    Unsurprising to see. Jigokuraku is a solid anime based on a solid, if not amazing, manga. If you’re interested in a supernatural shonen battle anime, this one is one of the better ones. It’s better than Jujutsu Kaisen (not that the bar for that is very high since JJK is not very good), is reasonably well paced, has a self-contained story, and ends after a reasonable amount of time. The one thing I don’t care for in regards to the anime is pacing. The anime is fairly slow, with each chapter being one episode thereabouts. You could easily fit two full chapters into a given episode, though. Maybe cut out some parts of the manga from the anime, and then have the full series done with over the course of around 4 cours. It seems like every anime today tries to be a shot for shot adaptation of the source material. Which I know the fans generally like, but not everything necessarily translates that cleanly between mediums and the adaptation suffers because of it.

        (I’m not the guy you’re replying)

        The tones in JJK get too serious for what it’s actually trying to be, which is a high-budget action-comedy shonen. It’s one thing to have a story filled with death, tragedy and dark tones, and it’s another to have one with goofy characters kicking ass in a lighthearted environment. JJK falls flat with its implementation of mixing them, unlike so many others that do it better (e.g. FMA, Re:Zero, One Piece etc).

    This is great news, I liked the general idea just wish they get a better animation budget/team, it was lacking in a lot of scenes. Still excited overall.

    Is there something happening where a lot of this seasons shows were supposed to be 24 or 26 episode season but they were forced to be cut in half? I feel there’s a good amount of shows ending now in spring to have the “season 2” in Fall. Regardless I’m happy for new episodes.

    I’m glad it’s getting a second season. I couldn’t hold it anymore and read the manga after the 10th episode. Finished it in a couple of days. I’m excited for the upcoming fights and interactions between characters.
