The 3rd season of Jujutsu Kaisen has started on Crunchyroll with the first two episodes. Fans are celebrating the anime for one thing that received a lot of criticism for the same season in One-Punch Man.
What does Jujutsu Kaisen get right? On Reddit, a user opened a thread where he confesses that he constantly thinks about how much better season 3 would look compared to season 1. Both the aesthetics and the play of light and colors are much better than before. Moreover, the character designs have changed to the advantage of the individual characters.
Fans notice that Yuji would appear more mature. Within the anime, only a few months pass, yet all his trauma would have already made him a more mature adult.
Therefore, season 3 feels more like a movie rather than a great seasonal anime. Season 2 already achieved this quality as well. No wonder, because both season 2 and season 3 have already been shown in theaters.
Moreover, there was a shift in animation in season 2. A user describes it as season 1 being more generic, while the last two seasons have more style and are more unique.
Jujutsu Kaisen impresses more with each season
Why the comparison with One-Punch Man? Only one season earlier, One-Punch Man also started its 3rd season. Since there was a longer break between season 2 and season 3, fans were particularly excited about the anime. However, the season did not have the same quality as at the start of the anime.
The animations were especially criticized here. One fan found them so bad, that he even quit the anime at this point. Fair enough: The starting situation is a little different for both anime.
- In One-Punch Man, there was a change of animation studio with season 2s: Studio Madhouse was responsible for season 1, then J. C. Staff took over the animations.
- In Jujutsu Kaisen, there was no change of animation studio. MAPPA has been responsible from the beginning. However, there was a change of director and animation style in season 2.
Whether the complete season can maintain the quality of the first episodes remains to be seen.
