Happy Jump Day, everyone! We got anime adaptations of Haikyuu, Jujutsu, and Dragon Quest today!

Finally, I’ll get to see what Jujutsu Kaisen’s all about.

The visuals were amazing. The song was bland.
Really needed more kick to the song.

I'll fully recommend reading the manga. I know anime is easier to follow but the style and art in the manga is also pretty great that it deserves to be read.

Kind of agree with you on the song tbh. I'm a big fan of Eve's work but this was a B effort of his at best, was hoping for more from him on such a major project.

Its not just the song but very boring composition overall. We are just shown characters and then again shown them but with fighting pose. Zero for creativity

Jujutsu will get a huge boost similar to KNY, you heard it here first.

This is pretty great to hear. Would have never thought this was a request from Akutami themselves.

(Yamashita's name is omitted from their message from this tweet)

Ok. Now I want Horikoshi to request Yamashita to direct the opening for S5’s 2nd Cour.

That JJK OP was incredible. The song is meh but I think it'll grow on us. Panda running was a hilarious cut

Amazing OP for Jujutsu.
Absolutely gorgeous. The compositing is stunning, it fits Jujutsu Kaisen's world so damn well. The action sequences that were shown were gret as well. And to be honest I actually like the song, it's catchy enough for me and that's all I need. (But I still hope for TK to sing an OP for Jujutsu).

And the new Haikyuu opening.


Maybe it's just me, but I feel this has been the weakest Haikyuu opening of all
Yeah, the song isn't the best Haikyuu!! has had, but that once cut from Mukouda is amazing.

I'm glad Akutami requested him, Yamashita is a genius and a master of his craft. Sad that this means that, aside from Hiramatsu and Fujimoto, we won't see him or the other key animators make cuts for Jujutsu Kaisen, I really wanted to see Bahi JD in the show, he makes some amazing action scenes. But it's also amusing and funny to see so many people praise MAPPA for the OP when this was made mostly by freelancers with no ties to the studio lol.

Love that we're getting Burn the Witch, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Haikyuu episodes in such quick succession, feels like a WSJ overload in the best way possible.

Burn the Witch did a good job of adapting Season 1 of the manga by expanding on the world to make it feel more lived-in. Just wish they referenced the oneshot a little more, especially Balgo's backstory. Otherwise the animation was great and had a real sense of style that matches Kubo's art. A personal favourite moment has to be when the Scottish flag showed up while flying through the streets of Reverse London, even if it was a blink-and-you-miss-it moment.

Looking forward to seeing how the JJK anime can improve on the manga's rushed pacing in the beginning and its occasionally messy (though still very impressive) art to make something more polished. I already know this season of Haikyuu!! is gonna be great so I'm not worried.

Congratulations, Jujutsu fans, you're on your way to hitting the mainstream and following the path that HeroAca and Demon Slayer took to anime stardom. Well on your way to help represent anime in the 2020s.

I'm happy for Jujutsu. One of the best right now in WSJ and definitely deserves all the attention it can get.

But I can't help but be cautious about the fandom wars and toxicity that comes with the mainstream popularity.

Goodness has there been another show that had trended in the US off of the very first episode.

Let's discuss for 1000 pages about how sick that Jujutsu Kaisen opening was

Not a big fan of JJK's opening to be honest. To me it looked like a trailer for the season: very good collection of visuals rather than an opening sequence.
Unfortunately, a lot depends on the rhythm of the song which I do not think suits the type of atmosphere. It would be better as an ending.

Not that I remember but it's a lot easier to trend on twitter in 2020 than it was few years ago. So can't really compare.

The dumbest of things can trend on twitter these days.
