HTML-код

Woof* we ALMOST didn't get this one out for 10AM but we did it boi! So happy to have something new to be so enthusiastic about. Also really excited to share it with people my age who wouldn't necessarily pick it up at first glance. Anyway, we're going to have a full month in May, it looks like we may be pumping out three videos (including a new look at Dorohedoro which i know a lot of you guys were excited about, sorry to have to push that back.) As always, you guys are the best! Please consider supporting the channel on patreon, and if you wanna get yourself something nice, currently our displate link carries a 30% off discount and it's in the description. We'll see you real soon.

Might not be around you're age I'm 25 (well still kinda of close) but I did grew up with yu yu hakusho and dbz on the old toonami. So I appreciate this video very much and hope the best of luck for this channel
And make sure you take care of your mental health
Your description of the horror aspects had me mildly interested. The description of curses had me all in. This might be what I was looking for.
new to the channel and your content is cool i liked the akira video you did
This video essay is a masterpiece, love your perspective and edits, very well presented.
Sidenote - I'm watching To Your Eternity and it is extremely top tier storytelling - just be mindful of the feels when engaging.
Doesn't hurt that this show has some of the most slappin intro & outro songs/animations out there.
I agree
I could not stop myself from watching/listening to the outro, and even usually the intro to the first half of season one. Then, at least with the outro, it shifted tone so hard that I wanted nothing to do with it.
@@codyramsey7217 aw, I loved the second one!
I liked all of them but especially the first op
i've been spamming kaikaik kitan for about a month now
"Humans are constantly leaking cursed energy. A lot of it is in DeviantArt." Good point.
Yuuup
Jujutsu Kaisen S2 is going to break the internet just like Demon Slayer did. Shibuya Incident Arc is probably up there with the biggest Shonen Arcs ever.
Word I put it up there with Yorknew and slightly below marineford.
No
@@KaiserReb yorknew isn’t really that good tbh
@@Trxpamvs re watch the anime
@@KaiserReb yorknew is good but i think chimera ant is the best of hunter hunter
I've been so impressed with the female characters as well, as a woman myself who has watched a lot of shounen in my youth and adulthood. They aren't just love interests or hindrances, they aren't overly sexualised, and in my opinion, well written characters. The way they've done the female characters should be the baseline for shounen shows to come. And they're not perfect characters by any means, they have flaws and limitations just like the rest of them but that's what we want.
I’ve gotten to where I hate romance sub-plots so much that I almost can’t even enjoy a good one anymore. I was so happy to finally find an anime that not only didn’t have any fanservice, but also treated its female cast as actual people, I honestly couldn’t contain myself. Lol.
the focus is still on the male characters thought, being strong and fighting good doesn't do everything, Yuuji and Megumi both have this really interesting theme of choosing who to save and the consequences of it, what does Nobara have ? except Maki none of the female characters get much focus for the theme and the narrative, they are strong and not sexualized and that's great, would be better if they were more relevant to the plot in my opinion
i kind of find it annoying how i keep seeing people praising the serie for the great female characters, when the author really is just doing the bare minimum, it's just that people are not used to seeing that in battle anime that just sad.
No one cares
@@codyramsey7217 it still has fanservice
Yeah! It's honestly still male focused but simply had female characters that aren't ruined by forced sexualization, and are good side characters that have their own struggles and strengths
Yuuji isn't just Fit, that dude is legitimately a superhuman, even compared to other sorcerer's around his level he absolutely outclasses them when it comes to physicals.
He could flick them and crush their bones
It's got to either be a heavenly restriction, or... MAJOR MANGA SPOILERS BELOW -
Yuji has to be a cursed death womb engineered by Kenjaku (aka noritoshi kamo, Getou, or 'brain') to be Sukunas vessel, to bring back the Heian era
We know Kenjaku performed all kinds of experiments during his time as noritoshi kamo, and we also see the cursed wombs become progressively more refined over time - one brother is a weak, grotesque abomination, the butterfly guy is a lot more refined but still has a giant mouth on his back, and Choso is extremely refined, being indistinguishable from a human except for his nearly limitless supply of blood.
