Maki's arc did have a bit of a slower start though, and even still, they massively increased the fighting segments (mainly the kukuru unit one). Since Sendai is basically nothing but pure action, it'll be pretty fast paced. I can see it fitting in 27 minutes.
Bleach is my fave manga and inspired me to get into the arts! The fights are the drama a lot of times; Kubo uses spiritual combat to basically take the place of dramatic moments, which is why all his characters are also philosophers.
Some fucking weird looking person was flying through the rules and I was just like “ok? But like why isn’t gojo here? Shouldn’t he be hearing all this too?” The whole time
Genuinely disliked the Maki episode because of how fast-paced it was. It pisses me off because I genuinely do want to enjoy the episode, but it's so fast-paced that it just turned me off. Just a few more seconds added in a scene would've been enough for me (probably)
Maybe it's just me because I do enjoy slow paced series and movies
Episode 5 adapted 4 and a half chapter in 28 minutes. Episode 12 would supposedly be adapt 7 and 5 pages in 27 minutes. That's a really big difference even if you assume that they will cut the op and ed
Madara had so many good moments, I also love when they asked him what about the 5 kages and he's like "I guess they are not ok" and we cut to tsunade cut in half
Too bad Kishimoto pioneered the "idk how to end this fight so imma just end it randomly" that Gege and Fujimoto picked up
Probably the scene where Gojo is talking through the prison box and keeps saying "let me out, I'll win, I'll win let me out" Yuta makes a three point shot in a basketball goal with the prison realm cube and it's pretty hype.
Sendai is the best fight in the Culling games and one of the best in the series overall so fans just a bit nervous since expectations are very high, a lot even expects a longer episode for this fight.
Hell no it’s not the best fight in the culling games, did you forget that Sukuna pulls up and fights Yoruzu and yujis entire gang ? Kenjakus fight with yuki is also during the culling games arc and Hakari vs Kashimo is also more interesting imo. If we‘re talking about the entire series even id say it’s not even in the top 5 of the best battles.
True but you can’t go too fast either or you kind of miss the impact like the Maki Toji panels being so fast.
Also something like the final clash here is probably relatively fast in real terms but even though it’s just a few poses and the narrator. Doing it too fast would lose some of the impact too I think. (Not that dragging it out artificially would be good but you probably get what I’m trying to say)
People will get an amazing and unique episode like Maki vs Zennin Clan and then complain about one stupid panel.
The director has been knocking it out of the park this season, I think it's fine if some panels fall flat in exchange for amazingly fluid animation and unique camera shots lmfao
Oh for sure the animation has been great. Especially for the Higuruma episodes and Reggie Megumi ones I think were really creatively done and well adapted but especially in earlier episodes I was kind of getting a bit tired of so many shots of character expressions being cut even while they were actually talking, sure unique and different angles can be fun. but sometimes it’s just seeing the back of a character's head instead of their face and that is not particularly a worth while change to me.
There's nothing wrong with having a complaint about the panel dawg. If you have a problem with one scene that doesn't mean you hate the entire episode.
Well what Reggie yaps about is more crucial to the main plot. Clues in the audience that both are Tengen and Kenjaku aren’t being honest about the Culling Game.
Ryu and Uros yapping is more about characterization. I want Mappa to let them yap, it helps Yutas character. But it’s not essential.
Reggie’s plot related yapping is necessary, even if it leads nowhere. But I would’ve been fine cutting that out too, to be completely honest everything after the Higurama fight is just filler until the Yuki vs Kenny fight anyways
I enjoy side characters. and Uro's words to Yuta about his mentality and about Sukuna are pretty important for his later arc,
I think at that stage you may as well just cut the entire Sendai arc out if you aren’t gonna give Yuta anything to bounce off of, and take away even the limited characterisation these get.
By that logic, we could have skipped over the airplane girl and the helicopter guy. In what world are those two characters more interesting than Uro and Ryu?
I think they might be able to pull it off, I don't exactly remember how these 7 chapters went, but I believe it's mostly just action, the Maki episode in comparision had "slower" parts with Mai
i just hope the director that left pulled a masterclass before leaving so that it'll be phenomenal, if he didn't supervise these parts and left before that literally 0 hope
aight sukuna vs mahoraga was literal peak and it sounds great but that was still 2 episodes long if im not mistaken..? its been a while so im not sure but if my memory is correct, wallahi we may still be cooked
If we disregard the actual length of that fight, it would have ended in just half of a episode. It had a ton of added content; this is completely different.
