Caught up on 2/15/24. It's probably kinda shallow, I don't hate any characters at least, but it's very "hype" and I love these types of fights, very technical with barrier rules and bullshit powers (that's a complement in my head at least). The art is messy but I like how the action is choreographed and can tell the anime is going to go fucking crazy with it when they do the culling game and Maki vs the Zen'in clan and beyond. Has some ideas I find at least a bit interesting, Gojo is like Superman not only in power but his affect on politics, the villains have to come up with some Lex Luthor-esque plan to seal him. Something about Sukuna is just done right, nothing about him makes me feel "ow the edge", he's very analytical, he's kind of like Thanos (idk if making capeshit comparisons is good for convincing people tho). I also like this type of setting in general, modern day in our world but fighting happens unknown to society (until a city is wiped off the map), kinda like JoJo how stands are a self-keeping secret. It also scratches that itch I have for anime with levels of destruction actually comparable to DBZ (or Man of Steel), a lot of stuff gets compared to DBZ like YYH, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece but none of those have characters that can casually destroy a city or even the moon and actually do it (since it's not really the point of those works). All the fights in the culling game are cool and characters introduced don't feel unnecessary. There's even a Bobobo fight in here and it works. But it's just a lot of ideas, it doesn't reach something like HxH in characters or themes despite being a big influence, at least even Naruto tried to have themes about war and nuclear weapons and talk no jutsu. I guess one of the more interesting plots is the flashback arc with Geto but he was already killed off in Vol. 0 before the series even began, Kenjaku's just a different guy entirely and I don't think the series is going to be able to pull off a "freeing humanity from cursed energy" ending in its current direction either. One thing I do find dumb is cursed techniques are entirely innate, as in only genetically inherited? But some characters just happen to awaken to a CT that strongly ties to their profession like a lawyer or comedian. Other CTs seem hard to imagine they would have been passed down for a thousand years like the 24fps one when it's so strongly tied to a modern invention like animation.

Some of the art is crazy but I don't really give a shit about the story or characters at all, it's all so immature. Even though I like the art I'm not sure I like how some fights are choreographed, but I'm sure they'll look great whenever they get animated like how MAPPA's doing with JJK. It's just this is what people have been hyping up? I don't get it sorry.
