Ah the episode that is hated by the so called sakuga experts on insta and UA-cam, you once said that any form of creativity was never liked by many, and sadly it's true. This ep was peak..
Truly one of the best episodes I've seen
Who are those sakuga expert in youtube?
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.
This was the best ep of the fucing year. Better than AOT(🐐), oshi no ko, friren, Demon slayer you name it. It was perfect
I 100% agree.@@SOLDAT_MENDES
I refuse to believe that the next episode will look better than this masterpiece.
Ya, I'm tempering my expectations hard at this point to not let them run too wild lol
Maybe bcoz GO will be involved since arai already said he will help miso and GO and GO didn't appear in miso's ep so I assume he is probably in next ep with miyajima
@@userK894Can we expect Weilin Zhang?
@@reruarikushiteru i refuse to believe its the case bc when tf did they assembled a team better than this one? but yh i think ep 17 will prob rival this episode in terms of direction,if u know the manga content of ep 17 i know they can do crazy things,gosso directing next ep would be insane
@@seya_2 maybe but chances r very low in this schedule
It's crazy how ppl were comparing the Sukuna's arrow scene in the trailer & fanmade only for the ep to make it all redundent. Genuinely amazing.
People just have no f*cking ideia what animation is
They think art style is animation
That's why stiff AF looking episodes with inconsistent models from S1are called good
@@marcioamaral7511 If they care about art style and not the animation. Record of Ragnarok is the perfect anime for them. Beautiful crispy art, but ass animation.
@@ThatOneGuy___
Beyond ass 😂💔
@@marcioamaral7511nah s1 animayion is absolutely not stiff.
Over detailed / inconsistent? Maybe, as I do prefer the smoother style found in this ep and pretty much the entirety of Hidden Inventory arc, but cmon, season 1 is great
@@ThatOneGuy___ lol =)))
This episode was crazy. I hope they dont screw up the rest of the season with their terrible schedule. I wouldn’t be mad if they took a break for a week or 2
this ep has probably the best schedule of the entire season 2,aint no way they were able to do all that in 2 or 3 months,they got lucky with yuji vs choso ep but u cant humanly do all this in a period under 3 months so i think this ep was probably in mind since the start of season 2,after all almost all of ep 16 staff never appeared before expect for rio and arai
@@radoncoding if they dont do that no one will ever comeback to work on jjk,they had an insane amount of animators going crazy so hopefully jjk season 3 will have a healthy schedule
@antooh1167 unfortunately Manabu will overworked them since the jjk team has to do csm after jjk and that's if Manabu doesn't accept another high profile show, like one punch man 😬
@@catlike9444
Manabu is honestly nuts...he says the craziest shit all the time like it's normal
@@marcioamaral7511 like recently when he says he wants mappa to meet the same level of quality as ufotable and Kyoto while also working through overproduction 😬
7:39
I love how the temperature on the temperature display thingy rises due to the heat emitted by Jogo's attacks
Wow I just noticed that 😮😅😅
We also see literal glass melt later on. Pure insanity lmao
Even the part where Toji is flicking the debris on the bunnies were monstrous
This episode was so consistently mesmerising
I guess some people won't like it, and there's nothing wrong with that. But saying the animation is bad, lazy etc is straight up insanity
Exactly..
People are just acting spoiled for no reason and doesn’t appreciate style changes..
This is actually impressive and resembles mob psycho.
It's pure ignorance
i haven’t seen a single person say the animation is lazy.
@@EnemyStandUser_i see 70% of people saying that ,problably i'm in the wrong side of tik tok and instagram
@@EnemyStandUser_seen many
Coincidentally I had bought a new TV and OMFG I CAN'T PUT IT INTO WORDS HOW GOOD THIS WAS
fr this looks godly on an oled tv
I watched it on an ultra wide monitor and the jogo Sukuna fire scene looked even better than it did for you
You couldn't have change it at a better time, right when we're in the peak region of shibuya arc
Bro you guys are calling me poor in 99 different languages
2 well animated fights in one episode. You dont see that often. 10/10 episode
I finally know what this style is named!! Kagenashi is my absolute favorite style for animation, something about it makes it so dynamic!! Sometimes more details make stuff worse (cofcof GoHands cofcof), its sad to see a lot of people don’t like/understand the amazing potential of this style tho…
I like kagenashi/No shadow style of animation.i like this fluid hand to hand fast paced fighting.
