I actually loved it. The new directing is so creative, the characters feel more expressive and likable and the vibe is so fun. Can't wait to see more!

Ah, it's fucking finally HERE, god i had such a shitty day and i just finished this episode now and it fixed it perfectly.

I really enjoyed the animation, which surprised me.

And most importantly - I GET TO SEE MY BABY GETOU IN ANIME FORM (before he went insane, ofc, and i get to see his descent to madness FINALLY) !!!!!

it was alright, but they tried way too hard to capture the "cinematic" experince. MAPPA is the definition of a wannabe ufotbale there was some camera movement and there were some shots that straight up look awkward. I shake my head in disappointment, this is not the MAPPA that I know and fell in love with, the MAPPA that made god of high school and jjk season 1 had their unique style. now they want to capture the style of ufotable, camera movement while characters are moving , but fail at it horribly.  
I liked the studio when I saw shingeki no bahamut, garo and few recent works.
What you said might be true but Ufotable delivers barely 12 episodes per year, whereas Mappa this year is having 70+ episodes. If you see it that way workload is quite heavy.(also jjk2 director worked in chainsaw man and jjk2 project at the same time.)
If Mappa's all best staff worked on one project a year I think they can deliver episodes with same quality as Ufotable.
not even close. Even with their best staffs with more time They cant even come close to demon slayer and lets not even talk about fate series

It's finally here...the first episode of the new JJK season!
Been a while since I read this part in the manga, so quite refreshing to see it being adapted to such a good standard, you can tell they went all out on this first episode.
The scenes with Mei and Utahime at the beginning were great, really able to nail that build up without it really falling off at any point.
Nice seeing Satoru again, and of course this Suguru, off to a good start I would say with them saving the vessel, and a sneak peek of "Zen'in" at the end there.

Great first episode, I've been waiting since the end of the first season, and I'm glad it's finally here. I love the new art style, and I'm glad that we'll be seeing much more of Gojo.

Peak shonen is back ladies and gentlemen and Mappa Cooked hard on this one ! Love the op and ed visuals and the songs are chill and will probably grow on me as time passes . Saw alot of people hating on the animation but there's nothing wrong with it imo its just a simpler art style and I'm all for it honestly I think they may have better action sequences that way so I hope people wait and see how this season will continue to look in future episodes .

The first half of the episode was really fun, but as soon as Gojo arrived, the fun ended.
This anime would be much better without this annoying cancer character ruining everything all the time; the ending almost made me turn off the TV to avoid dying of cringe.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

Am I the only one who mistook Shoko for Nobara at first? They look very similar to me.

And also, after watching the first season, I think I will like Geto more than Gojo. That man has some serious style.

Loved the first episode.

Jujutsu Kaisen is back! Honestly, this first episode felt very different compared to the s1 plot and characterization. Felt very refreshing and intriguing. The animation was great, just as always and..

the opening was probably the best one it got so far. Can't wait to see more of Toji, Getto and Gojou and learn more about Riko!

Overall solid first episode. The infinite hallway at the beginning reminded me of chainsaw man. The digimon reference made the episode for me, it was just perfect. I've heard a lot of hype things about the character that appeared at the end of episode and I can't wait to see what it's all about.

Amazing first episode. Loved the new art style, I think it fits better with the style of the anime. Gojo and Geto’s dynamic is fun to watch (even though we know what happens). Teasing at the end with that new character makes me even more excited.

That was a great first episode. It's always cool to see adult characters as teenagers, especially since the hazards of their occupation age them up quick. Just look at Shouko and Utahime in this ep vs their adult selves in season 1. The animation is still top notch, and I loved the opening.

This is my personal favorite arc of the story, and I hope those who are experiencing this arc for the first time come to a similar conclusion.

Also, getting Takehito Koyasu as Toji is perfect casting.

A great start, I think the art direction is already miles above season 1, and that already looked great.
It's pretty wild to start off the season with a flashback that features hardly any characters we know that well besides Gojo, but it's where the manga goes next and due to the popularity of Gojo it works well.
This will easily blow season 1 out of the water by the time it's done, guaranteed!

Is this season/arc a prequel?
Yeah, this is basically a Gojo's Past arc, and it explains the causes of the things that happen in the future, including the movie, and also obviously the second part of this season, which continues the plot after the actual season 1 and is probably gonna make fans go apeshit. The timeline is S2 first part - Movie - S1 - S2 second part (i've read that there may be recaps but for that i am not sure)

So... last episode, they went shopping, Gojo called in for a top secret mission. Then season 2 is set god knows how many years in the past and that's it? I'm somewhat confused.

People favorite character is back with his bare blue eyes seen. Mei Mei voice is so sexy, and still can't see how Utahime fight...
Gojo with Digimon evolution. Haha
The Fushiguro guy is Megumi's dad right? Now I know Zenin is actually Megumi's mom... And will she appears soon?
Well, the OP and the ED song is not great as the first season are...
