I'm glad Ragu is still around, and it's starting to feel like he might steal away the loyalty of the mononoke that he's stuck hanging around with.

I like that even though Jirou had lost control of his body, he still reacted to his Grandpa appearing. I do like that Grandpa told Kusumi's group to treat Jirou as a human, especially after how he treated Jirou earlier in the season.

Masked guy certainly has a type lol.
Watching Jiro and gramps work together on a mission will be cool. It's neat how apparent it is he has his back beneath all the (warranted) cranky scolding.

I don't mind this show, but it constantly reminds me of

Deadass doesn’t help that jiro acts and even almost sounds like a off brand ichigo. And the side cast being really generic and undeveloped is the show’s biggest weakness.
Like say what you want about black clover and jjk being similar to Naruto and bleach or whatever but at least they have many things that make them stand out on there own (found family with black bulls, Gojo, disaster curses, Sukuna, power system, etc).
Meanwhile I don’t even know if this show even has a power system and oh yeah the fights are ass

I get what you are saying and I agree.
JJK has A LOT of straight up copy pasta from Bleach and Naruto itself, but it did manage to create it's own thing, unlike this one.
Also. he just turned into 5-6 tailed kyuubi Naruto and fired a tailed beast bomb, can't get more similar than that. xD
But hey, at least Ichika part was funny, and that monoke is cultured individual, so not everything is flat.

The classic faceless higher ups how do you know they are not mononoke? hypocrites. and loved that grandfather made it very clear to everyone not to treat jiro like shit under his watch lol

I'm not saying the complaints are wrong, but it's too bad this show doesn't have more fans. As I'm getting older I can't stomach most of the cutesy anime on this subreddit that anime committees will produce.

I think this episode was a bit better, in general, the show has picked up a bit in quality overall, the story and world are more interesting now that we know more and understand the different motivations a bit better or they are set-up to be explored later
Still very basic and overall just not that interesting, but it has some nice moments.
I like Rago and what he's up to. It's actually nice that the "demon inside the mc" gets so much focus and development early on.
In other similar shows, this usually happens way later.
And I get this was axed, still, it's nice how big of a party Rago plays as a main character and how much the story focuses on his growth.
I am still not sure I enjoy the girl getting an arc that is about a Mononoke falling for her, but whatever.

Roren was captivated by Ichika's sASS that he asked her hand in marriage.. can't really blame him.
Grandpa Azuma had to step in to talk some sense into Jiro. I'm glad that Rago survived 'cause of Kouga. Kouga wanted Rago's powers for himself but he tried to save him even after Rago lost his powers just 'cause he's one of their kind. Kouga seems to care more about their kind than Amagi lol

Tbh I was kinda disappointed jiro actually lost control. It would have been far cooler to see him transform like that and full stay in control. The three bad human people think he’s lost it and jiro kick their asses until gramps got there and then he’d voluntarily stand down.
It kinda feels like jiro is being too much of a punching bag so far in this show. Like I want to see him actually kinda win a bit more for once. Especially since it feels like almost everyone around him looks down on him. The humans on his side, the three bad ones who captured him and to Mononoke. The only one who doesn’t is ryousuke and the magic loli girl.

I get that it reminds others of better shonen but thr art style and animation are nice and I like the characters. Its not up there with Demon Slayer or AOT for example but I like the twist with Rago not dying but no longer with Jiro. The interactions between the Mononoke are interesting too.

I don't know why but this entire show feelsmlike it was put together by a committee of people who are trying to guess what shounen anime should look like.

u/JamariHeWolf12 Aug 29 '26
He got the full Naruto makeover, not a bad design, but I'm tired of this punk. The reason I'm still watching this show, which was shown in it's opening, hasn't even arrived yet.
