SURPRISING | Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 20 Animation Breakdown 

I am sure they can produce decent looking episode in 5 hours. JJK has literal powerhouses of the whole industry.

You forgot to mention how animators feel like yuuji in episode 17...

​@@KNM_Piash I know they're powerhouses..but 5 hours? That's an hyperbole right?

​@@KNM_Piashthey can probably produce a decent episode in less time then standard and thats kinda what they're doing but 5hrs is Crazy lol

Do you know how much time drawing one frame takes?@@KNM_Piash

I see what u did there ✨

And their bosses got 120% of their pay check

​@@no_name4796they def got what they deserved💯

The animator gave 120% of their potential with their shitty schedule

They really did man they deserve the best

Yea and they're underpaid too

THE ACT OF APPLAUSE IS THE ACCLAMATION OF THE SOUL

@@elidieslit thats next ep

@@ImSpookd duhhh

@@elidieslit "We didn't switch-"

crazy thing is even with the strict deadlines and bad top end management from mappa, jjk s2 is probably the best animated show of all time

bro it's still one if the best animated seasons I've ever seen tho, we got some generational stuff thoughout

I can confirm that I indeed loved that speech

Yeah a vacation

​​@@1kbmahan They definitely need it after SS2 end

madhouse animator who works on frieren laugh on this.

​@@peroastinktidakhandal Literally Father and Son.

@@peroastinktidakhandal nah they got nothing on this

Naah, i didn't believe the first time when people said that ep 17 surpasses episode 16, this time I'm still try not to hold high expectations, but kind of have faith that this might be legendary.

​@@omocat4944In some ways 17 was better than 16. Way more inconsistent for sure but the action and background animation was balls to the walls crazy.

lol I wouldn't believe anything from leakers unless it's maybe a few hours before the actual episode drops

That episode was way more ambitious than the previous at the expense of a worse schedule, hence both of them having different flaws they don’t share.

​@@omocat4944 Ep 17 was objectively better animated though

Fr, Miwa had me about to tear up

@@Kurocentsfr 😭 and Yuji on the ground 😭😭😭

I think that one Maki scene in S3 ( considering you are a manga reader) should be well animated

@@cursedstone7939especially “destroy everything”

I'm not sure if they will get to it in season 3, but when sendai colony get animated its going to be peak

⁠​⁠​⁠@@cursedstone7939 (emotional spoilers kind of??) with how impactful but also very painful that mini Arc can be, I feel like it would be best if some parts go black and white to show Maki’s detachment and the lack of feeling one must go through to accomplish it. Like that one part in kill bill vol. 1 when Beatrix kills/wounds all of those Crazy 88’s where it’s like a means to an end.

Mappa is not going to have the same animators anymore, like who the hell is going to work for mappa after season 2 for minimum pay and literally slave labor. Most of these animators don't care about the IPs as long as they can do fun animations where they can be creative, hopefully other studios pick them up and treat them better.

it's always like that, also s1 had a lot of problem of schedule, some episodes completely destroyed by cgi background or not so much character acting, just the fact we are getting this quality is incredible only ep 8/14/18 are pretty incomplete

​@@francescomastroianni963 S1 was atleast more consistent compared to season 2 which has more cgi backgrounds. S2 do have more dynamic camera angles and frames, however there is a drawback to it where there are several backgrounds during the fights that does not track what is shown in the front and it becomes a battle where they fight in the air. Not to mention a lot of it barely has details when it goes in to these "sakuga" moments because they sacrifice details and proportion for fluidity. In one moment the character can be one style and the next moment its another (like there is several different artist working on seperated stuff).

Some fights in S2 have long surpassed S1 lmao

I mean it is a great drawing though

I will not really call them jjk doomers, wh3n the biggest animaters are basically saying fuck you mappa, and dip, I genuinely thought that this type of episode wouldn't exist with the character acting. After all that of course, people and me will say that the production will burn to the ground.

'JJK doomers' I hope you're not talking about people who actually care about the animators

@@ronel7836 next episode should be higher priority but the episodes after that will probably look bad or mid at best the good thing is there isnt much action in them

By doomer do you mean the people worried about the staff😭???

@@omarfakhoury4483 Next episode is already confirmed by several reliable leakers to better than this one as it has a better action board

This was already more than fire so next episode would be Atomic bomb levels

that face is so memeable

Nah I thought it was kinda awkward when he was holding that face tho ngl

@@TalkingPigeon642 He's not holding it a long time, in real time this is like a split second.

​@@TalkingPigeon642 It literally lasts a second lmao watch the actual episode

Why not lol

Mappa going one step ahead of gege

Stop glazing, no it hasn't just look at episode 18 this was way better

​​@@TalkingPigeon642 Only three eps looked a bit weak but they're still miles better than most of the anime eps that are being put out

@@TalkingPigeon642 Lmao lol even

Todo supremacy

He only reviews the episodes that have a videos worth of animation to breakdown

@@chilli4300 Oh ok, thanks.

Eh I don't think the issue with episode 17 was drawing quality I think it was maybe clarity because alot of frames were cut and unfinished

he said that in the "community" part of youtube.

Stop forcing, Mahito voice acting was amazing but this doesn't make greater than the absolute insane animation of this episode.

Black flashes are super saturated and have a lot of different colored impact frames which mess with seizure and epilepsy laws

@@chilli4300That makes sense, I didn't feel annoyed by the ghosting since the Mechamaru episode but this was just too much.

