Pleasantly surprised, this is looking really good. Good designs, likeable chars, nice atmosphere, and it has soul. Also gives me a lot of Bleach vibes.

This is pretty much looking to be my personal AOTY, if it keeps being this good.

the first episode's staff aren't from GoHS's staff actually and park didn't work on it but perhaps they'll appear in the second half of the first arc since park could be was working on GoHS in the time this episode was in production.
Park did work on it, he even did a cut in this episode. Plus, during the GoH panel on the Crunchyroll Virtual Expo, he mentioned that he worked on both at the same time



i could be mistaken because i don't speak japanese but i didn't saw him credited in the ending credits f the first episode but if he wasn't in that he might come in the next ones since he was working on GoHS.

I expected the animation to be a little better tbh, considering it's being made by MAPPA. But the action scenes were pretty good ig.

I saw that this had Horror listed and I said, "Oh no. I can't watch this. This is my number 1 weakness!" However, the temptation was just too good and I watched this. DO NOT REGRET THIS! The animation was so good. This was such a great start! I am only worried that there will be more gore that will make me a little squeamish. I will give it al I got tho cause this looks FANTASTIC!

Fantastic first episode. Humor, horror, action were all spot on. Characters were great. The comedy scene at the beginning with the teacher reminded me of Urusei Yatsura. This is the blend of humor, horror and action that we need. If it keeps up, and the Higurashi remake turns out to be good, this could be a great season for horror.

Damn this first episode really looks good. I had problems with the pacing of some scenes but I enjoyed it.

I got some good laughs here and there. Especially on the part when Itadori said if he can eat the freaking finger lol.

I have high hopes with this one. I hope MAPPA can deliver with the rest of the season since this looks promising.

4/5

Great passing until the plot happens. So many overused tropes. The power level is too high. MC is a god. All the remaning story will just be BS since the MC can do anything the plot want's it too do. It's a special effects anime, but even those weren't that impressive for the frist episode.

From someone who has read the manga

>So many overused tropes.
True at the beginning but as time goes on it uses fewer tropes and the ones there are executed nicely.

> The power level is too high
the power cap is established very early on and at max it seems to be city-level destruction at best and only 2-3 characters can do that
So you're wrong

> MC is a god
Wrong

> All the remaning story will just be BS since the MC can do anything the plot want's it too do
Wrong, till now everything that has happened has been very logical and makes sense





Atleast wait for few episodes to pass on those judgment.

Generic episode, like nothing is original. The execution is like GOHS felt rushed and comedy scenes are forced. The characters seems bland, but its pilot so maybe will change. The animation is nice too, I hope the studio consistent with it because its a action shounen anime. Overall pretty bad episode from a anime only viewer imo. Sidenote the end scene seems interesting.


I am not gonna tell you that you're wrong or what you should or shouldn't like but the "felt rushed" part is a bit strange. They literally only adapted chapter 1 for the first episode IMO. There is no reason to think this will be rushed because of GOHS, Crunchyroll is the reason why and the budget they gave MAPPA, Jujutsu Kaisen on the other hand is one of the new big shounen jump mangas with a big producer and publisher and they have 24/25 episodes to work with and just take their time. MAPPA has tons of good adaptations so GOHS really has no place in judging the pace of an adaptation for the studio.

seems that is just a assumption with 3 show airing this season plus SNK with rumored 30 episodes and JJK 2 cours. That is worst possible take of the studio. And with their original anime airing too. With their track record with 2cours and original anime is not good. Witb that trainwreck adaption of GOHS. Nothing guaranted with assumption.

This...is very good.

After an amazing showing with their adaptation of Dorohedoro, I was looking forward to this when it was announced that MAPPA was animating this (I was already interested, but that made me even more interested), and I wasn’t let down, so far, but that depends on if the source material goes downhill or if MAPPA butchers the adaptation later on.

I am a little bit late, but I really enjoyed this first episode. Can’t wait to see more of this.

4.5/5 for this episode. It’s MAPPA, a studio I really like thanks to their Dorohedoro adaptation, so, is there anything more to ask?

Hell yeah!! Jujutsu Kaisen is here!! Loved this premiere. Hit all the notes. Only adapted the first chapter but that makes sense with it being a super sized chapter of nearly sixty pages. Anyways, this was awesome. Yuji and Megumi teaming up for the first time. Hearing the explanation for how curses work in this world. Always gotta be some dumb kids who invite in these troublesome spirits who then cause a ruckus. Mappa continuing their excellence with how this premiere looked. Fantastic to watch! Yuji is a good boy to have as our protagonist. He's got a solid head on his shoulders and a good heart as we see him literally jump right in to face that curse attacking his friends. Taking his grandpa's last words to heart. Really pumped to see this show develop over his two cour run! Love the opening too, one of the best this year!
