Jujutsu Kaisen (Season 2)

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

Jujutsu Kaisen (Season 2, 2023, Japan)

Director: Shouta Goshozono

Writer: Hiroshi Seko (based on the manga by Gege Akutami)

Mini-review:

The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen may not be perfect, but it definitely helped me end this year with a bang. The best thing about this batch of episodes is pretty clear: we got some of the best fights scenes I've ever seen in a TV anime. I spent most of the time staring at the screen in awe. I know the animators went through hell while making this season, so I want to take a moment to thank them all for their incredible work (and let's hope Mappa gives them more breathing room from now on). That being said, story-wise it was a flawed season. The first arc was thoroughly outstanding, but the second one was rather messy. There was just so much stuff going on at the same time, and you could almost see the writing buckling under the weight of it all. On top of that, the constant exposition and the characters' explanations about every single thing that happened were so distracting. Sometimes it feels like the show thinks its audience is stupid. Anyway, I did like this season a lot, and it's clear that few animes do action and fights like Jujutsu Kaisen. The final twists also set up a lot of exciting possibilities, so I'll be looking forward to the next season.

From Animedia November 2023 issue interview with Hiroshi Seko (Jujutsu Kaisen Screenwriter)

[Describing Gojo]

“The strongest, but not invincible. Even though he is strong, there is a soft spot in his heart, and if you attack towards there even Gojo will be weak. This display of human weakness is very charming; and that’s why I think Gojo is so widely loved by all.”

Dandadan Anime Officially Announced

Dandadan (and just anime in general) fans rejoice, Dandadan's anime has been announced, and brings with it some impressively good news! Being animated by Science Saru, coming in 2024, the series packs a lot of great information into only just a few staff roles, and I'd love to give a background on them.

So, let's start from the top, Science Saru. Everyone and their dog has been watching the Scott Pilgrim anime, and for good reason. Science Saru boasts incredible quality alongside creativity that seems perfectly fitted to the story, and that's really their MO with their series. Heike Monogatari, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken, Inu-Ou, even Time Machine Blues. All incredibly refined and insanely creative series that you would struggle to find a single fault in.

And the same will most likely be said about Dandadan. Just take a look at the staff.

Fuuga Yamashiro as a lead director is a name that most probably will have never encountered, but will have 100% watched something from. Truthfully, this is their first time as a lead director, but they got their start with assistance direction under arguably two of the greatest to ever do it: Masaaki Yuasa and Shingo Natsume. So even if it's their first rodeo holding the reins, I have absolute confidence in their ability to deliver something quite literally out of this world.

It does also help having Hiroshi Seko on series composition. Now, I might have a bone to pick with them in regards to things like JJK season 2, butttt, considering what Mappa's been like lately and that Seko's work prior to this whole Mappa mess has been stellar, I have no complaints with their involvement.

Another similar story is musician Kensuke Ushio. Their work at Mappa has been... disappointing, to say the least thanks to series like Chainsaw Man. Thankfully, they have a very storied history with Science Saru in the role, and have more than delivered in each instance. Because of that I'm really looking forward to what they're able to cook up here.

As for the character designer and yokai designer, I don't have too much to add. Naoyuki Onda is about as steady as you could expect, doing impressive work with character designs across a wide range, going from something like Hathaway's Flash to MF Ghost and nailing both. Kameda Yoshimichi is in a somewhat similar position. I mean, they did the character designs for Mob Psycho in its entirety, as well as assisting with the S1 OPM character designs.

This is just an absolutely rock solid core of high level staff members, and coming off the heel of Science Saru's mega hit in Scott Pilgrim, it's hard to believe that they wouldn't be able to just absolutely knock it out of the park with this series. Really excited to learn more as we inevitably will at Jump Festa this year.

Attack on Titan: The Final Chapter

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

Attack on Titan: The Final Chapter (2023, Japan)

Directors: Yuichiro Hayashi & Tokio Igarashi

Writer: Hiroshi Seko (based on the manga by Hajime Isayama)

Mini-review:

God, I don't even know how to begin this review. Attack on Titan has been part of my life for so long, and I find it hard to accept that it's finally over. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this final episode. It gave us show-stopping action, it gave us drama, it gave us a powerful anti-war message. Like this show has always done. In some ways, the mixture of cynicism and hopefulness that permeates this final act reminds me of Evangelion, and I mean that in the best possible way. Tbh, now that I've finally seen it, I can't understand why people have hated it so much ever since it was first published. How else could it have ended, after all the twists and turns the story took? I think Isayama did the best he could, and MAPPA took things to the next level with some of the best animation they've ever produced. This final chapter gave me a lot of food for thought, and I'm pretty sure it will stay in my mind for a long time, just like this world and its characters.

Une date de prévue pour partir à la chasse aux fantômes et aux aliens en octobre 2024 sur ADN Anime, Crunchyroll et Netflix… Autrement dit, vu le nombre de plateforme qui va diffuser l'anime, vous n'avez pas beaucoup d'excuse de le rater… sauf si vous n'aimez pas l'histoire.

C'est donc DanDaDan de Yukinobu Tatsu qui va être sérialisé avec à la réalisation Fuga Yamashiro et le scénario est confié à Hiroshi Seko (L'attaque des Titans, Jujutsu Kaisen...). Le character design est garantie par Naoyuki Onda et la musique assurée par Kensuke Ushio (Chainsaw Man pour le plus connu)

Le tout est porté par le studio Science SARU qui a porté par exemple à l'écran Devilman crybaby.

Chaque semaine, les aficionados pourront découvrir un nouvel épisode.

Rappel de l'histoire : "Momo Ayase et Ken Takakura sont tous deux lycéens. Tandis que la première croit aux fantômes et une passionné de l'occultisme, le second est fasciné par les extraterrestres. Évidemment, chacun se moque des croyances de l'autre. Incapables de se convaincre, ils se lancent un défi pour savoir lequel des deux a raison.

Momo se retrouve dans un hôpital où des créatures de l'espace sont censées se trouver et Ken dans un tunnel hanté. Bien évidemment, tous les deux se retrouvent face à ce qu'ils niaient quelques minutes auparavant.

C'est le début d'une romance survoltée où l'occulte, le paranormal et le surnaturel se bousculent dans un chaos haletant !

Dan Da DAn est à découvrir en manga aux éditions Crunchyroll avec au moment où le billet est écrit 10 tomes en France.