We know that Kenjaku inhabited Yuji's mother. And we know Yuji is very young compared to Choso who was born 150+ years ago. Kenjaku's skills must have improved during that time from all his experimentation and learning. Most likely they improved to the point that he could manually engineer a vessel for Sukuna. The probability of it happening by random chance is astronomically low, Gojo even says there's no guarantee another vessel will EVER be born. Yuji was created deliberately to be Sukunas vessel.
Consider Kenjakus ultimate goal, bringing back the Heian era. He basically states it after he absorbs mahito and releases all the cursed spirits. "Do you see it Sukuna? The return of the Heian era"
Bringing back Sukuna would be all but necessary to reinstitute the rule of curses. It's no coincidence we see all the unregistered nature curses, who work with Getou/Kenjaku, appearing immediately after Yuji absorbs sukuna. Almost as if this was all part of his plan and he was orchestrating events to have Yuji become the vessel.
Like why the fuck else would Yujis mom be taken over by Kenjaku lol
It all fits together so perfectly, that I'd be shocked if this weren't true.
Yuji's superhuman abilities are probably a consequence of being a cursed womb, and being engineered to be as strong as possible to actually be able to contain Sukuna. Not a casual feat. We know about the duality of the body and soul from both mahito and Toji Fushiguro (his body was so powerful it overtook the soul of that lady's grandson). So you would need an unbelievably powerful body and soul to not be taken over by Sukuna.
This is the reason for yujis superhuman abilities imo.
@@whirlwind872 There is a problem with this theory though, which is sukuna himself. He is a hedonist, not really giving to much of a damn whether or not demons rule, why would Yuji be assigned as the vessel for sukuna if Sukuna isn't really trying to follow anything himself?
@@sebastianswan7975 I don't think that's a probelm at all, because Sukuna's desires aren't really relevant beyond his desire to exist at all, and to wreak havoc on the world. He might not care about other curses, but he doesn't need to. He's not the one bringing the other curses back, Kenjaku is. And Sukuna most definitely has plans to revive himself, as evidenced by Uraume showing up after the Jogo fight and Sukuna mentioning to continue their preparations.
The point is, Sukuna doesn't need to give a fuck about anything other than A) living, and B) wreaking havoc on the world. Those 2 things were key characteristics of the Heian era. Which Kenjaku wishes to bring back. How will he bring it back? By helping to revive Sukuna. In order to revive sukuna, a vessel is required. Kenjaku created Yuji to be that vessel, in order to facilitate the recombining of sukuna's fragments (fingers).
That's why kenjaku would create someone to be Sukuna's vessel. That "someone" just happened to be our main character Yuji.
@@whirlwind872 Yuji is able to control his body a bit even when sukuna takes over, do you consider that a side effect just like his superhuman abilities?
When you get people that understand the medium and have grown up seeing the flaws in things they love as kids/teens it’s a recipe for greatness. Just needs a chance.
Love seeing all the love and admiration JJK is still getting and Mappa really sealed the deal with the anime
Ikr they are so overworked tho I wish they would take a break
@@ThatOneGuyYouSawAMonthAgo9576 tbh just let dem to them don’t worry about dem you ain’t doin the work
@@skilla5973 chill man where's the hate coming from?
@@euto-kun256 wym
a day with Bonsai Pop video, no matter how bad it is, turns into a great day.
facts
Well said!
What JJK really gets right more than any shonen in the last fifteen years is characterization. Yes the fight scenes are fire, yes the power system is creative and allows for amazing dynamism in its storytelling. Yes the show walks the line beautifully between brutality horror and and sincerity. But at the end of the day all the characters have depth they’re thought out and sympathetic there’s something human to every character heroes villains and side characters which is why the overall theme of what does it mean to be a human hit so hard I deadass could watch these characters in a slice of life anime and be just as hooked I even found myself wishing the characters didn’t have to go through such traumatic arcs b/c I genuinely wants these fictional characters to live happy lives thanks for showing the show the appreciation it deserves
Yes! You worded my thoughts perfectly on what makes the characters so interesting! Like you just wish for them to live normal lives but they're somehow stuck in the Jujutsu world. The dynamic of the core trio is so entertaining I wouldn't mind watching fillers of them just having fun and being chaotic. That's why the Juju stoll bits are just gold! Makes me want an "alternate universe" series
Even Gojo, the most arrogant, inhuman person in the series has incredible depth. Akutami is a genius.
