    Can’t wait to see your animation analysis for episode 1. Personally for me this opening is my favorite because of the symbolism in it and how it perfectly captures the feeling of the Hidden Inventory Arc which is my personal favorite arc in JJK with Shibuya on top for quality overall. Might be a hot take but I like this opening song the most out of all the JJK openings.

    This opening literally blew my mind for how smooth it was. Honestly, I'm fine with the "less detailed" approach, as long as it gives us extremely fluid animation. One thing I wasn't a big fan of in season 1 was both its look and some more inconsistent and stiff shots. S2 is definitely in good hands with Goshozono as the director.

    CSM ED 8 was my favorite ED and I wanted a similar style for the Shibuya arc OP but this works just as well too. Kamiya definitely should direct an episode or be a Animation Director for one episode and I know the perfect episode for him to direct in the Shibuya arc
    SPOILERS for the manga
    Yuji vs Choso. I was always envisioned the bathroom they fight in to be very blue-green/cyan and mixed with the gushing water (the water vfx and the vfx in general in this episode looks fantastic) and the intense red coming off of Choso’s blood vfx would create a gorgeous contrast for the atmosphere of the fight. Plus seeing this OP and CSM ED 8 Kamiya seems to have a good eye for action choreography so I think he could create a gorgeous breath taking intense chaotic bloody fight.

They just capture the vibes, themes, and experience of watching their shows immaculately. OnK, Tengoku Daimakyou, this and Hell's Paradise are great as well. For this new season tho, Horimiya and Undead Murder Farce have strong OPs too, and I'm just salivating waiting for the Zom 100 OP to drop.

  • @YaburuRunyaru
    @YaburuRunyaru Рік тому

    An aspect that took me a couple of times seeing it before I felt like I understood it, was why we keep seeing the trick of taking a scene and revealing it to just be a reflection in Gojo's glasses. But every time a transition like that happens, it's always when Geto's in frame. That's when I began to think that it's not just a "repetitive trick," but is instead telling us that "Gojo in constantly watching Geto."

    and after that we will back to the timeline of season 1. and i expect a new opening showing the main cast like last season as usual and song theme has to be sticking to season 2 topic and situation as well.

      No, it's just the shading style used by Fujimoto that's being replicated by other animators.
      Similar to how Kenichi Kutsuna animated lightning and then pretty much all the animators including big names started animating lightning the same way, and it got named "Kutsuna lightning".

But I think the song itself and just the overall creativeness of the OP makes it one of my favorites, ever.
