“Hello!I’ve been wanting to recommend a show to you all ever since I heard about its anime adaptation back in 2020. With our recent discussions, from the incredible “Blue-Eyed Samurai” to the latest Miyazaki Studio Ghibli review, I couldn’t help but think of it. The frequent mentions of the name “Mahito” reminded me of my favorite yet most despised villain with the same name in the absolutely fantastic “Jujutsu Kaisen” by Gege Akutami.
This series really stands out by how it blends the best of classic Shonen stories and unique power systems,(It echoes shows like “Bleach” and “Hunter x Hunter”), but skips the lengthy training arcs and filler episodes that tend to drag other series down. (Yes, I’m looking at you, One Piece!)
The cast of well-developed, endearing characters, mixed with the series’ dark tone set against the backdrop of real-world Tokyo (and Shibuya in season 2), deliver an emotional gut punch that few other series can match.
The real-world implications extend beyond the anime/manga itself. The anime’s production studio, MAPPA, has recently been in the spotlight for its demanding work conditions. Their schedule is as tight as South Park’s, with just one week per episode. Despite this, MAPPA has been churning out significant anime shows and movies using a similar timeline over the past few years. There’s been concern over whether episodes would stay on schedule. While they did come out on time, they were rushed and Ultimately aired unfinished. With Season 2 is wrapping up on the 28th, bringing the total to 47 episodes and a movie that made more then Space Jam and The Matrix in 2021. I would say now is the perfect time to jump in on a series that I am unable to look away from, despite the emotional rollercoaster it puts me through”

“Film criticism is alive and well in FITWR. I can always count on them to fill my brain with thoughts, which is more than many of the films themselves. May all the listeners of great podcasts find this one and become hooked.”

“One plus for each of the fantastic co-hosts, who each bring their own wonderful elements to the show. Always a fun and smart movie podcast, toggling easily from mainstream to artsy fare. And they have a great sense of fun. Patches Matches 4ever and ever!”

“Glad I twigged in that Op Kino evolved. Great fresh perspective on film and pop culture in general. Though possible minus is that Patches convinced me to watch "The Smurfs".”Read full review »
