AN-32: Jujutsu Kaisen [S1]

It's the first episode of Season TWO, y'all!! We are back!

Yes, I know we went on a much longer hiatus than we originally anticipated, but hopefully you didn't curse us too much. Even if you did, we're just going to channel all that cursed energy into this episode! That's right, this week we are jamming out to Jujutsu Kaisen and serving up a saucy review of season 1's sonic sorcery.

There was a lot of audio to unpack from this Anime --2 OPs, 2 EDs, and over 2.5 hours of an OST-- and we listened to all of it. Quite honestly, this is one of our favorite new-gen Animes and although we had a ton of compliments, we had quite a few critiques as well. The audio team for this project is definitely a top tier, A-level team. The sonic realm that they built for a "cursed world" is a powerful domain that truly captures the audience in its expansion. Some of the musics they composed are genuine masterpieces. I don't know if it was a time constraint, the pressure from the studio to meet deadlines, or just a lack of focus on some very key moments of the show, but there were quite a few "dropped the ball" moments when listening to these songs in context. That ultimately lead to our final verdict when scoring this audio.

This season of the Anime Noise Podcast we have developed a new rating system for our anime reviews. Everything we review will be ranked on a 7★ [star] scale...if you don't understand why then you're too young to listen to this podcast lol

Strap on the cans, let's jam!
