News of MAPPA scandals related to the animators' rework is adding spice to the situation.
Perhaps the biggest criticism was the last scene of Episode 17, in which the opening song played in the background of a very emotional moment.
Shots of buildings collapsing are followed by episodes of human deaths, creating an overall picture of horror.
The last two episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen have been the most hotly debated episodes recently. The viewers are divided into two camps: some believe that these are the best episodes available, while others think that they are a failure and it would have been better if the creators had spent more time on their production. News of MAPPA scandals related to the animators' rework is adding spice to the situation. Everything from visuals to directorial decisions with music choices are criticized. A very large number of fans are unhappy with the way the popular manga is being adapted. But there are also those who believe that in some aspects the anime turned out better.
Very badly received
In Episodes 16 and 17, viewers saw a lot of fights. In the former, the most impressive was the battle between the cursed spirit Jogo and Sukuna, and in the latter, the battle between the King of Curses and Mahoraga. Fans were finally convinced of Sukuna's destructive power and believed in his desire to burn everything to the ground. Despite the fact that the episodes turned out to be very dynamic and colorful, they were heavily criticized. If after the release of Episode 16 fans were more or less restrained, then after the scandals about the studio rework, they began to look more closely at the details of the series and saw many imperfect moments.
Some noticed unpainted backdrops, others pointed out torn animation during battles. Perhaps the biggest criticism was the last scene of Episode 17, in which the opening song played in the background of a very emotional moment. Some were so unhappy with the decision that they made their own version without the music.
But how is anime better?
An unpopular opinion is that the fights in the anime turned out to be more realistic than in the manga. In particular, fans admit that only after watching the anime they were able to realize how destructive Sukuna is. Throughout the manga, we are repeatedly told about the mighty power of the cursed spirits, but only after Episode 16 we understand the firepower of Jogo, who destroys entire neighborhoods with his attacks. The same goes for Sukuna. When in manga he reveals his domain and kills everyone within a 140 meter radius, we don't really think about the scale, but when we are shown detailed footage of human deaths in Shibuya, the size of the tragedy becomes apparent.
The catastrophe is truly astonishing. Shots of buildings collapsing are followed by shots of people dying, creating an overall picture of horror. Of course, this is not a problem with manga, as it's very difficult to depict scenes of massive destruction on paper, and it is even more difficult to make them work and affect the viewer. It shouldn't be forgotten that anime and manga in general work differently. The effect in anime is enhanced by frame rate and sound design, so perhaps the animation in this particular case managed to better convey the mood of the manga.
It’s probably better.
