This was just a waste of time to watch. I don't really know how else to explain just how badly I dislike this arc. This is the arc that made me drop Demon Slayer's animation for a long time.
I came in pretty good faith hoping for some epic fights with Demon Slayer after Season 1 was ok. I say ok because the Spider Mountain has the same issue that this season does. Why are we spending over half the season on fight scenes?
No amount of pretty visuals and dialogue could keep me from turning off from shear boredom from hearing Tanjiro monologue again for
...
the 1000th time about his friends or how to kill the demons.
Damn, this arc wasn't so bad in the manga either? Or maybe the pacing for the anime summoned inspiration to make this the most tasteless, unfullfilling, lengthwise, driest, agonizing experience they could push out to milk this series for all it's worth.
Damn, I don't like to be harsh, but frankly I'm not even sorry. They butchered this one.

I have really enjoyed Beastars from the first season, but Final Season Part One, how to describe it. It almost has a feeling that it's filler? Not much happens in the first half that isn't narrative to build for what Part 2 will focus on. Some parts feel there just to probably forgotten whenever Part 2 releases. Did we really need the whole coffee bean guy to show up constantly?
While I don't mind world building and a slower pace, there's also the narrative that we are supposed to sympathize with the mixed race (nice, some real world problems are actually really fun when they
...
meet with a fictional setting) while suddenly giving us our very own main character as one of "the good ones". I hate this, I have always hated this when it comes to Beastars. Legoshi is always our "one of the good ones" first as a carnivore and now as a mixed carnivore. Cool, so we are back to season 1 of "don't stereotype please, see, our hero is a representation of what will resolve all this stigma and racism, oh sorry, speciesism, by once again being the one who is in the misunderstood demographic! But this time! In a new season so we aren't just taking from literally season 1's critiques racist analogies!"
Can this narrative work in a good way? Of course it can, but damn does it feel like this plot was introduced so late into the concept that it feels unnaturally forced. I can't over how unnecessarily it ends up feeling for Legoshi once again to be the all round misunderstood "good one" when in reality, if you are a minority, you know pretty well that society isn't clear cut and isn't nice about you being a minority, and having a fictional plot tell you oh hey your are a cool minority as long as you are just like Legoshi tehe is sorta an insult that really hurts.

Oh, teen adolescence as an art piece. Absolutely stunning visuals against the madness of teen frustration and angst, truly a coming-of-age anime that's full of nonsense and isn't ashamed to be loud and nonsensical. It's a gag anime half the time and yet you can easily fall in love with the characters, you have no idea what's going on most of the time plotwise but still end up laughing at it being so ridiculous and so cool. This one holds a special place in my heart.
I love the art in this the most, but the characters too. Sometimes all it takes is to be hit
...
by a Vespa woman to totally be thrown for a ride that is FLCL. If you want an anime that's just unserious and yet really artistically expresses itself in the undertone of the narrative, this is a great one.

SPOILERS
FOR CHAPTERS 90-108
So I have on and off reading this on Webtoon since it's release in 2022. Woah, realizing I have dedicatedly been a reader to this kinda catches me off guard. I've been an avid reader of Naver publications for as long as 2016? I feel like roughly around the beginning of it's more TLed series. I have loved Love Operation for being a gimmick that's more unique among many webtoons that are clichés romances. There's so many things I liked originally about the point system and the characters being more than "Let's pretend to cheat" shock factor Tropes that first pulls you into
...
the premise of the comic.
However, the point system and the plot gets totally derailed with a time jump. Everything that was built up and the characters I loved just seem to be pushed to a time jump so we can have an adult romance? It's hard to recover from how fast the punch of the time skip is. It's so hard to be comfortable with without saying it feels rushed and like the author wants to force a conclusion.
I love this series, despite this weird decision. I intend to finish it even if it's just a set up for a mature romance. But it's truly starting to feel like I can relate to the villain of the series and wondering why such a great story really needed this or if the author could have simply done this as a sequel or reattached AU.
Sorry for complaining about it... I still intend to support the series until the conclusion. It's hard to not be attached and hope for a resolution, despite some parts I feel confused on. For now my rating will remain kind of mixed, will update when the series concludes.

So far, it has definitely felt like an improvement to what ever the heck Netflix tried and failed to deliver. While I will say improvement, I would not note it as truly masterful. I suppose animation simply cannot do the right amount of justice to Junji Ito's work. His manga draws you in to every page, leaves every part with a sense of dread and a piece of art that bares fears into ever stroke of ink. It may be unfair to be so attached to the manga, but I do not fully hate the animation for Uzumaki. I cannot say that I really felt
...
even mild appreciation for other attempts to animate his work, as best as I tried to finish them. I rather like that Uzumaki felt more genuine while remaining in the manga style of black and white to stay faithful to the source. Dark ink against the panels are undoubtedly what is pronounced in Junji's artistic choice. I did not even feel like I was missing anything from their choice to leave color out. For what they did to make this production work as an animation and to show off the beautiful horror of Junji's Uzumaki, I decidedly will leave it at 4.5/5. I think that as a long time reader of Junji's work, this is more of the style I would love to see if there are any plans in the future to bring out more animations. (Please... please leave what Netflix did in the past.)
