My Honest Thoughts On Season 2's Visuals | Jujutsu Kaisen Animation and Art Style Discussion

  • With Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 nearly a month away, I wanted to discuss the very clear visual change from Season 1 and Season 2's new trailer! I am NOT AN ANIMATOR, so it should be disclosed that my thoughts and discussion aren't to be taken seriously.
    As many of you know, Sunghoo Park (previous director who did season 1) will NOT BE directing season 2. That role belongs to Shota Goshozono! He will be debuting as a series director with Jujutsu Kaisen. He's a very talented animator and known for his unique approach towards scenes. From what we saw in the trailer, I'm very excited and still have high hopes for season 2!

    Cool video! With Arifumi Imai pretty much confirmed to participate, Vercreek calling dibs to animate a fight in Shibuya arc, and Gosso's direction and connections, it's safe to say that the peaks of this season will be legendary masterpieces.
    Complex designs make it so that in pursuit of a well polished product, the staff is simply unable to be too ambitious, as visible with JJK 0, which was pretty average as far as an animated action movie goes especially considering the staff list. The simpler art just gives so much more creative freedom to the animators, plus depending on the animation directors like Hironori Tanaka or Takuya Niinuma, the art can be super detailed for their episodes or scenes.
    What most of us are worried about is consistency, since I've heard that there's a lot of action in the second arc. Hell there was at least one action scene in almost every episode of season 1 as well, and looking back there were only a few obvious sacrifices like episode 10.

    The only, and I mean ONLY thing I'm going to miss about the old art style is how intricate and beautiful Gojo's eyes looked. They definitely don't look quite as good in the new art style. Otherwise, I much prefer the simpler designs. It brings back vibes of older shows like Naruto or Cowboy Bebop which still have better animated action than 90% of anything else out there. Especially when it comes to actual fight choreography.

      Still s1 did had dynamic moments already, the fights WERE beautiful.
      simpler style just gives more time to make more frames to make it more smoother and yes s2 does look smoother but tbh it looked really great in s1 either way srsly who cares they could have made simpler shit in fights to make themselves comfortable but it just looks like csm, reminds me of csm not Gege's amazing manga work which only s1 and movie did.
      That's what it's missing the unique style it had was being similar to gege's work aka jjk manga style.
      And in animation making more frames (means making it smoother) doesn't always make it better than the choppy animated version for example in spiderverse itself has the choppy animated style and it feels more better than the smooth animation everyone is doing today.
      It just separates it from others.

In fact Iam waiting for the next episode (premature death) haha, gotta still respect the animators and new director this season bros.

    The anime now is flat, has less contrast, less flare, boring angles, and no priority on any elements, every aspect of season 2 is just fine, nothing exceeds in any area being visual or soundtrack, still drawing or in-between drawing.
    No I'm not a hater, I loved the manga and the latest chapter is looking like someone getting clapped in half maybe isn't the end of the world, but season 1 really had a uniquess even more compared to the manga, however while season 2 has "fixed" compositing issues it hasn't enhanced the show overall, at least personally for me it hasn't. Season 2 adapts the manga well enough but doesn't add a lot more, it simply is ok for JJK.
    And for me, personally, JJK is not ok, it's amazing!
    Jujutsu Kaisens 1st season is a lot better than the manga.
    Jujutu Kaisens 2nd season is a little better than the manga.
    NOTE: THIS IS MY OPINION, I'M OPEN FOR A BRAWL.

    “minimal/simpler art direction” and “time constraints” are contradictory? MAPPA needs to stop having so many projects going at once or quality goes down, that’s their issue.
    Personally I don’t like the Hanami vine’s scene. If giving an inch is “simplifying the art for more dynamic movement” then they end up taking a mile by adding excessive dynamic movement, which makes it all a blur anyways.

    As an animator, I'm really glad you made this video. Many don't seem to understand why art becomes simpler in well-animated sakuga scenes. Every second of animation seen is about 24-30 drawings. It makes more sense to sacrifice immense detail in every drawing in order to get a more fluid product.
    I mean if you can have both, but it takes an immense amount of effort. More than what's usually done.

    I've seen a lot animators say that the new animation shows improvements in compositing, fluidity and color grading. And the other part is a slight style change due to different animators. The linework is thinner and the models less detailed which makes motion more fluid- imagine animating an intense fight with a model that has too many wrinkles in their clothes and complicated shading or textures. It would take too much time. The camera angles also looked more dynamic and the backgrounds were less busy which distracts from the action. In short words, it looks promising. It's different from the aesthetic of season 1 but being honest here... I like it way better.

      I HIGHLY doubt it, 2 reasons:
      1. We already got the Shibuya Key Visual AND Shibuya Character Designs (Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, Maki, Gojo and Nanami) Both are shown to be in the simple style.
      2. I don’t think them changing art styles was a choice, rather it’s more convenient with the production constraints. Considering the release of the JJK 0 movie and chainsaw man S1, it would’ve taken too long for S2 to be well animated with S1’s heavy art style.