Ikr its so fucing better than standerd general looking art style of anime
@@KNM_Piashits anime not real life not every single episode or bit of movement has to look crisp and clean ITS DRAWINGS THAT MOVE and sadly people are too ignorant to understand that there are different styles of animation.
@@user-gl5pf2uh2rYeah..
And that makes me so irritated, They think they know what they are talking about..
But i appreciate different animation styles as the animators get alot of creative freedom but get shunned by twitter people that don’t appreciate their work or know how impressive this actually is..
@@Robin503 exactly but yk twitter is in general a fucking war battle doesn't matter what the topic is💁♂️
Naruto did that a lot
This episode was insane. Innovation in animation is so fun to watch skilled key animators pursue. So many good shots it's hard to count. A day before this episode came out haters were saying this episode looks bad based on a few preview images. I couldn't believe how ignorant that part of the community still is about how animation works.
i fucking love how the art is evolving to look more like parts of the manga, it looks so good
10:06 I’m sorry WHAT
Yes ! Apparently according to leaks it will have 30k frames💀
I don't want to believe this but a very reliable leaker also said that next episode will be equal to this or even better
@@mrr_kizo8707welp, he was fucking right
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 :)
It pisses me off how much hate this ep is getting. It's like people are lying to themselves that this ep looks bad. Even a casual watcher can tell that this ep stood out from everything else we've ever seen in jjk
people are hating on this ep? i havent seen one online tbh
It's the same complaints those ppl use anytime a super minimalist style is used in an anime episode. They'll say "this looks bad or amateurish. Where's the detail?" *Cues Baby Noises*
They'll never get animation is an expression of movement and episodes like these thrive off of exaggerated art and idiosyncrasies in movements to create dynamic animation. It's all style and preference.
@@randomdudelol5263ive seen plenty, its literally painful everytime one of these people say something like "oh the art looked lower quality"
or even worse "this looks like a fan animation", its like theyre blind or smth, because having flexible character models and shadowless characters, you get god tier ANIMATION with a lot of movement, this is would take like 20 times longer if they had more detailed designs
@@atpr3241 fr like these people will get a fucking slideshow with good art and call it movie quality, example-bleach(for the most part) but whenever they get something that's creative and is *animated* they'll screenshot some not so anatomically correct frame and shit on it. It was the same with csm and the last ep of aot. People are still comparing this with the fan animation clip and are becoming self proclaimed animation critics, it's absurd and funny at the same time considering how immaculate this episode was.
It's really just different from their expectations for the style I guess.
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.
Not only that but when you make everything super detailed it makes it hard to keep focus on the moving parts its why demon slayer when they go super flashy on the animation its hard to make out whats even going on.
@@Blackillusion43 tbh the fight in Demonslayer redlight district has mostly repreated actions and moving VFX. it's way easier to pronounce into graphics than in this complicated fight when tactics and environment changes all the time. And the studio literally only have to work on 1 show unlike Mappa who was carrying 5
@@winstonsgmx facts
With how good this episode was I just couldn’t imagine how good it could of been if the animators had an adequate amount of time to work on it
The fight was like a freaking kizumonogatary type movie bro!! but that's an episode there's more coming.... HOLD it boys
The animation was amazing. It reminded me of Fate/strange fake: whispers of dawn, devil man crybaby and a little hint of mob psycho. All of which are considered peak animation.
the director was the same of mob psycho s2 ep 11, check it, and the team was a fucking avengers assemble :)
As an animator my eyes were popping out of their sockets and my jaw was on the floor… the amount of times I’ve already rematched and studied this fight is unreal
LET’S GO! SO GLAD YOU’RE SINGING THIS EPISODES PRAISE! God it’s like Naruto vs pain all over again with some of the awful takes coming from some people though.
Love this episode. Great video!
In my eyes and heart, Itsuki is truly The Honored One
Its a miracle that we got things like ep 13, 15 & 16 in this mess of a production.
16 is an exception, the director said he had a very good amount of time to work on it. 17 is also said to be very well done by the animators. source : twtter
@@TheSiZaGamingGood to know, Thanks for the info.
@@TheSiZaGaming He too mentioned being given a shitty schedule to work with according to his tweets. The other episodes are allocated almost no time to work on, making his situation comparatively better.
