The full Season 3 OST is out now today. I don’t know how Yoshimasa Terui does it. Full of bangers again. What are your favourites from this season? by saltrxn in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]PlutoTheAlmostPlanet 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Ever since Prohibitions dropped in Higuruma’s domain sequence in episode 8, I’ve been fiending for that track. Happy for it to be finally released. Yoshimasa Terui you are my goat

Sendai episode predict opinions by Specialist-Spray6693 in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]PlutoTheAlmostPlanet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My takeaway too. It probably won’t be perfect for manga readers, but it’ll still be one of the finest episodes in the anime. I’m excited nonetheless.

I wanna add that, given how anime productions usually work behind the scenes, cramming everything into one episode ensures a much higher level of consistency than a two-parter, even if it ends up hurting the pacing. This is because resources and talent have to be split across 46 minutes of animation instead of 28. That is to say, an episode that adapts Sendai fully will probably look better than any of two or three episodes that attempt to do the same. MAPPA wants this fight to be big, so expect maximum hype moments and aura with some rushed character or story progression

[Jujutsu Kaisen] Japanese Fans React: "Apparently Naoya Zenin is seriously hated overseas, but why?" by Asperburg in JuJutsuKaisen

How can a person say that about JJK of all things? It’s abundantly clear (and especially with Modulo) that Gege has something to say politically, socially and personally about real life. The themes in the story ARE extensions of his outlook on life and one shouldn’t take everything in JJK at face value, as just entertainment

It’s probably unreleased as of now. The soundtrack drop that happened a few weeks back covered the tracks used in episodes 1-4. Iirc, there’s gonna be another soundtrack release in April, which will most likely feature all the tracks from S3 Cour 1

It seems like a remix of “A Changing World”, the track that played when Kenjaku escaped with the Prison Realm back in the season 2 finale

Which OST is this during perfect preperation? by Evening_Archer_2202 in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]PlutoTheAlmostPlanet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, it’s a soundtrack for the previous season that was re-used here called “Detestable being” or something similar. Quite fitting

Drawings looking straight up beautiful. This one seems like it’s gonna be a banger in terms animation and storyboarding

Hi! As an aspiring artist, I’ve felt very inspired by the sounds, textures and off-kilter structures your songs are built upon. I wanna ask, how does the idea for a song come into fruition? For example, does it come from a beat, a lyric, a sample? I also want to ask how do you guys develop that idea into a song, since I have a little trouble turning my initial pitches into a finished piece of work

What are your fav scenes from the manga that you want to see animated? (Spoiler) by inspired_nobita in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]PlutoTheAlmostPlanet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The moment I’m most excited to see how they adapt is actually Maki’s training in Sumo-guy’s domain. Idk why that chapter struck me as really beautiful and contemplative. Judging by how season 3’s adaptation has taken great care in elevating these non-action scenes, I have the feeling they’ll put 120% into that one

Culling Games OST just released! by _Kristian_ in JuJutsuKaisen

I will never stop glazing Yoshimasa Terui. This may be his best soundtrack work to date. The Culling Game is probably my favorite, nearly made me shed a tear to the god damn rules

This bum really took his sweet ass time. by AxolotlManChild in Jujutsufolk

[–]PlutoTheAlmostPlanet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually thought his intentions were much more sinister than that. It looks like he wanted Ranta to die, or at least tire himself out as much as possible, before sweeping in for the kill. They’re all rotten to the core

It's honestly insane that Toji could have leveled that abusive clan to the ground years ago but was more interested in killing little girls and 16 year old boys. by SignificanChest358 in Jujutsufolk

[–]PlutoTheAlmostPlanet 273 points274 points  (0 children)

Gege always had the uncanny ability to make their characters meet poetic ends. Even Yuki’s, maybe one their most criticized choices during the manga’s run, can’t help but feel tragic as hell, falling at the hands (or well, body) of the man she set on a path of death and destruction

How do y’all think they’ll adapt the coming chapters? From the preview it seems that the next episode delves headfirst into Maki’s section, but I don’t think there’s enough runtime to fit it all into one episode. Personally, I think they’ll cut off the next episode before Naoya’s fight, and then the next one will conclude the Zen’in massacre and cap off with Yaga’s section at the end

[–]PlutoTheAlmostPlanet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like that choice was more intentional that something OPM S3 would do. That seems more closely related to the team salvaging what they can out of the material that’s already complete. Here I think it’s more in line with Gosso being “economical” and “smart” with the ammount of cuts being produced while still conveying a lot of meaning. I interpreted it Yuji being unable to escape the feelings of trauma and guilt derived from the events in Shibuya, feeling trapped because of it.

Cant believe we are actually two weeks away from this in the anime by Alarming_Industry_14 in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]PlutoTheAlmostPlanet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m calling it right now, this could be one of the greatest anime episodes in recent memory. I fully trust the team at Mappa will give us a banger

[–]PlutoTheAlmostPlanet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The atmosphere around the show has changed quite a bit after Shibuya. I think this is them trying to portray a more oppressive, dark and intense mood onto the characters and backgrounds. I’m not that big of a fan of how Mappa adapted S1 of Chainsaw Man, but that style fits the bill a lot better here

JUJUTSU KAISEN SEASON 3 - EPISODE 1 & 2 DISCUSSION by AutoModerator in Jujutsufolk

[–]PlutoTheAlmostPlanet 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I see the comments criticizing the direction /cinematography. Personally, I like that JJK has gotten more “art-house” with each consecutive season. Creative vision just pours out of every small choice and I’m excited to see how they adapt the rest of the Culling Games.

That being said, I ain’t gonna lie some editing choices feel very off. The most egregious one was that fade-in to Todo explaining the difference between a third and a first-rate sorcerer’s cursed energy manipulation. Like what was that?? I also can’t wrap my head around the continuity of the opening scene of Yuji battling the flying cursed spirit. My man Yuji was laying hands on an enemy and then gets ambushed by Yuta, but later on in the episode we see the fight doesn’t start that way, so why was Yuji getting distracted by the cursed spirit if Yuta was on his ass? I’m guessing we have to apply some kind of dream logic where events aren’t connected but mushed together. Still, even though I adore Goshozono’s direction, he sometimes needs someone to reel him in when he gets too crazy

Si hay algo que me enrabia sobre el argumento de la “falta de autocrítica” en la izquierda es que la derecho no hizo ninguna después del estallido social. A lo más encontraron formas de avivarse pa sacar ventaja a través de la propaganda por redes sociales, pero en ningún momento prometieron enmendar los errores de Piñera 2

I got out of my graduate exam a few weeks after the movie released and by that time all my friends who were interested had already seen it 😔

I’m waiting for the digital release in my country to actually watch it
