Keep your hands off eizouken tv tropes series#

Assault Lily seems redundant following franchises including Madoka Magica, Yuki Yuuna, Symphogear, and Vividred Operation. So giving the show excess credit this early feels premature.Īssault Lily: Bouquet and Princess Connect! Re:Dive are both bishoujo magical action shows that outwardly seem to warrant summary dismissal. But as a linear story thereâ€™s not much to it yet. The show is excellent in components or when considered as individual scenes. None of its initially introduced plot points are resolved. As far in as episode 12 the show is still introducing prominent new characters. But with only 13 episodes in its initial broadcast, Jujutsu Kaisen feels as if itâ€™s only just getting started.

Particularly exhibited in episodes 5, 7, and 12, the animation quality from MAPPA is often exceptional. But Jujutsu Kaisen simply feels more contemporary and slightly less beholden to obligatory tropes than Ushio to Tora. Somewhat comparable to Ushio to Tora, Jujutsu Kaisen has a prominent, palpable horror atmosphere offset by slapstick comedy. The show utilizes the trope of the high school setting and highly idiosyncratic adolescent exorcists, a setting borrowed from anime including Bleach, Sousei no Onmyouji, Yakusai Kocho, Karula Mau, Onikirimaru, Gensei Shugoshin Pi-hyoro Ikka, and Kujaku-Oh, combined with the Grand Guignol grotesque monster design and explicit gore reminiscent of 1987â€™s Battle Royal High School OVA. Especially in light of its hyperkinetic first episode, Jujutsu Kaisen feels like a hybrid of Bleach and Battle Royal High School. Supernatural shounen action anime fans have been amply rewarded in back-to-back years with the premieres of Kimetsu no Yaiba in 2019 and Jujutsu Kaisen in 2020. Several titles barely fell short of my best of year picks.

Iâ€™ve observed Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, Smile Down the Runway, Akudama Drive, Moriarty the Patriot, and Somali and the Forest Spirit as the best new anime series premieres of 2020, but recognizing just five titles doesnâ€™t do justice to all of the unique, creative, and interesting new titles that debuted in 2020.