@@TheSiZaGaming any news bout ep 18-22? its got the most anticipated fight by manga readers, some say best fight of all time in jjk, kinda scared for the animators cuz the backlash will be crazy if they dont go all out like in this ep
@@randomdudelol526318-22? The way I see it that fight will end in 20 if we go by the rule. I might be wrong here
Your videos are getting better and better. Thank you very much
Absolutely crazy episode. Gives me some of my hope back... especially with the upcoming extremely important fights
Wasn't expecting such a quick upload !!! , really enjoyed this episode, the movement the expression everyone was fluid , not to mention the great job done by the compositing team , good stuff here
Thank you for making this content! I’ve been watching for a few months now and you’ve really taught me a lot
I just wanna say your content is super good. You give very insightful thoughts on what's going on with Mappa's animation which I think a lot of other voices online are lacking in.
This was really fun episode and you are very right, every frame had something to look at. It did feel like a different episode and also the voice work felt just so right.
Yeah, you are right when you said that animation comes in many forms because this ep initialy threw me way off, i thought oh noo.. we are witnessing the total collapse of animation buget in front of our eyes.. this is it.. but then i realised that this actually looks amazing and unique and i ended up loving it. Ehh you learn something new every day 🤷🏻♂️
Was waiting for you to cover this marvelous ep next weeks will be even better
Best episode in terms of animation, people who don't know sht about animation hating on it because of the loose artstyle and calling it "bad animation" boils my blood
bro there were literal still images for a few shots🤣🤣.. jujutsutard
@@jokepore1532what are you even talking about?lmao
@@jokepore1532Literally every action cut moved this episode wtf r u talking abt.
How, I need an explanation? It was like sketch paint. Season 1 had way better animation than this.
@@snowvc_ dumb take. animation literally means movement all just look at Megumi vs toji and obviously sukuna vs jogo the insane direction, how the scenes flow so well no janky movement, 2D animated background and unique style easily God tier season 1 on the other? Terrible compositing and background, and a lot of janky animation
LESS GOOOO I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO DROP THE EPISODE
This episode was so hype!
this style of animation throughout the episode really reminded me of the Shimazaki fight in mob psycho season 2 and now I adore both for how creative they got, but gor damn if i were to put one above the other for now i would put this episode above the Shimazaki fight
same director
that actually makes complete sense
People claiming how the terrible schedule has finally caught up to them, and how the animators "probably" did the best they could...is the funniest shit ever.
People said that? LMFAO
People absolutely have no idea these animators have been working so hard to put off this type of shit on the tight ass schedule they have. They dont put enough respect to their grind
People thinking animation is only about stillshots is driving me nuts
Cant believe people were hating on this episode. Half of them didnt even know the difference between animation and art style
I'm glad that as whole this episode was well loved by the fandom. Of course there were some people that were turned off by the change in artwork, but it wasn't overall hated like, for example, Naruto vs Pain back in the day. I think that shows that we have come a long way as a community and knowing what is good animation.
no, i see like 70% peope hating, and when you explain animation/fluidity to them they say "no the simplier style is because they have no time" and you explain to them that this episode has more time and incredible animators they say "stfu you are saying what you think not facts", i also want to he in the comunity fan where they appreciate that, but really i find only hate
@@francescomastroianni963 My experiences have been one guy says "the episode was trash" and 10 other people come out to tell him he's wrong, so I wouldn't say 70% people are hating, quite the opposite, 70% of people are LOVING it, the haters are the minority.
The animation is exceptional, the blending isn't - no hate to the hard working animators although I'm grateful that this series continues it's serialization and hope MAPPA will give their animators some rest.
This was a fever dream on 120 fps and I freaking loved every bit of it😂
7:40
noticed this while watching the episode aswell but it’s so cool how they show the temperature rising
ofcourse JJK rabbits know how to throw hands
Cool video thank you for the detailed observations. You said at one point that the next episode is going to be even better, where does that info come from ?
Mostly based on reputed leaks, every single leaker has shared that same opinion, which leads me to believe that there's some truth to it.
@@ProbablyPretentiouslink those leakers
@@ProbablyPretentious Animators as well Onsen and Koazuma Shinsaku talked about it, supposedly 30k drawings
Lesson of the day: make animators do what the f*ck they want
Not really, a good animation director imo is more important than the animators themselves
@@ultimatumdweebium2965 I agree but sometimes make them do shits they want like put they're own art styles would be nice while still following the direction
Literally was just checking if you posted on community tab lol
If the animators need a one month break give it to them they deserve it.
