Siempre estarás en nuestros corazones nanami🥲 🫡 por cierto pensaba que iba a decaer un poco pero no siguió estando increíble aunque probable por falta de tiempo hayan quitado algunas escenas de pelea pero por lo demás estuvo bien

The production is so dead. I can barely understand the fights with this weird ass storyboard, same as last episode.

Loved the music in the first half, really elevated the whole Nanami sequence even if the animation was limited. Mahito really gets on your nerves, in a good way. Very clear at this point the production scheudle is hell for the animators, as the second half especially looked rough with the backgrounds and compositing. They’ll push to the finish line for sure, but it probably won’t be pretty. Should be at least somewhat exciting though.

@Phantom_373 The delay is not due to Mappa, it is more due to Toho. You say there are cracks everywhere, but only the running animation seemed bad, other than that, I thought the animations were fine.

The amount of cope in one comment from MAPPA defenders:




Like stop it, we know it’s because of CEO MAPPA…
@Confused_100 "Mappa defenders" lol is your mind working that much? I'm saying it's not up to mappa to postpone the anime. It shouldn't be hard to understand this.

@KingSlowDown It looked pretty decent, certainly not on the level of the previous 2 episodes (which would obviously be difficult to follow up) but not as bad as Yuji's throwaway fight against the Grasshopper.

That battle of Itadori vs the grasshopper was a lot better animated than the Nanami, Maki and Naobito vs Dagon fight lol.

The Nanami goodbye was truly the best of this episode, that Mahito vs Itadori fight was good but nothing remarkable, although it was a good episode and a great adaptation imo.

It actually is up to MAPPA and TOHO not just TOHO… You are putting blame on one because you want to defend MAPPA which is obvious to see. Stop defending bad people and actually defend the employees

The Nanami scene was beautiful, but very sad.

Depending on things go on this might definitely become a devil for Itadori, at least he snapped out of it relatively quickly.

pain again. that nanami scene was absolutely beautiful and he's my second favourite jjk character. the ost and color pallete of the beach scene looked amazing. thank you, mappa and thank you, tsuda kenjiro. the guy was planning his vacation from always working man that's so rough.
yuji vs mahito was pretty sick, that shout response was jokes but this mf is tryna destroy yuji mentally first. mahito was very goofy and jogo really let out his buggy scream this ep lol. mappa didn't cook the whole ep though, felt like there were a few frames missing here and there but even at it's worst, still way better than the manga.

Personally I feel like the storyboard was very off . Can someone explain me how itadori was pushed into the elevator ? There clearly was a bump behind him … . Also you don’t see how he got out. There was no way to escape mahitos attack and in the next frame itadori somehow teleported standing and waiting for Mahito to come out

Many things I had to rewatch because it felt like a lot of things happened off screen or are entirely cut mid fight

Was dreading this episode. Very emotional end to Nanami, one of the most loved characters. Done very well imo. Man Manitoba is such a bastard. You really don’t get such villains that are so blatantly evil and just revel in it. And he’s so happy and child-like while doing it making it much more frightening. One of the best villains JJK has to offer. Next episode is probably also going to be pain but now for Mahito vs Yuji

RIP Nanami, I knew you were going to die the moment you started walking on the beach.

The episode is pretty good, the animation while not impressive, it's above the standard so I'm not complaining there either, however, I do have a complaint about the episode, it's the OST, seriously, the OST is just not good, it's mid as hell, when Itadori was fighting the patch face guy the OST was really crappy, it did get a bit better later but for the most part, the OST was crap.

JJK S2 is a great anime for sure, but the OST isn't, it's crap and mid as hell.

I thought episode 18 and onward was going to be delayed indefinitely, or at the very least, would be released with very subpar animation. But it's here, and looks as good as it's always been.

Really liked what they did with Nanami's last moments in the first half. That back and forth between him being happy in Malaysia and the scenes with him fighting for his life + that piano piece was excellent. Will definitely miss him and his delicious voice.

And though bland asf, I gotta admit Mahito does the villain job quite well. Mf sure knows how to get on someone's nerves.