Bruh I didn't even notice them until people pointed it out on twitter ngl

@@TalkingPigeon642 Nah I can hardly tell what's going on in Yuji and Todo's black flash scenes. I saw some frame by frame screenshots on twiter and the Todo scene especially had so much in it that was completely unnoticable because of the dimming and ghosting.

​@Huh-oh3mx we'll just have to wait until the blue ray version releases, ppl on youtube upload comparison videos too, still kinda sucks tho

todo is always goofy in s1 while clapping his hands has a super goofy face

Hope so

it was@@mohamedyasi7876

mahito vs mechamaru exist

@@francescomastroianni963and choso blood manipulation vs gojo

Fr. The dimming for Yuji's Black Flash was atrocious. So annoying

@@atpr3241 so how is that Mappa's fault 🤣

@@atpr3241 so how is that Mappa's fault 🤣

It's very much there in other anime, it's a seizure prevention thing implemented by Japanese television. Some shows have the ghosting removed on streaming services but not JJK for some reason. I believe they ghost any scene where a rapid change in color occurs in a span of 10 frames (or something like that). This only applies to the more popular tv time slots...I think.

@@ProbablyPretentiousfrickin seizures

​@@edythebeast7087that's cap. You haven't watched a lot of animes then huh. Even MHA does ghosting and dimming

@@itsjustvin7630 ok?

Most of the staff post their stuff on twitter

Lie it has a great strory line as well

Most of the "misinformation" came from the staff itself, so I don't know what you're on about. Also the production cracks are still quite visible, especially in certain episodes, which is particularly concerning because of the massive amounts of talent involved. The whole fiasco is very well documented, mostly from official sources, very little of it is actually misinformation.

Even if it's very little overall, the impact it had was very significant. How many articles and posts written about how the production completely fell apart and to expect delays? That was now episodes ago., and I still see comments referring to that. This episode had less cracks than almost every other episode so far. Other than the ghosting and dimming, most of what you mentioned this video was practically unnoticeable to the masses.@@ProbablyPretentious

​@@NUCelusive1Most of the original posts on twitter and reddit never really said that there would be delays. That exaggeration was spread by people like Chibi who refuse to do any research. Like take me, I was only involved in the youtube community, so used to watch CR for me news. It took me a long time to realize how clickbaity, misinformed and exaggerated his videos are. So i dont really blame the audience. On a separate note, its a lot better for people to get surprised after expecting worse, than to get dissappointed.

season 1 had the same problem with condition, and s1 has like 5 episode good and the other kinda mid, just watch is video about s1, just the background ruin all the good animation of s1. in s2 we have very very very good background and action animation, also a lot of character acting with animation of s1 problably yuji will be a still frame while crying

you must be special ed then

In ss1, they put too much emphasis on character design, leading to many battles like massages with no power and very bad backgrounds, while ss2's animations are much smoother and better, and the moves are also much smoother than ss1.

Consult a doctor.

@@arthurmorgan251 No.

Animation was broken after episode 17, episode 18, for example. Animation was broken before episode 17 as well, let's just call a spade a spade. Of course, this is not a shot at the staff, it's a shot at the management.

Episode 18 still exists we're lucky to have amazing animators who are able to still pull through but clearly you don't care

@@ProbablyPretentious 1 out of 3 episodes & the animation in 18 wasn’t broken either & no i will not call a spade a spade bc channels like this made it seem like we were gonna get the 7 deadly sins treatment

@@bigmo3692it was never gonna be like 7ds, just a lot worse than it should be for the level of staff working on the show

it's not mappa fault, si the japanese channels that add these effects after the episode is finished.

I'm 95% sure you're supposed to pronounce it the way I did, it's a French name I believe, I looked up the pronunciation a while back. It's "coulo" with a nasal sound. At least according to a YT tutorial.

Todo

Yutapon inspired animation

Yes Kohei Hirota worked on the Todo black flash sequence

Todo's outer space hyper speed sequence was very reminiscent of those of Iida and Deku and Co in MHA. Seemed like Yutaka Nakamura inspired stuff, as the video said.

Hell no. The animators are still being put through hell, we should instead appreciate the animators even more.

Fym, that part was sick as hell

When bait used to be believable

that sequence is what good animation is, full movement and also all the light in the blade of mahito, is okay to not like it

@@francescomastroianni963 the effect with the blade look good but u can’t try to convince me that a Todo with absurd proportion and a seemingly childish drawing blocking Mahito’s attack look good to the eye

Keep quiet 🤡

@@AJ-ry8qd Sure, be a fan-boy. I repeat, I liked the ep, but there were so many unintentional off-model shots and messy cuts...

@@powerofberzerker9487 genuine question, when were there ever off-model characters in the episode cause I straighed up thought the character were very consistent

@@youngman5890 Todo looked like five different characters... In terms of his eyes, their positioning, their size and shape.

@@powerofberzerker9487 Baka🤣

yeah cause people want that panel exactly like the manga 1:1, they animated it like that no because "they don't have time" but is intentionally

@@francescomastroianni963 I imagine it is because they didnt have time and the point OF A ANIME IS TO ANIMATE MANGA NOT USE MANGA PANELS

@@HamTheMissile no, you can crearly see they make it intentionally cause when they showed nobara this episode was her manga panel. people want this manga panel animated like that and they done it well, also if you see the drawing is good, and still if you animate that panel i think you can't make a shot in movement when they are posing.

"people wanted it animated like that" ITS NOT FUCKING ANIMATED THATS THE PROBLEM@@francescomastroianni963

"they cant make a shot in movement when they are posing" someone hasnt heard of jojo@@francescomastroianni963

that's what she said
