i think mappa just makes things look too polished and pretty, in a bad way. i wont call gege akutami's style ugly per se, but it helps w the vibe. two examples are the manga having a full vertical page, but anime usually adapts that by just panning up, the angles being different somehow change the feeling, too.
YOU'RE KIDDING MEEEEEEEE I'M JUST WATCHING THE EP RIGHT NOW AND INSTEAD OF "MORNING!", THE SUBS IM WATCHING MADE GOJO SAY "BUENOS DÍAS, ALUMNITOS!" NOOOOOO THE "ITOS" SUFIX IS USED IN SPANISH WHEN YOU SHOW AFFECTION FOR YOUR LOVED ONES NOOOOO HE LITERALLY SAID "GOOD MORNING MY DEAR LITTLE STUDENTS"
god i loved nobara so much, and her motivations. she was so cool and refreshing as a female character in a shonen show. could hold her own, had motivations outside the men, and never became a love interest. im so sad. i need a cute little slice of life about Saori, Fumi, and Nobara living in Tokyo. Throw Maki in there too. thats our main cast.
i keep hearing that the jjk fandom at large is, like that, which is so wild to me considering on every single chapter there's a little moment at the end of the author being like "hey! these characters are groomers, grooming is bad, i condemn it irl, please be critical of these characters"