Damn. I gotta watch this then. Your description is exactly the reason I loved HxH. I hope the hype is real.
„All the characters have depth they’re thought out“ yeah actually no lmfao 😂 the worst rushed ahh development i have ever seen and the female cast has no development at all tf you talking about? Megumi development? wtf just no
Akutami said in an interview that he expects to finish the manga by the next two years, but that content in the manga so far still gives us probably 2 or 3 more seasons of anime
@TheDiabeticGameMaster Yep. The decades long run works for One Piece, but most other manga i feel like are better off having a shorter, well paced story, which seems to be the new standard in the industry.
@TheDiabeticGameMaster Depends on the series to be honest..
ONE Piece , Kingdom etc work because of the slow burn.. Building Hype and stuff..
I think JJK should run for around 300 chapters which i don't see happening...
Lol Oda said 5 years 5 years ago. So take that with a grain of salt
@@zero-pl3tt I love the build up in longer manga and we are have character depth BUT I love shorter mangas as well it helps people to get into anime and also its short so that you don't feel guilty for overwatching.
I also hope mappa sticks to the manga. Because second seasons of any anime this year is pure tragedy.......ahm ahm The Promised Neverland.
JUJUTSU Kaisen deserves the hype. It takes everything from it's predecessors and improves upon them. And it's not the only show. Csm, hell's paradise, and undead unluck are really breaking the regular shounen mold.
Oh don't forget blood blockade battlefront. Like seriously that series is so underrated
@@xblade149 I meant more like new gen and kekkai sensen really isn't shounen. But yeah I agree I love that show. Wish it got more attention
@@nahomthegeek4014 blood blockade battlefront is a shonen its publish in jump square, a monthly shonen magazines. But yeah I love that series I wish it gets more attention.
@@xblade149 oh really? Didn't know that. Mhm
@@nahomthegeek4014 yep, to be frank monthly shonen magazines are targeted to older audience between the ages of 16 to 21.
It’s interesting to see the author’s inspiration from bleach or Yu Yu Hukasho as he did an interview with them
You say yuyu first since bleach is inspired from it. Mention the older before the younger
@@KaiserReb I know but still
But it takes a lot of inspiration from Naruto
@@shrooms847 I didn’t see that much inspiration from Naruto unless you count some of the character designs honestly
@@watchforever1724 MC has a powerful entity trapped inside, the team are in groups of three, the whole thing with the lineage and bloodlines.
I hope this show becomes a instant classic in the next 15 years
Along with Aot, Demon Slayer, and Mob Psycho all of them are great
Too bad it won’t last long enough
@@mahmouddioum3792 Really? damn that sucks I wanted it to last like one piece
@@ThatOneGuyYouSawAMonthAgo9576 Yeah it has like 2 years left :(
@@almightygod87 ugh that's terrible man is it worth watching/reading if I'm gonna get my heart broken
I totally latched on to jjk from the beginning and now i realize thats partially becuase it almosts fills the hole hunter x hiatus leaves in me. Its original but its got similar writing styles. I also love the lack of fanservice, really helps me to take the series seriously. Also love (hate) how my favorite characters could die at any second like aot.
Hunter X Hiatus... XD
You can definitely feel the HxH inspiration in the different powers Gege has crafted. The Projection Cursed Technique used by some of the Zen'in feels like it's straight out of HxH
yes even tho I hate seeing my babies get merked, it makes the stakes much higher and much more realistic. nothing's more annoying than know x character will be fine no matter what bc plot armor
Sukuna being such a chaotic evil wild card that doesn't care what the other villains are up to is one of my favorite things about his character.
Yes
One thing that really surprised me about JJK was how unusually fast I've grown to love the cast of characters. It's insane how likeable, well designed and just generally entertaining all of them are. Really looking forward to the future of the series!
Gege's greatest skill is in character introductions. For example, Higurama.
"Except for My Hero after our Endeavor video I don't want to play with those kids anymore"
Best line in the video.