Another shit looking episode. basically a slideshow
@WickedFM how? It was gorgeously animated and there was constant movement and combat, Nanami on the brink of exhaustion while slashing away at disfigured humans with the amazing Malaysia scenes with the water reacting perfectly to his feet as it wraps around and splashes against it; 15 minutes of straight Mahito vs Yuji after, what are you talking about. The previous episode sucked, it was pre-vis and 30% complete, this one gave me chills, really great visuals but not as good as Choso vs Yuji however the fight had a lot more impact and fast pace.

I’m thankful we have another well made episode, there’s no telling what blood sweat and tears it was built on but I thank the animators for making it happen. That being said, this season just doesn’t stop going does it lol, right away we’re hit with another emotional moment with the death of Nanami, a damn shame to see him go but he really killed every moment he was in this show, I can see why he’s a fan favorite and probably one of my favorites as well. And now it’s time for another battle against this chucklefuck Mahito, I can’t lie I did laugh when he made the “blehh” sound when he came out of the monster’s mouth but I still hate this guy lol.

And to make me hate him even more, they even showed that “comedic” scene of that goofy ass squid guy drinking who knows how many people all at once as Mahito claps along, I know it’s meant to be funny but it just makes me hate these guys even more lol, I really want them all to meet their ends this season, and thankfully that’s already the case for some of them. And the fight between Mahito and Yuji has once again been a wild one, so many crazy attacks and moments and it all looked very good. And at the end we see that Mahito’s copy took on Nobara, I really hope she gets her chance to shine again because I do miss that moment from Season 1 where she popped off.

A lot better than the last episode even if there were fewer frames.

If the last episode was only 30% complete, this one feels more like 70%-80% complete

I wasn't a fan of Mahito before, I don't really like the "childish yet monstrous" trope, I find it obnoxious.
But when the show's worst villain killed the show's best character, I was surprised at the amount of rage I felt, I haven't hated a character that much in a while xD Mahito, you were a waste of script before, but now YOU HAVE TO BE TAKEN OUT

Also, I don't read the manga so don't spoil me, but they better not turn Nobara into a damsel in distress next episode, I'm already annoyed at how little she got to do so far

During the Hidden Inventory Arc, I was a firm proponent in saying that the best animation was yet to come… now, I am thoroughly disappointed as we’re nearing the end of the season.

No doubt MAPPA animators are being overworked. The fact that Nanami’s final moments and the beginning of the Yuji vs. Mahito’s fight struggle to match the tone set in the manga speaks volumes to the poor management and treatment of MAPPA’s animators. The scene direction is tough to watch too, especially when comparing the manga panels against the anime (I will say that the Nanami fight scene shifting between reality and Malaysia was nicely done. Credit where credit is due).

I’d be lying if I said I wish another animation studio with a better work environment could take over for MAPPA. JJK and the animators deserve better.

The detail in this episode is not as fleshed out (pun intended). The fights got a little off-screen sometimes and I couldn't really tell what was happening. The faces were not as animated with speech and emotion. The mouth was not even animated for half of the speech!

You could tell the animators were taking a breather in this episode which can really take you out of the story when you have a difference in quality that jarring. I'd rather have consistent good quality than drastic very good and mediocre episodes throughout the season.

Imagine full sprinting and tiring out in a long-distance race. You won't be able to keep up with someone going at a good consistent pace.

I really wish they show more impact in future emotional scenes through the animation design because Itadori reacting to his mentor's death with a static still frame and his slide show scream was not a highlight. Infact, him running toward Mahito for 10 seconds was more of a low light.

Speaking of pacing, you can tell some shots are dragged which once again tells me that the animators were stalling for time and trying to take a breather. Overall, this episode had a lot of potential but too bad it's already published. Maybe Blu-Ray will see the masterpiece this episode could have been.

I like Nanami, but his death didn't really do much for me, maybe because it's the lack of screen time or that JJK isn't really an overly emotional series.

That fight was kind of whack though, were they paying homage to One Piece with all that padding? Plus the constant slo-mo is lame.
