| Jujutsu is finally back with its big third season, and it seems TOHO actually gave the team a decent schedule this time, even a split cour... though, if Dandadan's fucked up production thanks to it's special premier thing is anything to go off of, these movie release gimmicks really just hurt the production more than anything. Regardless, glad to see that iconic Gosso Vision is still around too; pretty sure he boarded this episode. Hopefully it won’t just last for the first few like last time though lol. Jokes aside, it really looks like things might be more stable behind the scenes now. Having a new AniP with Seshimo is a good sign, and since CSM isn’t under his line, that’s a relief too. From the two episodes they’ve shown so far, things definitely look more polished. We pick up right where we left off with Yuuta, but first, gotta say, Yuuji and Choso are such a great duo. They’ll be carrying this season for a bit, and it’s nice seeing their dynamic animated. The big early focus here though is Naoya also coming after Yuuji. Yeah, in case it wasn’t clear, the jujutsu world is not the same anymore, and Naoya’s really as annoying as I remembered from the manga. Dude really out here doing his best Gojo impression with that fake “I don’t care” attitude during his fight with Yuuji and Choso. Actual clown xD Whole thing with Yuuta though, he's actually taking his stuff seriously. Just in terms of cursed energy output, from what I remeber he’s technically stronger than Gojou, but Gojou’s still way more broken in versatility. Yuuta’s power isn’t very cost efficient either, his attacks are strong but drain a lot, so most of his moves are meant to end fights quickly. That makes him dangerous in a different way, especially given his colder personality. Yuuji has a shot against him... but yeah, well lol. And ofc, Choso continues to be the MVP. No surprise there, and it’ll stay that way for most of the season. Definitely invest in Choso stocks, he’s the only tolerable one till a certain gambler shows up. Solid start overall, just setting up what’ll be an action heavy season ahead. |

| There's a cam rip with subtitles on that big anime torrent website. I normally wouldn't watch cam but I heard the animation was really good and I needed something to cleanse my pallet after One Punch Man season 3. My only gripe with the rip is that someone's head was there but otherwise it looked ok and the subs really helped. Animation is absolutely incredible. |

| Came back from watching Execution with my mom almost 2 hours ago, season 3's looking pretty good and I'm so hyped. |

| @lucjan So a camprip of what? the first episode? or? |
 |
| Maki Zenin she is so cool she is such a queen, she is first shown reading a book and that pose is so stunning.. Yuki not far off. Maki, Yuki and meimei are the absolute queens |
| My goat Maki wit the fire tattoos and short hair animation different but still peak now have to wait another 2 months 💔💔 |
 |
| i love choso so much. i'm so hyped for this season |
| This is the first time i hear of A series (not movie) being in theaters. *thinking face* |
|
| Cinema! They were cooking once again. Once again amazing visuals for the OP, the song however has to grow on me. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Honestly 10/10 premiere. It was so satisfying finally seeing Okkotsu and Itadori meet, and in such a stylish and epic manner too. That early shot of Okkotsu landing on Itadori with his sword was really beautiful and the following fight was really unique for the series with the flowing sword style as opposed to the usual energy based fighting. The meeting with the Zen'in brothers was honestly really amusing and Naoya quickly became an enjoyably hateable character. His Kansai accent, women-hating attitude and false confidence were all brilliantly undone in his fight with Choso. Great episode all round. |
 |
| just got back from the execution movie. the animation and lighting were solid, but choso hard carrying. |
 |
| Great animation but why did they fuck up some of the cool manga panels. They fucked up yuta's entry, bro literally looks zesty. And when ruka grand yuji is a great panel too but they didn't do justice to that in the anime. |
| Seen the movie. Would love to use this instead to thank Mappa for bringing this masterpiece of a manga to live. There's no second of the episode that felt cheap. No time to blink eyes. If you did, you would miss the amazing action whether it's a dialogue between characters or an actual brawl, they never used cheap methods. The plottwist comes around episode 2. I can't wait for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 to start and Maki to shine like she's never before. This is a season where all fans of each character will get what they've been asking. The time for curses is over, it's now humans trying to off other humans. A.K.A THE CULLING GAME ✅️ |
 |
| First episode on its own is solid, but it just did not work with this compilation film because where episode 1 leaves off feels so disjointed from the rest of the film lol |
 |
| Gege Akutami's Jujitsu Kaisen is back after 2 years since the Shibuya Incident, and it's fair to say that things are not looking teh same in the Jujutsu world anymore. King Gnu's OP is good, but this is to be expected for the Shonen series that has really picked up its paces since its beginnings. Even after the Shibuya Incident, Naoya Zennin really has grown to become the irritable prick, though Yuji and Choso's partnership has grown to quite the familiarity. However, Choso recognizing Okkotsu's presence in their fight coming after Yuji fending off Naoya, and this is a big fight since Satoru Gojo's disappearance. Even worse, is Yuta joining in the fray against the fight against Yuji, and is the disciple of Satoru Gojo going to have his life end early before him? jo0ji's debut Anisong is crazy good, I must admit. Gore, blood and violence...welcome back JJK onto the anime scene. |