I've been waiting for this vid once the episode came out
I watched this episode as it came out, my jaw dropped at the first shot and was down the whole time, when it comes to action animation naruto is on the top of my list and even tho CSM was great it never came close but this one, this episode is one of the best I've ever seen and 8:46 this shot.... I might've creamed my pants, neither accepting nor denying.
Yeah…yeah..YEAH!!!- wait what
Well if jjk keeps this up it's gonna dethrone Naruto easily
@@JustAsh001thats a reach. Animation yes but thats whrere it stops.
@@realistchristian yeah I meant action animation
CSM S2 would be like this probably like JJK
Remember guys to thank itsuki and the jjk team for working through mappa overproduction and management in order to make this amazing ep.
Thank you itsuki and to the jjk team
The staff for episode 16 actually had time
@@marcioamaral7511 no
@@markjosephespinas4174
You didn't watch the video did you?
Easy EOTY contender and best fight of the year for me till now
Was hoping for Sato to do some fire effects like he did in aprocrypa but sou miyazaki cooked really hard instead, can't wait to see gege rxn to Birdy reference lmao
this episode gone moon and way beyond ,its CRAZY..!
I love the shadow bunnies getting in on the action (even though they get brutalize) it was funny and entertaining as hell. This whole episode was amazing. Felt like I was watching a movie.
Thanks for the vid. I’m just starting to really appreciate animation and it’s pretty cool to listen to someone who has a passion for this stuff break it down a bit.
I really like how you break down the animation, i've definitely learned some new terms thanks to your videos. Have you ever considered doing movies? id love to see you break down spider verse or puss in boots, I enjoy your breakdowns the most but I know there are other channels that probably do that.
This guy knows what he's talking about
This ep was nothing less but God-Tier beacause holy shit idk how they were able to achieve this level of sheer creativity and vibrancy to it but they did and i am so thankful for that.
Congrats on 10k…
Animation is so chaotically fluent and pop out better than how we expected it be and not cgi
i love how many backgrounds are screenshots of google earth or a collage of photos with a cellshade filter and some color correction and you don't even notice it up untill ones pays attention.
bro you are joking, the incredible thing is that it's all hand drawn.
what is this nigga yapping abt, everything is hand drawn😭
just making shit up cuz these scenes were all hand drawn
I thought it was practically impossible to top the Choso fight but somehow these madlads did it.
Gotta wait for Yuji vs mahito fight that fights needs to be the best animated one in this season
I dont agree i liked choso va yuji because of the visuals.
Choso Yuji was peak atmosphere and hella immersive. This one was just too pew pew to me. @@Noor-sl5ep
I personally like Choso vs Yuji fight more. The visuals and details over characters and background with fluid animation as the same level as this episode, it was so good.
I actually love the lack of shading in the frame-by-frame shots. It reminds me of early Naruto and One Piece
in my opinion i prefer this type of loose line work and characters without shadows
This episode gives me mob psycho vibe, it was great.
What an episode this was❤.
I can't find words to describe this episode. Such a great effort by the JJK TEAM. Love them for animating one of my all time fav arcs
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.
If MAPPA truly pulls through next episode then JJK will be best anime of the year by a long shot
This episode was truly peak 11/10 ⭐ for me
For me is 💯/10🤩🤩🤩
Great video, can you also do an animation breakdown of frieren ep 5? It looked fucking amazing
7:39 I like the fact that the temperature is low at first and then gets rapidly hotter and going from around 15 to 99
Nice job, team 🎉.
Me and my girl, sat there mesmerized the whole episode. Not a word was said until they ending credits😮💨
Peak episode
I am a fan of loose drawings they have this strange liking to it how much i seen these type of animations cause it reminded me of hell verse ichigo vs ulqiourra, yes it also didn't have any shadows. Actually maybe it does it has this light air brush shadows
I hate ya'll JJk fans 😂 Y'all were the same people sending death threats and shit talking the animators of JJK for the lack of effort that was done for some of the lesser fights but when the peak fights of this arc start to come out then ya'll switch up. Like at least with Bleach, Naruto, Dbz fans, we d ride the hell out of our series but y'all JJK fans the type to bully your own series which is stupid
They criticizing mappa
Yeh some jjk fans are horrible, and its truly sad...
