    Ah the episode that is hated by the so called sakuga experts on insta and TH-cam, you once said that any form of creativity was never liked by many, and sadly it's true. This ep was peak..

      I agree that the episode was peak. It was a visually stunning episode with some great animation. I think it's unfair to hate on an episode just because it doesn't have the same style of animation as other episodes. Every episode has its own unique style and flavor, and I think that's part of what makes the anime so great.

    I have never seen animation like this before. At first I wasn't sure if they had just rushed the episode but after breaking it down myself and watching this break down. I am very impressed how you can take away certain elements to enhance others with very little consequence, even though people including myself will still assume they rushed this episode. I am very happy to admit I was completely wrong and I 100% promote this type of creativity in animation :)

    people have to realize that minimal drawing allow room for smoother action and layout. JJK season 2 goes crazy on perspective. Which show the massive scale and authenticity of the city. The forced perspective is crazy and the pacing of the fight is perfect. A few dead frames yes. But if they try to draw everything perfect on 1 with the work load they have. We will have everything jittery like the Maki vs Dagon scene.

    I liked this episode. It's the like animators did whatever they wanted to because no one was there to stop them.
    And the one thing that stood out about this episode over all the rest, was how they conveyed space. Both fights are in a city that is usually heavily populated. So the environment was not only used well, it's easy to track where the fighters were and where they are going.
    Even Yuji vs Choso fight was hard to track at times, and they were in an enclosed space.
    Also, loved how the rabbits tried to kick Toji in the face 😅
    Still want the animators to take a break. I don't mind waiting if this is what they will give us.

    Like...why animate an episode of nothing but pure and utter chaos, with rigid and stereotypical details? They're not gonna have time to do it that way regardless so they went f*ck it and focused *everything* on the animation, minimizing on the detailings.

    Season 2 animation feels inconsistent tbh ( not hidden inventory arc)
    Almost all the episode feel somewhat incomplete
    (Except choso vs yuji)
    They're still good but u can't help but feel they could have been much better
    I believe this is what happens when u don't give animators enough time
    But they tried their best I guess
    I believe anime only or manga readers deserve animation that is actually complete

      the s1 is more incosistent, s1 has less good animators and the same problem with the schedule, the only very good episode are ep1 ep 7 ep 12 ep hanami vs yuji and todo and ep 24, cause all the dialogue scenes in s1 are very incosistent, with 0 character acting and bad background, so yeah you remember only the good moment and also problably the details visually hidden the animation problems in s1. Also you maybe think "backgrounds aren't so important" and no are like the 50% of the work and also in shibuya arc with a cartoonish style of backgrounds like s1 all would be so odd, also because gege use all place that exist in real life.

      Choso vs Yuji was literally one of the most incomplete episodes of the season while this episode was literally the most complete outside of hidden inventory, you can literally see in Choso vs Yuji that they had to zoom up the animation due to it being incomplete, ep 13 was still amazing but I think your mistaking completeness for complex character art, this episode and ep 13 have different design philosophies *THAT'S IT*