I don’t know if the “no good or bad” rule really applies towards Jujutsu. Curses, even sentient ones, are literally born from human hate and fear. Hanami isn’t a representation of nature, but of our fear towards the ugly parts if it. They’re evil pretty much by definition. Jogo said so himself that curses have a constant need to inflict pain and death and destruction. They’re all the worst parts of us.
and moreso how Megumi told Yuji "We aren't superheroes. We're Jujutsu Sorcerers." Really paints a picture that as Jujutsu Sorcerers it's not about being good or bad but just getting the job done. Even Gojo remarked "You have to be mad to take part in this type of job."
I think in an interview gege talked abt "no good/bad" being the central theme of jjk, but he was more referring towards the humans as in kenjaku aka geto2.0. Esp geto, he isn't "bad" necessarily because the way he goes over to the "dark" side is understandable, and we sympathize towards him. Gege specifically mentioned how the curses esp mahito is just pure evil and likes to do evil for the sake of it, but I guess I could see how the other curses (jogo/hanami) seem to have their own reasons and motivations for doing things.
well not really. you have curses like choso who aren't bad.
@@ayatoculus one problem. Choso isnt full curse. He actually is part human
@@itsjustvin7630 yeah ik that but he shows how someone who's somewhat of a curse has more heart than humans sometimes.
The script for this video is looking pretty tight, the humor is especially noticable good work guys
JJK made me hype for anime again
“I don’t want to play with those kids anymore”
Fucking true. Apparently you have to like the arc where the villain is an elderly, failed social media influencer.
what's wrong with having a villain like that thought ? an elderly, failed social media influencer, it's pretty dumb when you put it like that, but it will always be more down to earth and human to me than demon man who wants to kill people because he's evil, and that what i like about it, just my opinion thought
Ah yes, the very elderly *32* *year* old man. And weren't people mostly upset because he used the word "filler" wrong?
Who?
@@op-bv7cs I think he means gentle criminal. He had something to him but holy shit the stakes did not deserve that much time. I couldn't have given less of a shit if the damn play didn't go perfectly, an already drawn out B plot I didn't care about. That arc was basically 2 B plots, and that's being generous, more like 2 C plots.
@@axellecambournac6968 nothing, inherently. I even personally find him likable, and a member of society worth exploring in some way.
It just was a bit bizarre as an off-ramp from Overhaul&Company. In terms of stakes, as Joe Andrew said.
Going from a mixture of fatality and near-fatality(s), to this type of.. “ahh, that’s a bummer that Deku is going to be late for rehearsal”
But I will admit that my characterization of him was overly reductionist. But I’d also have to agree with the idea of it feeling like filler, even if it has merits to stand on.
If he were explored at a different point in the seas of rising and falling action, there’s a good chance I would feel very differently about the impact.
JUJUTSU KAISEN GREATNESS LET'S GOOOOOOO
JJK is the bomb
Our tattoo anime daddy has now seen the greatness
That’s tattoo anime daddy senpai to us, sir. Lol.
Hold on
Gojo is closer themed to Kisuke Urahara than Kakashi.
From style and personality all the way to their chaotic good
Gojo has grey hair and blindfolds is the biggest similarity to Kakashi
But he's a lot closer to Urahara
I think so
Grey hair, blindfolds, cool teacher personality, doesn't obey superiors, overpowered, mysterious eyes and many more. He is too similar.
Glad to know, still hadnt watch the show but Im such a bid fan of kisuke!!
agreed he's a lot more like Kisuke instead
@@pj1016 sounds alot closer to Kisuke Urahara
I can't believe they didn't talk about best girl and boy Toudou 😢
I have rewatched season 1 an embarrassing amount of times.👀🙈 it really is SO perfect!
Can't blame you
Its not tht deep💀
mmm darkness
I cannot overstate just how important Jujutsu Kaisen is for me, as a woman, who's been here just as long and experienced all the same shows. finally a shounen that treats all of its characters equally and with respect. (did you even notice the wobbling watermelon breasts and skirt uplifting in the other anime clips featured in this video? probably not.)
