I was planning on writing something about it. The whole Shibuya Incident Arc was a hot mess of....something. I had no idea what was going on but I was just riding along. I have no idea why everyone was hyping the Thunderclap episodes so much, I thought those were the weakest episodes. I did learn to like this show a little though. The clear strenght of JJK are the amazing characters. I just turn my brains off with the fights and when the characters explain their new techniques that they pulled off their asses for half an episode. Right and Wrong were great episodes and I really liked the first 5 flashback episodes. I think I would be a lot more invested in this show if they had showed these episodes in chronological order. First season would be Hidden Inventory + JJK 0 movie, second season would be the current first season and then third season would be the Shibuya Arc. Maybe that's just me, cause most people seem to love this show as is.
Also I have no idea why people hype Mappa so much. The animation felt really off and even lazy so many times and the fight animations had a lot of weird choices. I was also not impressed with Vinland Saga S2 animation, Chainsaw Man was amazing though.
I rated the first season 7,5/10 and I'm gonna give the second season the same rating. Would be a lot better if it wasn't so confusing. Also I have no idea what happened at the final episode, it just ended?
The animation did fall off quite a bit in a number of episodes, but I also saw that there were quite a lot of issues in MAPPA's studio during the production. Artists were forced to sign an NDA so that they couldn't talk about it, but were being overworked to extremes and being paid very little, and then had animators quit mid-production but refused to delay the schedule releases so the ones left were overworked even further and were not satisfied with the art they were putting out and even saying some of it wasn't even finished when it was released. Here's a screenshot of one of the artists talking about the abuse he has received on twitter about it.
Aside from the animation being released unfinished in parts that are clearly visible and the untenable working conditions the artists are put through, the story just does not make sense. And I see people on reddit talking about "well it's pretty straight forward in the anime, Good guys want to get rid of curses, bad guys want more curses" there is way more to the plot than that, clearly with Geto or whoever he's supposed to be now, and the power structure and domain expansions (Which I still have no clue what it is nor how its created, or what it does, or how difficult its supposed to be to do, etc.) just further complicates an already complicated plot told in a non-chronological way. It's one thing to have a Tarantino-esque plot when the world is known and things happen in an order and way that a person can relate to, it's entirely another when the world and its rules are foreign and explanations are few and far between.
Like you, I gave up trying to understand somewhere along the way with this past season and just started to watch because it was hype and some of the art is absolutely fantastic, but I doubt I will be sticking with it for future seasons, as my exploration in understanding it has led me to find comments like "well if you don't understand what's going on now, just WAIT until next season when it gets even more convoluted".
