| The animation quality is objectively great. Whether one likes the style or not is subjective. I personally really liked it, it was super cinematic and cool. |
| The only complaints I have are a couple of iconic panels not being as powerful in the adaptation, mostly the Toji parallel and "She took it with her". But they're super minor, overall it was absolutely amazing. I do understand those who didn't like the music, but I think it's a legitimate interpretation. The massacre is meant to be cathartic for Maki, and they're getting what they deserve. It works. |
| Contrary to appearances, the anime didn't change these fights significantly. The episode stuck closely to the manga, but was more "artistic." It's clear that Maki is well-liked there, and she got good animation and overall everything. The only thing I would nitpick is the music in some scene. The rest was basically like in manga |
| As an anime-only, this episode was a mixed bag for me and that's coming from someone who likes JJK and Maki being a favourite JJK character. OST choices were out of place, the animation styles felt like they were constantly switching, thus making it kinda hard to follow, the whole Kill Bill reference thing was there for no reason (at least it would have been fine if it was for like a move or like a scene or two, but not almost half of the episode), Mai's death and sacrifice kinda came out of nowhere I guess, the last punch Maki did against Naoya with the random frame and sound freeze from multiple angles was just whack and felt a bit stupid (at first I thought my internet went off or the browser started lagging), overall the pacing felt pretty rushed and I would say it would have been better if it had two episodes instead of one. The episode wasn't bad at all but I also can't say it was amazing or peak, or whatever. I did enjoy seeing the shitty clan get absolutely annihilated and Maki getting more screentime. (Not a manga reader but it seems that the majority of them have mostly very positive feedback). |

| The OST was absolutely horrendous, everything else was great. |
| The animation was great, the adaptation not so much. |
 |
| I really like certain parts and wasn’t crazy on others, I’m generally not a major fan of the style they used but I think generally it was well animated. I loved how they animated Naoya’s cursed technique though I’m personally not a big fan of the more rough and simplistic style of animation they used but It’s not a bad style it’s well animated just not to my tastes. But it didn’t take away from my enjoyment though I generally liked the episode. |
| Its not about the animation. Its about the poor storyboarding and directing decisions. The music choice was poor in the middle part. The scene transitions was jarring. Noaya doing all these 0 damage punches, which wasnt in the manga, was just silly. He looked pathetic. This episode was nothing more than just some spectacleslop |
anerbitton said: It's amazing how nobody notices this is 1 to 1 homage to Kill Bill vol. 1, where she fights the crazy 88 gang. The reflection of the katana to show enemies behind her, moving to black and white, the camera following the guy getting a star to his face (in the movie it was an axe), the plucking of the eye. It was literally the kill bill scene. Great execution. hope they had copyrights. Pretty much almost every single person points that out. Go look at the ep 4 discussion thread. |

| strongly disliked how the toji maki comparison panel was done. |
 |
| I loved it. I've been taking a break from anime and came back for JK, and MAPPA has not disappointed. It just seems that people who are disagreeing with the quality of this or that were either readers reconciling with the manga's first impressions or people with too high expectations. |