Who cares
Ok this a very late comment but in an interview the author said that he doesn't do ecchi because he is conscious of his parents seeing/reading his series 😂
@@turtleboy1188 she just said her opinion, why does it get u mad?
@@TSP9999 lol, that's just adorable.
@@TSP9999 not anymore, we now have Remi.
My generation's shounen was Bleach and Naruto, and so this well made video content made by someone younger than me makes me feel old.
This show is kind of a spiritual successor to YuYu Hakusho
Feels more like Bleach
It's both
@@LuckyBastard12345 bothuu
Gee, no wonder I am intrigued by this manga for a while
No it isn’t since it’s bad
This anime made me want to binge the manga and catch up from when we had that little hiatus in the middle of this season. So amazing
6:21
The last horror shonen anime I saw was "D.Gray Man" which came out around 2007 if I'm not wrong. It actually was the first anime I ever saw so no wonder I felt somewhat nostalgic watching Jujutsu kaisen.
Fun fact, if I'm not wrong gege is a big d Gray man fan and it was a partial inspiration for jjk
I'll be back once I actually watch Season 1 of JJK, see you in like 2 months
That wild arms theme just hit me like a truck. I have been following you guys for a while and have to say keep it up I love your work.
Anything touched by MAPPA is blessed. They're just showing off at this point. The animation is just delicious.
I'm sososo looking forward to the Shibuya Incident animated.
I’m so glad Mappa is making this show, it’s beautiful
Bahaha loving the fece's cut! I appreciate you all, another amazing video! Thank you!
That whole bit about how JJK feels like it was written by someone who loved the same shonen I did growing up is so on point, couldn't have said it better myself. Having caught up with the manga I'm 100% on board with JJK.
The perfect blend of Naruto, Bleach & Goosebumps!
It would be awesome if you guys made a video like this on Chainsaw Man before part 2 comes out. It’s just as good as Jujutsu Kaisen & shines in a few aspects more than Jujutsu Kaisen (JjK also having aspects that shine in its own right more than Chainsaw Man). Both have spectacular execution in writing & storytelling
Hells paradise needs attention too
That's why i consider chainsaw man and jujutsu kaisen cousin mangas. Their fanbase are almost the same too.
@@rekashum7293 yh and the premise is the same, for both the characters work in a big organization dedicated to fighting demons,both the main characters are fused with a demon/devil and some of the other characters use the power of demons to fight other demons lol
I have read both and I think Chainsaw Man is better. JJK is a amazing anime and great manga but I do not think it is great A quality shounen like One Piece or Hunter X hunter. Chainsaw man and maybe Mob are the closest quality A level shounen media I have seen in the last 10 years.
@@7thebomb I disagree, I personally like jjk more than csm but both are equally amazing. It just depends on preference.
I loved this vid. The interweaving if your own personal experiences with the analysis of the themes and characters gives real depth. You also gave me some new things to think about concerning the series. Thank you for the hard work.
Thank you for doing a spotlight on this incredible piece of work! I got hooked from episode 1 and dived into the manga immediately. It's my favourite ongoing story right now. I grew up watching Bleach and after that finished, I felt something missing in my life. Jujutsu Kaisen has definitely given me something to get hyped for again in my 30's.
Again, great work on the video. They keep getting better and better!
That effect where you made the bleach manga look like it was on display at a new age museum was amazing and thanks for letting me know about this show I will definitely check it out
Jujustsu Kaisen is great. My only complaint is how quickly some character's relationships instantly develop, but i've definitely seen a lot worst in other shonens
Most of them knew each other from the start expect from todo and yuuji that is debatable my freindo
Jesus bigman, the amount of references for clips and music in here deserves 👏👏👏👏. This is my first time to the channel and that wild arms theme music just got me. One of my best childhood memories.
A year ago today I found your vampire hunter d bloodlust video, and since then I’ve been obsessed with the channel. Either covering my favorites or introducing me to other anime I would come to love has been why this channel is my favorite when it comes to anime content. Thank you bonsai pop for sharing the love of punk rock cartoons!