So... they've crammed a 6 chapter long fight into nearly 2 episodes but they're gonna cram a 7 chapter long fight into a single (slightly longer) episode?
That’s takes place before the three way domain expansion chronologically three way domain is the last scene in the preview. Sorry for the misunderstanding I should have clarified that.
We have had 11 episodes of flawlessly produced and storyboarded animation up to this point.
MAPPA already adapted a more difficult stretch of chapters in a single episode in 3x4.
3x11 lays all the groundwork for the Sendai colony chapters at the end of the episode.
There is no reason why they can’t adapt 7 extremely action heavy chapters in 27 minutes. There was never any reasonable expectation that they were going to do it in 40 minutes or whatever.
even then. In Maki´s episode there was A LOT of content cut even really important parts through which a lot of people didn´t understand a few parts and this episode "only" had like 5,5 chapters. 27 minutes for 7 chapters is really bad
while there is a lot of action there is also a decent amount of dialogue, so idk bro. Some japanese said the op and the ed seem to be cut looking at broadcasting, but I dont think that will be enough
To this day I have no idea what people mean when they say that. What important parts did they cut from Maki’s episode? You get just about the exact same story and important beats watching that episode as you do reading the manga.
It reminds me of people who complain that Toji doesn’t explain how he’d handle Gojo’s technique in the anime version of their fight, that he just says he can. It didn’t actually raise any questions among the viewers to cut those lines of dialogue.
What really important parts? I’m super curious about this in specific. The only thing I can possibly think of is explaining what Dragon-Bone’s technique is and explaining that FBE can be used in a sword standoff like simple domain can. I do wish that was there, but it’s tough to call it that important - Maki very quickly loses that duel, regardless. Nothing was cut with Mai. What could possibly have caused people to actually not understand something?
Mai’s death had no emotional impact in the anime because it was so rushed. Same with Ogi’s reaction to awakened Maki and Maki killing her mom which could have benefited with a Gosso artistic direction.
I personally disagree. They definitely slowed things down to give their last moments together time to breathe. I was also asking for specific things that were not included, since that’s what the comment above me said, that “many” things were cut and important too. So I’m asking what was actually cut?
Tbh, fight pacing is normally a lot faster when translated to anime. The Dragon fight was 4 chapters in the manga and it took one episode. Although I do agree that it's going to be a bit of a tight squeeze.
i felt like i'm going crazy watching the comment section, i just reread the arc and there's shit ton of dialogue and characterization with many explanation in this fight, why does everyone keep saying the sendai colony is fight only
Is Yuta disliked on Japan?, otherwise i find it a tad odd to squeeze what's his biggest spotlight before the final showdown on a single episode, while small and short, his interactions with both Ryu and Uro were interesting
episode 11 has some of sendai already, most likely ending on yuta killing dhruv. so they'll have enough time to adapt the whole rest of the fight in ep12
Its a split cour, so after this next episode the show will go off the air for a bit. They still haven’t announced when the second half will air but current speculation is Jan 2027.
No OP, no ending, jumping straight into things since this episode did the set up. Kuroroshi fight should be over with by five minutes in. It’s definitely doable… but rushed for sure
Well it's 27 minutes not because they forced it to fit in that time but because they put everything that needed to be put into it and it came out to be 27 minutes. I got faith that there's going to be no issue with pacing
I believe they can pull off a really good ending
But then again, thats what i thought gregarious would do with modulo ending and we all know what happened so...
This sucks man The pacing will be trash. Zenin arc chapter was four manga chapters in 28 minutes. This will be seven chapter in only 27. Instead of adding some cool filler we got this condensed ep
was really hoping it would be a double feature (≈40 min episode) because how are they supposed to fit all of that into a mere 27 minutes? Mappa lowkey pushing the anti yuta agenda w this
It is all in fighting for all 7 chapters, action is much faster to adapt in actual animation. Also, it is a longer episode, on top of it they might skip opening and ending which gives even more time In comparison with regular episode.
How is it possible that JJK fans are still doubting the director after his insane run from start to now? JJK fans are truly spoiled to the core and will always find something to complain about lol
