Past Seasons

I completed Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 last week, and I’m glad that it’s as good as season 1.

As with similar shows, JJK’s story got darker / more brutal in later seasons; I actually like this more. The twists are also really something.

I still have complaints about the show though:

• the second half of the season - especially episodes 13 to 15 - involves more exposition, which is really just poor scriptwriting / directing / whatever you call it. “Show, don’t tell”.
• no more Juju Stroll. These small segments at the end of each episode in season 1 are so cute and funny. I understand that they don’t fit the darker and more serious mood of season 2, but I still miss them.
• it became too predictable. I know that the writer is capable of introducing plot twists; I wish that they could do so more liberally. Otherwise,

JJK season 2 spoiler

whenever a character has a long flashback, it became way too obvious that they are about to die. Or if a character doesn’t get killed immediately - despite becoming severely weakened / disarmed - after a drawn-out fight, I knew that they are going to survive.

It is still deserving of a 9 / 10 like before, so it is entering my Peak Shounen list.