JJK is back and the start of downfall.
| @MegamiRem Manga readers also promised AOT and MHA were “ruined.” Their track record isn’t exactly trustworthy. |
| The opening of the year! Gosho, Yajima, Niwa, and Yamasaki created something visually breathtaking, standing far apart from the old OP aesthetics. This is what an opening is meant to be: a visual stage that builds anticipation and prepares you for what’s coming next.  |

| @MegamiRem I'm sure anime onlies gonna think the ending is fine, even though manga readers treated it like the world's end. |
| Imagine normies saying: "Peaky Blinders is mid and overhyped. Just another typical crime drama show. Breaking Bad is much better.". Or: "Without action choreography no one would've cared about John Wick. Kingsman, on the other hand, is not like other action franchises!". |
| Holy Gosso Cinema. Gorgeous OP visuals as well as the banger song by King Gnu. The start is as perfect as I could've hoped it would be. So good. Cinematic. Yuji's scenes were so well done. Everything was done well. Beautiful animation. Incredible boards. Action was pristine as well. But the somber moments were the best. So good. Yuji dead. RIP. |
 |
| 60% is really low. Was the first episode this bad? |
| Well, that was one hell of a first episode. |
| I really took the art of the first season for granted CGI is really grating to the eye and it just keeps getting worse Occasional good proper art only makes the bizarre CGI moments stand out even more and it's messing with my sense of immersion Other than that, pretty nice start. I already like Naoya more than other asshole characters |
 |
And we're totally back! |
| Of course only Yuuta who can make me love Jujutsu. Choso is tuff too, unsurprisingly x |
| slow pace, philosophical. masterpiece yeeaaaah shinji |
   |
| We're back with Jujutsu and with it comes a blood bath so be ready to wash your hands. The somber presence throughout the whole episode sets us up on how dire the circumstances are. Not only with the different camera shots that sometimes tries to do in vain to show authority or fear but also the sakuga big impacting shots in battle. It's time for Okkotsu to come back into the spotlight after 0 came out all those years ago. Also Naoya is actually more competent than he seems. I like the animation from the opening but the song will need some time to get used to. The ending is fine for now, artistic for sure. |

| Already so much happened this episode. Itadori's mom came to help him from the dark? Very interesting. The color palette is so diverse and I love it so much. I was literally shivering the entire time because of the suspense this episode had. Why didn't the other 2 Zen'in members go against Naoya to become the head? What's his cursed technique? So many questions... |

| ugh the animation is sub mid |
 |
| Peak is back in town |
| I knew Yuta was strong, but I didn't know they feared him like Gojo. Wonder why Yuta is so fixated on killing Yuji? Was kinda expecting him to have a little bit of sympathy since he was in a similar situation once, having an execution sentence and all. |

| @Uncrow Aside from CGI backgrounds (which were arguably worse in season 1) there is no CG character animation. It's just that the modern animation style tries to look like that. |
We are so back, great first episode. Naoya is a funny guy, bro think he's the main character. The best arc start now. |
| That was a bad cliffhanger. Goodness gracious. Wow. |