Every damn video gets better and better, and keeps refining that sweet sweet BP style
Love Jujutsu Kaisen. One of the final fights of the season with the 3 curse brothers vs the main characters had me audibly yelling out loud cause it looked so badass. I love the horror aspect,the comedy,and fights,etc. Such a good series. Glad you guys made a video on this. Please do re zero arc 4 next so give re zero a second look, also wonderegg priority please. stoked on dorehedoro too
I’m so glad you like this series! I would be bold enough to say this is the series I’ve been waiting for
amazing video!!!! congrats that was an incredibly through examination and honestly re-contextualized so many different scenes and events in that show, great work!
Please read/ watch parasyte. It's philosophical, raunchy, and the main character has an alien for a hand.
I read that back in 09' and was unimaginably hyped for the anime
Idk about the manga, but the “philosophy” in Parasyte definitely crapped out by the end. Still a great watch, though.
This show is amazing I'm interested in the manga now.
I absolutely adore your work. Thank you for the deep dive into the mangaka and the culture. Proud Patreon here saying hell yeah!!!! Great work my man!
Really Amazing and super in-depth analysis of the manga and show, best I’ve seen so far for sure. The part about the curses and it’s inspiration from real human nature was the best aspect of this video. You’ve definitely gained a new sub !
I’ve yet to give this series a try, I’m always afraid to get into modern Shonen. I couldn’t get into Demon Slayer whatsoever but this looks worth checking out. Thanks for your in depth look. The whole panda thing reminding me of Ranma 🐼
What did you find off-putting about Demon Slayer, I have lost 90% of the ability to relate with people and I am trying to understand peoples preferences.
@@NorthAyase ehh, I'm just not into shonen these days, I need more depth substance and relatability. My introduction to Demon Slayer was the movie, and I just couldn't get into it at all. I'm not a fan of the art style, especially the cold dead pupils of the characters. This is just my personal opinion though as a late 30 something, I'm not by any means saying it's a bad series, I just can't get into it personally
I wasn't gonna watch Jujutsu Kaisen but cause of this video, I'm gonna! This bid has done it's job, thanks Mike!
Your videos are the highlight of my Saturdays! Keep up the good work!
Always love supporting this channel, seems like their interests overlap with my tastes. Fingers crossed for some of my favourites to appear on the channel 🤞
Just wanted to say thanks to you guys. Sometimes it feels like my hobbies and passions are juvenile, but you always know how and what to say to inspire me to be inspired. Thank you so much for being willing to be vulnerable, not just in what you create, but also in telling us how and why you enjoy it. I genuinely look forward to everything you make, and I hope y’all keep doing what you’re doing until you’re tired of doing it. d(‘.’d)
From the very first episode I could tell that JuJutsu Kaisen is a special one and is gonna be the next great Shonen. Season 01 is exceptionally great and I feel certain that it's only going to get better from here :)
I straight up didn't make it to episode 2 the first time i gave JJK a try. Like 3 months later i gave it a second chance and now it's my favourite of all time.
Loved this entire vid! Glad to see another vid
An awesome video! I will definitely start reading this ASAP Much love and respect to all at Bonsai Pop 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank goodness I thought I was the only one who thought jjk was nostaglic in terms of feeling and writing.
Bonsai pop always gets me sold on an anime if I'm not sure if I want to watch an anime bonsai pop insures that I'm interested 💀
Y'all keep making these awesome vids and adding more series to my to-watch list! 😭😭😭 (Keep it up - may the list never end💕)
Once again, an amazing analysis of an anime and manga I gave a second look at and now I am looking up the manga and first episode to get hooked. You sir do wonderful work!
19:16 “...cause Curse gonna Curse, so OF CURSE...!”
Loved it
WAIT
CHILD OF LIGHT OST!
Curse Sealed!
XD
So, due to a mixup in shipping, you made this?
Honestly, with all of the plot twists in the past year, this is actually a welcome one.
Thank you Bonsai Pop your video on Jujutsu Kaisen really stands out and it is because of you specifically that I started to get into Jujutsu Kaisen. I've read the manga and I will eventually watch the anime series in time. So thanks I really appreciate it and keep up ya grind man.
This made my day always happy when you guys drop a new video .So surprised you guys did Kaisen this time tho really enjoyed every minute of this video
Just wanna say that deviant art joke and chadtronic joke was spot on
BP: We have not seen a major shonen series with straight horror influences since Bleach.