Whoa, the meteor forming wasn't by keiichiro watanabe? It's insane how the animators animated it like Kiro's
Yesssssssssssss
Absolutely episode of the year. The animation exceeded my expectations. Only way it doesn’t is if next episode outhypes it which is a real possibility if you know… yeah
Please make a video about Record Ragnarok.
0:36 Interesting hearing them talk about bringing the expressions closer to the original (I'd assume closer to the manga), coz there were 1 or 2 shots of Sukuna that felt like they were ripped straight from the manga (10:08 being one of them). Easily the best episode
The animation in episode gave me Naruto/Naruto Shippuden vibes when they 'flipped the switch' on the animation, like Naruto v Sasuke or Madara v Shinobi Alliance. Im saying that as a compliment as i loved that art style.
do a top 10 best looking jjk episodes
Am i not the only one getting monogatari movie vibes from this ep
The artstyle kinda gives me the same vibe lmao
mp100 fights got some of the best animated fights i've seen. i'm so glad they decided to give this fight the same treatment
It seemed like a Sacrifice of detail for movement. Similar to Mob psycho . Idk i felt like it could’ve looked better imo
Nope can't get better than that
Its called animation.
@@thatguysho227 of course it’s animation. But is it actually good?
@@kelechin.1977Yes it does
Actual sauka animation always will look better than stiff detailed models. And that is fact
Mob Psycho was a unique and amazing looking show so that would be a compliment tho?
i love mahoraga and if it’s true next episode gets the same treatment then thank you jjk team
The style of the episode reminds me of the nine tails attack, where kurama was first summoned to the village and was destroying the building's.
The sukuna fight in particular.
I feel like they knew that if they made the episode very detailed they wouldn't have been able to animate this episode the way then wanted so they played into it, and made the episode somewhat abstract and unprocessed, playing into the absolute chaos that was gonna be in the episode.
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.
And I *F•CKING LOVED IT!*
Also there was a single second after Megumi got crazed by Playful Cloud after Toji threw it at him like a javelin as he's jumping between buildings where it's just Megumi's eye and the cut and manga readers will definitely understand the added foreshadowing.
This episode is up there with the one piece zoro vs king episode. My two favorite episodes of the year so far.
i think i found my favourite animator, if this doesnt win fight of the year at least im gonna riot
I honestly prefer the shadowless drawings, they look more 3d for some reason , and the vibe that it gives fits much better
Knowing the fight that's coming in the next episode, them stating that it'll look even better, is gonna blow up the internet like this episode did. We're in the very midst of the biggest moments in the Shibuya Incident now. The reason for the arc's name will become apparent in Sukuna's next fight.It's been incredible seeing the animation community and anime fans react to JJK. This is why we've all been hyping up this series. This is the peak of JJK for a lot of people, and the animators, directors, and storyboarders have been doing a phenomenal job, despite their working conditions.
I was smirking the whole episode
When I go to twitter I feel like it’s the pain episode all over again lol
Lol i thought you were being sarcastic initially 😂
Bruh the 🐇 Kung Fu had me dying lmao!!!
Great breakdown. Was waiting cause I didn't get the hype. You learn something new everyday I guess. I can appreciate this episode atleast. And the animators ofc(even a filthy casual like me was flabbergasted by the amount of movement)
This episode was amazing and i can say that 80% of the viewers loved it and gave a positive feedback.
the other 20% are either people that are stuck with season 1 animation glazing era and have never watched any other anime artstyle in their life other than that. or its from haters from other series that feel insecure by jjk success ( *cough* one piece and mha fans *cough* ).
Actually those s1 lovers like its art style which isn't bad but they think art style = animation and say the actual dynamic and insane animation as bad.and this eo was best animated ep of year to me at the very least even if someone don't agree with me.
@@vaidikchauhan4382yeah but, i rewatched s1 a lot of time and more i rewatch it more i don't like it, is very good talking about normal anime, but the background for me are too cartoonish and now I pay a lot of attention in backgrounds after seeing s2, also i don't like how the dialogue look very unconsistent and character are off model, but sure choreography and details were on point, but s2 for me is something different
@@francescomastroianni963 sure it might depend on every persons perspective and to me there wasn't so much bad animation in jjk s2 however this season was very inconsistent. And its peak were just another level of animation
HOLY, that one frame at 7:10 of sukuna was DEMONIC, I love it!!!
8:36 is even worse lmfao
