The fight scenes are kinda lackluster

I ain't a jujutsu fan infact I think it's overrated but..... the animation did get better and it just adjusts to the manga art better( which was never spectacular tbh) overall after gojo and toji. I wouldn't worry bout much cuz shibuya is pretty boring apart for sukuna coming out. so brace urself

I am very sad to say this, but OP is correct. The fight scene was very underwhelming.
If you don't feel so, then watch the fight scene during this episode again and go back to any of S1 fights and you will see the difference clearly. The animation is better compared to season 1 but today's fight scene disappointed me very much. I didn't liked choreography of the fight. Jujutsu was my no. 1 shonen anime and in the top 5 of my all time fav anime after season 1. I don't know much about animation and cinematography but jujutsu has always been very well animated and the background shots are also very aesthetic.
Season 1 ticked all boxes for everything I ever wanted in a modern battle shonen and Season 2 did it too. The fights in previous S2 episodes were very good but why does this episode's fight have to look like this.
I am very sad 😿

Even though I'm a huge jjk fan, I gotta admit, the fight scene in this episode was a bit underwhelming for me. Not gonna get into all the technical stuff, but I feel like season 1 did something better that made every fight scene stand out. Gojo vs Sukuna from s2 ep2 is still etched in my memory because it was so awesome! On the other hand, Gojo vs Toji felt like they were trying too hard to achieve something yet failed to do so.

Maybe go look up some video about jjk s1 compositing and get back to me. Probably pretentious has a good video about the absolute disaster that was the jjk compositing.

Why do I have to watch someone else explain to me why something is technically bad when I clearly felt that the animation in season 1 was much more impactful? Why didn't Toji's hits feel as impactful as Itadori's kicks and punches in the last episode of season 1, even though the stakes were much higher in the story? I appreciate the animation in season 2, episode 2, but this particular episode was clearly lacking something, whether it's in animation, music, or something else, it just failed to create that impact

“I don’t know much about animation” then don’t talk like you do my boy 💀💀💀
Season 1 is quite literally one of the worst animes aesthetically of all time. People complain about GoHands but dear god jjk s1 was an actual nightmare. Season 1 was very well animated and in the visual department that’s about all it had going for it. 2D animation show aside it’s easily the worst looking modern battle shounen. That is until s2, the director now has an actual vision and knows how to get all the departments involved to work in cohesion. Backgrounds don’t look like a scrolling texture pack and the filters don’t look like some tik tok effect. Not to mention there is no longer the ugly green and purple filter over all of it which is very nice. Long story short, you don’t know animation as you said, so we all ask that you don’t comment on things like you know what your talking about

"Probably pretentious" You mean that Indian YouTuber? He is like the human encapsulation of every MAPPA sakugatard. Shitty opinions everywhere. Brainwashed by Twitter and reddit incels, sakugatards and people who think they know everything about animation. Funny, his first video was after MAPPA started animating AOT. Kids like him started popping up like rats after MAPPA AOT. His channel name fits him perfectly. A pretentious kid who spreads dogshit opinions with his videos.

say what you want but he’s definitely not a mappatard cuz as you can see quite clearly he makes a video about how dogshit jjk s1 looked. Praises mappa when they deserve it and disses them when they suck. I agree people like them can be quite nit picky sometimes but in the grand scale of booru bros he’s not to bad. Plus it’s quite educational if you actually give a shit to know what your talking about

He claims that JJK Season 1 looks like dogshit, but then goes on to praise MAPPA AOT. MAPPA AOT is total garbage from Tomohiro Kishi's shitty character designs, CGI junk, shitty background compositions and color design. Tomohiro Kishi's character designs are so mismatched that they make every character look generic, whereas Kyoji Asano made them all look unique at Wit Studio.
This YouTuber prefers MAPPA AOT because that's what Twitter, reddit and hivemind think. I never saw him when Wit Studio animated AOT or any MAPPA show before AOT because clowns like him never existed before MAPPA AOT. He's just a parrot that reflects what the hivemind thinks, that's all. And because of his garbage videos, people's opinions change. Now suddenly the JJK Season 1 composition is bad? Bad?! In season 1, the backgrounds and composition were soft to enhance the look of the characters. The backgrounds in season 2 and JJK 0 are more detailed mainly due to change in art director. It looked good in the JJK 0 movie because the character design and color design in the movie were still detailed like in season 1, but it doesn't look so good in season 2 because the character designs are too simple now, so it creates a mismatch, but you and this clown YouTuber can't understand that and won't because the hivemind doesn't think that. If the hivemind starts thinking that, then he'll make a new video praising JJK Season 1's composition.

Also, Kishi's designs are damn near identical to Isayama's
