Jujutsu Kaisen 2nd Season

The year is 2006, and the halls of Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School echo with the endless bickering and intense debate between two inseparable best friends. Exuding unshakeable confidence, Satoru Gojou and Suguru Getou believe there is no challenge too great for young and powerful Special Grade sorcerers such as themselves. They are tasked with safely delivering a sensible girl named Riko Amanai to the entity whose existence is the very essence of the jujutsu world. However, the mission plunges them into an exhausting swirl of moral conflict that threatens to destroy the already feeble amity between sorcerers and ordinary humans.

Twelve years later, students and sorcerers are the frontline defense against the rising number of high-level curses born from humans' negative emotions. As the entities grow in power, their self-awareness and ambition increase too. The curses unite for the common goal of eradicating humans and creating a world of only cursed energy users, led by a dangerous, ancient cursed spirit. To dispose of their greatest obstacle—the strongest sorcerer, Gojou—they orchestrate an attack at Shibuya Station on Halloween. Dividing into teams, the sorcerers enter the fight prepared to risk everything to protect the innocent and their own kind.

Season 2 Redeems Everything

Season 1 fine, it feels like a saw in the way that it goes up and down and up and down, in how fun it to watch, it's just never felt entertaining in one hole it just kept going up and down.

It had cool moments and good fights, it had characters I cared. Just not fun watching it as a whole.

What season 2 decided to be a spectacle in animation and just take every cool moment in the first season and pump it up to the max. I have not seen it TV animation look this good in years.

It's hard not to ... think about the awesome fight, the memorable moments, the characters that had so cool dialogue. Just a spectacle of it all and enough surprises in the story to be entertaining.

One of the best improvement in season 2 is that Direction, the new director truly want to make it look like a film in the camera angles and shots and how it feels like a camera is placed in interesting angles.

All the shots where the camera follows the action just makes things feel more Life.

The story has enough human and heartfeld moments to not just be mindless action slack.

You know what the characters personality is just for the design because they are so amazing drawn.

Has some of the best action animation I have seen in a while. It has a story and characters that just uses cool out of every detail. It's just so fun and smooth to watch I would highly recommend it.

Mixed Feelings

The first arc was awesome, the first five episodes were great, borderline masterpiece, very emotional even. but then it all went downhill from there. I felt like watching one piece, like it was the dressrosa arc all over again.. so many pointless fights.. seems like they just wanted to show everyone fighting everyone, no plot progression, just 15 episodes of pure fighting, more and more people keep showing up to fight, and most of the people awaken new power and new final forms during fights.. is sooo tiering.. reminded me of the alabasta fight, again in one piece, where one in world second took 2 ... whole episodes to happen. or the final season of "how i met your mother" that spends who knows how many episodes in a single weekend, or even the naruto war arc that spent god knows how many episodes for a war that lasted less than 3 days. but somehow even the war felt more entertaining than those 15 episodes. because at least in naruto, the story was moving forward, they were learning stuff. but here, it was just one fight after the other, no time to cool down, no progression, no stakes, too many fake out deaths. the animation was pretty good though. but still. At least the over the board, annoying, out of place, obnoxious comedy from the first season is mostly absent, so that is also a plus.

The single best example of wasted potential. Obviously nothing is perfect, everything has flaws, but this is an oddity because all of it's issues are tied to it's creator intentionally sabotaging it.

He made a world that took off, the setting, the characters, the fights, the power system were all well received. Instead of making the most of the opportunity to explore his own fiction, tell a story,entertain the masses while raking in the money, he has openly admited he is doing everything humanly possible to ruin it, of course he doesn't use that terminology but has publicly said that he kills characters not because it ... advances the story, not because it develops other characters, not because it serves any purpose, he kills characters solely because they are popular.

There has only been one singular death that has been well handled because it served as a plot point to advance the story, but all the other crap that happens in season 2 and that will happen going forward is objective poor writing.

Make no mistake, there are plenty of anime that have main/recurring characters dying in unceremonious ways but they handle it properly becuase their deaths may not be a drawn out, dramatic 10 episode arcs, but they serve a purpose, even if that purpose is simply to showcase that nobody is safe or how great the threat is they face. JJK however does none of this, the events in season 2 do not tell us anything that has not already been shoved down our collective throat since day 1 and serves no discernable purpose whatsoever. Here is Gege's "logic":
"millions of people enjoy my creation and want to see more of it, instead of paying any attention to them, I will systematically destroy my own lore and arbitrarily kill my best characters in flat, unceremonious ways so that people on social media whose only interaction with my creation comes in the form of memes and reels will brand me as "edgy""

If you want to watch a show, written by a man deliberately and continually using objectively poor writing to waste most of the cast while intentionally missing every possible opportunity for good story telling, decent character development, taking advantage of literally limitless powers, then maybe this is worth a watch.
However, if you want cohesive or even coherent story telling that does not actively waste it's own fiction, this is not for you.
