What are your thoughts on this episode?

if Tamiya doesn't get some screentime soon i WILL riot

Tenza though... what a lad, with just his bare hands he managed to shatter that thing's head several times

Shion seems like a very cool character as well, hoping we get to see him and Nurugai get some revenge for Tenza

I loved how they added stuff to Tenza's backstory and gave him more screentime than what we have in the manga, and also more Eizen screentime (not that much tho, but it served it's porpose to show that he's somehow very wise)

I cried again in his death ngl, it was a great episode and I hope that it gets better and better like the manga and Mappa starts improving the animation quality from here on forward 'cause it only gets better

  why oh why did he have to die!!! nooooooooooo i really liked the chemistry between him and nuragai... AAAAAAAAA
  Bredf34 2y
  I felt this way 3 times already... Even not lasting a lot, he's one of the best characters in this series.

What to say other than "sadness" has taken me by surprise, it is usually the master who dies and not the pupil. Poor Tenza he was really great. These deities just seem invincible. Now poor Nurugai she is left alone and I cry as the cherry petal blossoms fall…

My opinion on the episode:
Last weeks episode was really good as well, but to my surprise I ended up finding myself even more immersed than I was 7 days ago - and I think that says a lot.

I really like the characters this episode focused on and honestly out of all the bonds we've seen so far, I think this trio is my favorite (the whole triangle and all it's dynamics).

Tenza's and Shion's motivations I also found really relatable and pure. Man I really hope Tenza lives, I want to see all these 3 more.

One minuscule negative that stuck out to me was at around ~22:00 minutes when Shion escaped with Nurugai... he puts her down and she cries and pounds on his shoulder out of frustration as she's absolutely miserable (understandably so having just lost her [insert fitting relationship status here]).
Although the voice acting was more than well done, I think that scene suffered because of the animation a little bit.
I mean maybe I'm just picky, but that broke immersion for me for a second.

All in all this show is still absolutely more than worth it, hope they keep up the quality of these last two episodes. Really good stuff.

  Bro how can u comment exactly what i'm thinking every single time ???
  I thought the exact same thing at Nurugai's scene.
  Zaphyr 2y
  LMAO no way!
  
  I'm gonna keep writing then, glad it resonates with someone:D
- ArcherSln 2y
  Yeah the animation wasn't it so it didn't really have much impact for me compared to the manga
  ArcherSln 2y
  That's probably the reason they delaying the episode too due to production issues.
  Zaphyr 2y
  I was thinking about your comment and wanted to ask: Is it common for studios to still be working on later episodes of a season when it starts airing? I mean it would make sense if it's like still months away, I was just living in the illusion that everything is fine and dandy already.
Verkano 2y
a decent manga dragged down by bland and inconsistent animation
i hope you guys can enjoy it more then me
- Senshi00 2y
  This 100%, very disappointing animation. But for some people, reality is hard to accept, and they will praise this anime anyway.
  Orfeas 2y
  Yeah because animation isn't the only factor you take in when rating an anime, it's also the characters, writing, script, story, plot, theme, picture, camera work and many more. And on top of all that even if the animation isn't on the same level as some of Mappa's other works (like Jujutsu Kaisen) it's still very solid and way better than what we could hope for considering the budget of Jigokuraku, the work quality in Mappa and obviously the incredibly good art the manga has that is extremely hard to properly turn to animation.
  Kaito67 2y
  a lot people are way too drunk on sakuga to forget that sakuga isn't the standard and shouldn't be. There is more to a show than just pure animation and Jigo is a solid adaptation overall if you can ignore a lack of polish which you can ignore unless you're deliberately nitpicking
- xMaxwell 2y
  The animation when Nurugai screamed at Shion lmao
giaa16 2y
I think this was a really strong episode. I haven't read the manga, so I can't compare. I enjoyed getting to know Tenza, and I'm sad how the episode ended.
EmperorRambunctious 2y
Ngl, I vastly prefer giving more runtime to side characters to our main cast, cause I find them more interesting and engaging to watch. Probably the most I have enjoyed in this show thus far
Kszys 2y
biggest mappa animation fell off
Fluskar 2y
MAPPA is lowkey doing this series dirty man, the overall adaptation is solid and follows the source material but the animation feels very inconsistent at times. Like Nurugai crying about Tenza's death looked really odd.
Wakashimazu 2y
I understand the anime rhythm but this ep was awkward.
Its cool we know more for char's background but idk, this time was a feeling like so slow and half empty.

I liked the background story but this ep the storytelling was no good.
Haeopsjis 2y
Tenza is my favorite character
- Ostiax 2y
  he was for me too
Ostiax 2y
the best character is best, i will have to drop now i guess....
ratneighbors 2y
there were a few scenes where the animation was noticably off for JUST a bit only i think overall its pretty guud essp gabimaru's fire i think that's animated rly well!!

more thoughts on the ep: https://anilist.co/activity/566548801

overall tho i honestly am jus really luving the series!!!!!!!!!!!! like im actually watching the new eps as they come out which i dont normally do,, im also genuinely considering just reading the manga only i rly like the voice acting/soundtrack so ill try to remain vigilant and wait at least for the 1st season of the anime to release and THEN ill go read the manga :) onlyyyyyyyy yes! im v excited to see what happens next :))
BerriUwU 2y
When they went into Tenza's backstory, I had a feeling something was going to happen. I enjoyed him a lot as a character and his VA did really good job.

Explanation on Staff Count

That was an emotionally strong episode, although I didn’t cry. But I like the idea that anyone has potential, and there’s a bittersweetness in Tenza carrying on Shion’s beliefs and sacrificing himself for others while wondering what he could’ve been himself. Poor Shion, though. Another student dies before his eyes, although the circumstances are different this time. Shion hasn’t failed Tenza, it’s the opposite. Still, it’s sad. Overall it’s interesting how much the cast has shrunken down by now.
