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.

Looking at a basic way to review things, JJK S2 is "kind of" a masterpiece.
--------------------------------
9/10 Art (arguably 10/10)
9/10 Sound/Music (arguably 10/10)
9/10 Animation (arguably 10/10)
8/10 Characters (characters can have their moments but a bit of them are thrown to the side)
7/10 Writing/Story (arguably higher or lower)
9/10 Direction (arguably lower)
9/10 Production Value (don't got much to say about this)
9/10 Enjoyment (really enjoyable if you don't get into too much depth with things)
... ----------------------------------------------------------
Average Score - 8.625
-----------------------------
Lastly, I'll also give some bonus points since its target audience can be anyone really.
This is because some films tend to target a specific audience and that can be a bit confusing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(BTW I'm quite young so this ain't really a professional review)

Mixed Feelings

writing a battle shounen is challenging the longer the genre exists, and to stand out you have to have a unique battle system in place. unfortunately, jjk gets bogged down in being too unique, leading to a near constant narrating exposition dump. this may be easier to convey in the manga, but it draws away in the adaptation. another important shounen building block is interpersonal relations between its characters, and outside of a select few relationships in this series, jjk misses a lot of the marks when it comes to fleshing these out. in what may be an attempt to make up for this, season ... 2 is throwing near constant fight scenes at the audience, and while visually stunning, they hold little weight on the overall outcome. many of the fights in between episodes 5 and 16 are between characters that have not built any dynamic between each other and seem to only act as vehicles to show off mappa's talent as a studio. due to the oversaturation of mappa in the action market, this is something that the general public has come to expect, and doesn't help to earn them extra points.

all this to say, thunderclap turns this around. not only are the action sequences stunning, but they begin to carry the emotional weight that was absent before. the score is fantastic throughout the series as well and of course the animation is phenomenal. a lot of the drawbacks that this season has seem to stem directly from the storytelling.

if episodes 1-5 and 16-23 could stand on their own merits, this would be closer to a 9, but as a whole the high points of the season are weighed down heavily by the remaining 11 episodes.

Movies/Shows/Anime which are great are able breakdown complex concepts into simple understandable pieces for the average person.
This does the opposite. Takes something simple and makes it convoluted.

The system is a mess and requires reading Wikis or breakdowns. Too many characters, too many abilities, too many rules, too many exceptions to those rules....

The question is do you even bother to learn the names of characters/abilities?

Imo, there's only 2 ways to enjoy this. Do a PHD in cursed energy and make all the excuses you can for the half assed attempt by the author or pretend you're a baby who's capable of laughing at someone dangling ... a keychain in front of you.

I'm just sad that such good animation was wasted.
