  • I’ve been looking forward to continue Jujutsu Kaisen, but I can hardly remember season 1. It seems to have been overwritten by Chainsaw Man and Demon Slayer in my head.

    Watching season 2 was a bit confusing at first, especially because it’s about events that happen before season 1. But now I’m wondering what I ever liked about the series. The characters are bland, the abilities and powers feel inconsistent. But most damning of all is the constant exposition. Every fart has to be explained by a character and it’s somehow simultaneously unnecessarily complicated and boring. But the animation is great!

    On the upside I gave Pluto on Netflix another shot. The first time I bounced off it after the first 15min. This time I made it through the first episode, which didn’t quite hook me either. But after hearing so much praise about it, I immediately went into episode 2 and finally got it. Reminded me of sci-fi classics like Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner. And of Watchmen, the comic in particular. Haven’t finished it yet, but would also highly recommend it to anyone interested in dense, philosophical sci-fi!