Tokyo Ghoul: Am I a joke to you?
the Tokyo ghoul anime doesn't exist, it's was a mass hallucination. The manga, however, is pretty tight.
it's seinen.
Thank you guys so much for your videos!
I find them really entertaining and well writen. :)
Phenomenal observations, thanks! I'll try to set aside some time to indulge in it! Time is our most valuable resource, and you've got good taste, so I trust your assessments.
I think my hero, demon slayer and jujutsu are greats that, for diferent reasons, will shape the shounen genre for a while
Demon slayer had its problems on the later half despite the good. It’s still has it’s generic sides, MHA is all around divided on the community and has a lot more problems, especially now. AOT, JJK, CSM I Believe will truly redefine shounen
Bonsai Pop : honey I'm home 🍯
Yall really hit the nail on the head with this one. Also suuuuuper appreciate the spoiler alerts! Cant wait to see more uploads from Team Bonsai Pop!
your videos are bangers as always. always great to see the cool thumbnails

That sudden Wild Arms whistling hits the feel. Great video, and I really hope JJK inspires more of the same.
Awesome! Happy For a new video! Oh and congrats on the engagement
waiting for s2..
There is also the fact that sorcerers gain new power not through training but personal revelations about themselves and their fighting styles, meaning that combat and character growth serve each other. This allows the action to be able to just keep going and not have to wait for characters to grow up, because the progression of the action is characters growing up. Making Jujustu psychological also shows how people's powers are extensions of their inner selves, especially with how domains work, and yeah. This show is just so good
Thanks for the content!! Watched this video before, during and after watching the anime. On my fourth watch now, while reading the manga. Appreciate the effort you put into each video and looking forward to the next one.
Bonsai Pop killing it, love your videos keep it going!
Imma get hate for this but I don’t really like this anime it doesn’t click yet idk why it’s good but I don’t like it if that makes sense
I get that. Season 2 blew me away. All of season one is just setup. The payoff is the entirety of season 2
The Mangga is amazing and the art is just
always nice seeing you posted
I'm only 1/3 of the way into the vid, but it's so great to hear somebody put into words the feeling I had about JJK up to this point that my friends didn't quite share. I'm an OG Bleach fan, and I had noticed Domain Expansion felt like Bankai to me, like you just wanted to know what every person's was like, you get chills when you hear them say the words... but now I realize it goes beyond that. Obviously there's the curses which are like more realized hollow, they even gain more sentience and become more human-like ala Arrancar. Not only that but there's a Soul Society like group who want the MC dead but will eventually accept him, an Aizen like character who is a Sorcerer but works with curses, ah it all clicks into place!
Jujutsu kaisen ,Chainsawman and Hell's Paradise are the best Shounens to read right now..
Hell’s Paradise?
Please explain
@@Ramsey276one It's a series which just ended in jump plus.. It's pretty similar to Chainsaw Man but better written in some aspects..
@@catseyereflex6774 Thanks
The modern dark 3 of shounen
I guess I'm crazy cause I don't understand the appeal of this show at all, other than some really well-animated action sequences, I watched 15 episodes and could not get into the story or characters at all.
Try reading the manga. the exposition of the anime aint that great making alot of people confused, namely with the power system.
Great works. Keep it up. LOVE you guys!
Another beautiful video ‼️
Does anyone else think this show is overrated? I don’t get why this shows is so special
I just watched Season 1 of Jujustsu Kaisen a couple weeks ago. I wasn't intending to watch it as it appeared to be just another cookie cutter Shonen, but another RUclipsr who is well known in the anime game recommended it and their tastes are often in line with mine so I gave it a shot. It's pretty good, although it doesn't offer a lot that you haven't seen before if you've watched Yu Yu Hakasho, or Bleach. The animation is very well done IMO. I'd rate it a 7/10, not that anyone cares what I think. If you are looking for some rather mindless action, give it a go.
Breathtakingly elegant analysis/&dissection📽👑
Another Fucking banger of a video Mike. JJK has been knocking it out of the park and this is the best breakdown of what makes it so awesome that I’ve seen. Keep up the great content boys!
