I guess it's time to speculate who will be making the anime for Jujutsu Kaisen and Act-Age. Is it still too early?

Edit:

Spoiler

And RxL

Obviously, its a good studio and a good staff. Jujutsu's anime is in good hands.

 

[cody]

who do you think is a good viable studio for Jujutsu?

Bones is always a great choice for action series. Will Jujutsu be lucky enough to get them, I don't know.

Jujutsu will be Pierrot with Abe as director and Act Age will be SHAFT with Okada as director.

Hopefully BC and Boruto (and Bleach) keeps Pierrot busy for a long time. I'd like some Shaft style Act-Age.

Production I.G is going to make the Robot Laserbeam ani-

;-;

I think its A-1 Pictures.

Jujutsu = White Fox or A-1 Pictures
Act-Age = Shaft or J.C Staff

If Aniplex produces any of the two we'll probably see some A-1. JC Staff seems like a decent choice for Act-Age. White Fox seems to be busy with light novels.

Jujutsu will be Bones. MHA isn't going to have enough material for long. Act-age if it survives long enough will need a team that could animate all kinds of small subtle movements.

Bones would be really great for Jujutsu. Act-Age is definitely going to survive long enough to get an anime.

For Act-Age I hope it's Shaft, if they can do what they did for 3-Gatsu no Lion it'd be a certain hit.

 

[FengarGB]

Shaft is the perfect studio for Act-Age, and i think A-1 is a good fit for jujutsu

 

[101nemesis]

I find this reply so damn lame. Goodness.
People really need to stop posting random twitter accounts and youtubers without any credible evidence. It's no different from us guessing over here, unless said account actually proves they have a confirmed inside source. All you're doing is giving them unnecessary views and hits.

Personally think Abe would be a great director for Jujutsu, Pierrot, not so much.

 

[SharkBait]

would BONES really hold two WSJ series at once. I cant imagine they wouldnt use any spare talent to do Vigilantes instead of pick new anime WSJ series along with heroaca, assuming it will get an s5 and s6.

A-1 are really bad at handling action shounen adaptations, I wouldn't trust them if they had Jujutsu.

 

[Tamil]

Yeah Yonkou has evidence just like he had for OPM airing in 2020. I believe he has his sources to some of the stuff but most of the time he's a fucking liar.

People sure love to harp on the fact he messed up on the OPM air date. I dont see it as a big deal, it doesn't take away that he's still reliable. How is he a liar most of the time? Lol...

 

[tirakai]

A-1's problem is that they're boring. Their stuff tends to all be decent enough but it's like there's never any style to their works.

Otherwise I feel like Jujutsu is still a little early to guess a great studio for, since it's still finding its feet. Seems like something Pierrot might unfortunately go for though since it feels kind of Bleach-y to me and has a lot of filler potential with the shamans fighting random curses.

i never watched the Ao no exorcist adaptation, on the other hand i liked Magi and Nanatsu. If i can make a dream choice then it would be bones too.

 

[tirakai]

Act age I only just started catching up on today (I'm currently on ch 11) but it would really need a studio who's good at facial expressions to shine. Not sure who's best for that though.

That's not the only thing he's gotten wrong though its just like unlike the rest he made a big deal about its reveal and it blew up enough that he couldn't save face once it was shown to be wrong. Its best to slways remember that Yonkou is not a source to begin with so its less on him and more on where he got his info from. You're right in that it doesn't really matter but people shouldn't go by everything he says since he mainly does it for attention like if Bleach gets an anime announcement people will go back to a random tweet he said months ago as confirmation when it was clearly nothing.

The thing that annoys me the most about their shonen adaptations is how they unnecessarily cut out content, do really dumb things with anime original content and most of the time their pacing choices are bad. Also their anime tend to be really inconsistent visually and that really ruins the experience.

A-1's problem is that they're boring. Their stuff tends to all be decent enough but it's like there's never any style to their works.

It would be very unfortunate if Pierrot ruined Jujutsu. We'll see if Shueisha make a wiser choice than that.

It needs an anime with great directing.

It's not that I don't think they won't do another WSJ anime at the same time as MHA, it's more just that Bones seems to have way too much on their plate at the moment for them to be doing Dr. Stone as well.

 

[cody]

There's no way Bones are doing Dr. Stone. But they could make the anime for Jujutsu.

 

[ChocoBar9]

Yeah Bones has way too much stacked on this year to pick up another WSJ title let alone one that'll air while they're still working on MHA. 2019 just seems to be a busy year in general.

I'm so happy Bones got the MHA anime. Imagine what horrible things Toei or Pierrot would've done to it if they had it.

Now to see how ufotable handles Kimetsu. We Never Learn seems dead in the water already just from watching that PV and TPN can go eitherway in my opinion.

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Or worse, Gonzo would of butchered the poor thing just like with Hinomaru

 

[SharkBait]

Well the show could have used filler arcs to round out the cast, most people dont even know who most of class A is and class B are basically jokes among the greater fandom at large.
