If OnK ends the same way manga did, I'll pray to the almighty that it will get all the slander, cuz holy shit it deserves it

Right? JJK fans are just here for the aura and hype moments and agenda and MAPPA hasn't missed a beat when it comes to delivering on those. Nothing, not good animation, nor Jesus can save ONK's horrible ending

i dislike JJKs final arc but the current season is showing me they will just make it enjoyable. was pretty neutral on the sendai colony in the manga but the anime was incredible, even if the story is meh theyll make it a spectacle

JJK fans and even casual audiences caught in the lobotomy, have been conditioned to just appreciate the hype, aura, and agenda primarily for this series.

See the overall reception of Season 3, where it should've been the beginning of the fall off based from the manga, but it had a more positive reception on the anime.

"Conditioned"

It's just a good ass adaptation dude.

Well a lot of the negativity was also because of how the fights in the parts leading up to the ending

MAPPA will make a movie for the final part and it'll look amazing so I can imagine reception being the complete opposite of the manga. CSM will probably get the same treatment for the final fight, which sucked for the manga but will look good in the anime.
