirety for once. It feels refreshing.
@@bu11ymaguire if you dont like sakura say so
I never thought Megumi to be boring , quite the opposite actually, he was interesting from the beginning and I’m pretty sure it was obvious that he was just holding back . I think during the current arc of the manga ( I won’t say because of spoilers ) we’ll definitely see major Megumi development since he’s a pivotal character currently more than ever .
I feel like the show could afford to slow down just a little bit sometimes. Especially in the first half of this season, it was hard for me to reflect on anything that had happened since the show blows past it faster than a black flash.
But then, I also prefer a Shonen adaptation that's too fast to one that's paced like the One Piece anime. In terms of Shonen adaptations, this is a contender for the throne, even if the source material isn't one of my all-time favorites. I really hope every new Shonen can live up to these standards, man.
this definitely stays true even in the manga
not sure if you've read the manga or not, but the pacing thing is actually present in the manga as well, which is something I actually like. I can definitely see how people might not like how fast paced it is, or how quickly they move from plot point to plot point, but I personally find it refreshing. Battles don't usually span multiple episodes, which I love. They give you all the information you need to know and they don't dwell on it, but instead just keep moving along. I can see how some people wouldn't like that though.
Well didn't hit as hard as MHA first season
You’re not wrong, pacing is fast and I’ve heard for some it meant they got confused or felt distanced and dropped it. I personally like that it’s not afraid to do frequent mini time jumps to keep us moving, and it knows exactly what the audience doesn’t want and cuts that out. The manga does slow down in a few spots layer, so you’ll get those reflective moments for sure.
I never thought about it that way, but I think I definitely agree. Spoilers -
For example, after Junpei's death and the Hanami fight. With Junpei in particular, we know this will have a massive affect on Itadori, but we're hardly given any time to grieve. We're just immediately going into the school arc, cracking jokes and hyping fights. And right after Hanami and co.'s attack, BASEBALL! There's not really any problem with either approach, and maybe it'd have worked better for me if I'd watched it weekly rather once it was finished. But nonetheless.
The only thing one needs to know about nen is that bungee gum has the properties of rubber and gum
Oh my god thank you so much I knew I was missing something.
The fact that your audio stutters just like the demon slayer movie specifically when it was on screen or was talking about it is just priceless, even if it was a mistake. Or was it? Coincidence? I think not!
The protagonist isn't a whiny brat, which to me is peak shounen. It's refreshingly not that, though Yuji could be a bit more emotive, I like that he isn't over the top yelling, crying or complaining the whole time.
Ugh YES! This so much, so many times! Thank you!
Not to mention he shows a lvl of maturity and empathy which I think most shonen MCs lack. His fight with Junpei for example, he was willing to admit he was just pushing his beliefs and ideals on him without even considering or knowing about his feelings/suffering. If it was any other MC they wouldn't have stopped to listen but instead kept talking over them.
Most of the shounen protag. aren't even whiny brats, which just makes him a generic shounen protagonist.

I just finished the anime (I know I'm a little late) and I have to say that one of my favorite features of this anime is that it actually gives life to the idea that words have meaning.
Not just in a psychological, mindest sense, but in a combat and lifestyle sense. Other anime, especially shonen ones, tend to focus on long, long battles that have both lots of action and lots of dialogue that eventually end with the victor walking away with either their ideals intact or a new understanding that adds itself to those ideals or completely restructures them (I'm looking at you Naruto)
In Jujutsu Kaisen, Jujutsu Sorcerers have to actively think about what benefits or disadvantages speaking gives them in their life. Whatever they say is the literal threshold between life and death for themselves and others through the explanation of their powers and throught their own internal dialogue that changes their self-perception and self-understanding.
It's a fantasy shonen grounded in reality, if that makes sense.
Shounen genre's got the best world building, change my mind.
Very true
I like how Akutami managed to incorporate the baseball episode as a break from the darkness while also using it as a device to reflect once again things like Megumi's proclivity to bunt. I bet he's a fan of the sport, and I like watching it live.
My favorite sorcerer is Nanamin: I love that he tried to walk away from jujutsu because he just wanted to earn money and live a normal life, and I love that he came back to it because he’s too good a person to let people suffer.
(That’s the impression I got, anyway.)
Well... it wasn't just that. He was disgusted with the JJK world of crazy, cruel assholes running the show (like the Zenins and the principal), only to go out into the real world and find.... nothing changed. The work was soulless and his bosses were still trash. So he might as well go back to being a sorcerer because at least then he'd be helping people.
Nanami: The Jujutsu world is.......SHIT
Normal work is...............SHIT
Itadori: then why be a sorcerer?
Nanami: because I'd rather do the shit I'm better at
I also really liked him, one of my faves definitely :'''(
i love all of them and while gojo and and maki are the one's i'd consider my favourite, Nanamin is definitely the one i respect the most
nah normal work is just shit

your explainations on how domain expansions work is the video ive been looking for but nobody else has them down quite like you do so thank you for that to
Jujutsu Kaisen takes a LOT of inspiration from Hunter X Hunter's Nen power system, particularly in how its contracts and restrictions work. Which is a good thing because Nen is IMO the only one that surpasses the curse technique system in JJK
I agree. JJKs cursed energy only reaches the level it does because of how much it's like Nen. The closer it gets to Nen the better imo
Ya but the depth difference between the 2 is still very high
World trigger suprasses JJK too. Competes with Nen
@@deionsamuels3812 My man. Love all the weapon configurations and strategies in WT
Cursed energy definitely reads as a simpler, less structured form of nen, but I think that might be a strength in this instance. Nen is complex, rigid, versatile, and as close to perfect as a power system can get, but it's also huge. We needed two episodes to explain the fundamentals, and more elements continue to be added throughout two entire arcs. This works for a grand (never to be finished) story like Hunter x Hunter, with well over a hundred episodes and hundreds upon hundreds of chapters, but it'd be way too much for the leaner, shorter and faster paced story of JJK. Ultimately cursed energy serves JJK's story perfectly, it's dynamic, easy to follow, and is flexible and versatile enough for more than enough tactical applications for the entire story, which is all you need a power system to do.
I gotta say, those Jujutsu Strolls at the end could be a spinoff all on its own, they’re so good.
No. Just fucking no. They are cringe as fuck.

People said it was too early for it to be anime of the year, but honestly there hasn't been a show in a while that had so many people absolutely HOOKED from the first episode up until the last episode. People have immediately started reading the manga and there was / is sooo much discourse. And there is absolutely a reason for that.
I was one of the normies hating on it before it aired because of manga readers hyping it up; I gave it a try and by episode 1 I was hooked and all in for the story and ate my words. It’s honestly one of my favorites now
