After Rain

I think I'm finally starting to enjoy this show. I gave up on it after episode five because it was annoying me that it made no sense and was filled with stupid humour. Since then I decided to give it another go because I saw it on so many best anime of the year lists.

I still don't really understand the show. I wonder if it will ever make sense? It is easy to enjoy it visually, though, if you just turn your brain off and don't ask questions, like why is a giant panda swinging a girl around, and why did everybody suddenly burst into flames in that café. Was it because the monster thing had fire coming out of his head?

In this episode, the pink haired protagonist Yuuji begins dead and without a heart, and he's in some netherrealm talking to Sukuna, the tattooed person who shares his body. He resurrects, appearing naked, and then is made to watch a pile of DVDs while a small living doll with boxing gloves tries to biff him.

It makes about as much sense as it sounds, but whatever, I enjoyed watching it.

This was a great episode that elaborated on the relationship between Yuji and Sukuna as well as the concepts of cursed energy!

The scenes in Sukana's realm was great both in terms of story and animation! I really enjoyed their conversation as it gave a great insight into their relationship and Yuji's character!

This episode also gives us more information on Gojo's goals and ideals as well as the concept of cursed energy and how a Jujutsu Sorcerer can use it! This will be important later on in terms of fighting!

We also get a dark, crispy scene with the villains with the introduction to a certain important artifact!
