THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Seeing Panda fight in action like this episode is pretty awesome. He's one tough fighter for sure. In fact, I actually think this episode was interesting for getting more into Panda's personal life story. That animal instinct is no joke.

Props to the studio for making the episode's fight feel meaningful and exciting.

Kind of disappointed between Mechamaru vs Panda fight. Animation felt kind of stiffer than the previous ones, and the fight itself was no better than previous JJK eps. Though the last few cuts between Miwa vs Maki was pretty badass tho. Can't wait for the fight between Maki vs Miwa.

Mechamaru and Panda's dialogue was done out pretty well, and it looks like Mechamaru had a little bit of change of mind thanks to Panda's sincere advice about his thought about humans. I hope these two get along well in the future as well.
Even if I'm alone, I'll go, even if I want to die.
I can hear your voice, saying I shouldn't die.
Even if it's difficult, even if I cry from loneliness
I can feel warmth from deep inside my heart.

Going round-and-round and flowing, time is ever-changing.
I can't remember what happened anymore, but
If I try and close my eyes, I can hear someone's laughing voice
For some reason, now, that is My Most Precious Treasure.

Animation was crazy as always, even better than last week episode. Mappa's doing an amazing job with this adaptation. Maki vs Miwa next week is going to be great. The current pace is at 3 chapters per episode, if it goes on like this we'll have another arc after this one.

We learned about Panda being a cursed corpse and his Gorilla mode is badass, but I honestly prefer the baby version of him xD wouldn't mind a special of principal taking care of him.

Poor Mechamaru, tho. That kinda hit different and it was easy to symphatize with his situation. If he could join his squad in flesh, that would be amazing. Hope we get to see that soon.

The fight between best friends Toudou and Yuuji, I LOVE IT (even with minimal animation). Even if they are from different schools, providing and teaching tactical knowledge in an enviromment that doesn't scream "fair play", this is what makes the buff lord guy one of the best characters in Jujutsu Kaisen.

The highlight fight this episode is EASILY Panda vs. Mechamaru, with all the sakuga of last episode retained in full glory. A cursed corpse mutation vs. a cursed mecha sorcerer, the 2 Pepper-kuns facing against each other. Panda...IS NOT A PANDA!

Even how their beings are formed, going all-out just oozes the manga's charm ten hundred-fold, plus their motivation to improve for each other into full-on reconciliation mode.

Swtiching gears to Maki vs. Miwa and Nobara vs. Nishimiya...it's gonna be another explosive battle all over again.

After today's episode I'm pretty sure they'll adapt Death Painting arc before this season is finished. They covered 3 chapter in this episode like the last week. Most likely we'll enter a new arc with episode 22.

God if I wasn't already sucked in this deep, I would stop watching this show, wait until it was done with this season, and then watch it beginning to end so I wouldn't have to wait the week for the next episode cause this is just torment to me. Panda was awesome and I wanna know what big sis is (don't tell please) and I wanna see next week right now.

I loved how Toudou was teaching his "best friend" Yuuji some points.

Panda is an interesting character. So he is a cursed corpse.

Can't wait to see Maki vs Miwa. The scene with both of them at the end of the episode looked great.

Disappointed? What exactly are you expecting? Someone roll up to your door with a red carpet carrying a home entertainment system with full force feedback, sniff ovision and special chairs you sit in for epic level vibration during cursed energy usage?

Panda! Panda! Panda who's not a panda! So I'm sure lots of anime onlys were wondering for a long while as to what Panda was and how he could move around and everything. Well here's your answer. He's not a real panda. He's a cursed corpse like the ones we've seen before. But not exactly like those others ones. He's a unique cursed corpse. Seeing his battle against Mechamaru animated was amazing!! Everything about it looked great. Loved the direction and cinematography in the fight. Panda going into gorilla mode was awesome!! He looks so dope like that! Mechamaru being messed up from birth and having that huge chip on his shoulder because of it leading to his looking down on Panda for thinking theyre the same. Mechamaru just wanting to be with everyone for real made me sad but hopefully Panda can be he friend and help him. Now we move on to the next duel, Maki vs Miwa!

Seen a couple people complaining about the animation, but it was great? Idk what people be expecting lol. Every episode won’t look like Mahito and Namami. Thought MAPPA handled Mechamaru and Panda’s fight well.

I think the hip hop OST works really well too. Hype for next week’s fight tho.

Damn they did these chapters justice.
From Todo vs Yuji to Mechamaru vs Panda.
Plus Maki's fighting next episode and from the animation they're definitely going to go crazy with her.
At last everyone who started watching JJK for the panda has been rewarded.

Another good episode. The fight between Panda and Mechamaru was flashy and entertaining throughout, plus a nice moment between them at the end to top it off. I like that Toudou is helping Itadori grow during their fight too. It is a fresh dynamic compared to what you usually see.

I still like Toudou teaching his best friend, I can't wait to see how Itadori improves and I wonder if the friendship will continue or Itadori will ignore him once he gets better.
The episode looked good (Toudou and Itadori fighting looked real good) but some parts of the Panda fight were alright looking (the rooftop fight at the end when he was gorilla looked weird) but I am interested to see Panda helping that poor guy and the next fight looks like its gonna be good.

I’m seeing a lot of people complaining about Panda vs Mechamaru, and I see where you’re coming from but honestly, y’all are spoiled as hell. The animation still looks fucking stellar, and would be a highlight in basically every other anime. I wish I could just watch all of Jujutsu Kaisen, I don’t know how I wait for this every week.

Toudou teaching Yuuji in the middle of the fight was nice, he has become one of my favourite JJK characters. I can't wait to see more of this fight between those "best friends".
Mechamaru receiving Valentine batteries had me laughing hard lol.

100% agreed with you. From my perspective, so many people commentators seem to be chasing the dragon with every single episode of every single release like it should be more greater and more magnificent than the last. Personally, I don't much care about the animation, I'm in it for the story development.

p.S, kick ass fight scenes and character awakenings do get stuff bonus points ;)

Great to finally see Panda in action! I was wondering what his case was. Pretty interesting as to having 3 cores. Gorilla mode is pretty epic. Fight wasnt as flashy as previous battles, but honestly it will do.

Itadori and Toudou have quite the bromance going on there, I love how Toudou is actually teaching Itadori to better his cursed energy use.

Maki vs Miwa next week, I look forward to that!

A fierce battle between Toudou and Itadori becomes educational for Itadori. Guess Toudou really wants to have fun with his friend. Looks like we won't see that battle for a while judging by the preview for next episode. Sucks but even so, every other battle is sure to be intense and thrilling.

Mechamaru vs Panda. Panda has his brother and sister within in him therefore he has three cores. Very interesting. Their battle looked like a game of tag with big flashy moves added. Hand to hand combat in this show is much more entertaining to be honest.

Well I'm excited for next weeks episode!!
