Noted

there are some mistakes I made in this video

-Maki is not in the video, and but I put it in the thumbnail
-Inumaki and Utahime s1 & s2 were accidentally swapped
-Gakuganji both are from season 1

I hope you still enjoy this video and thank you for watching

Now compare conditions of mappa workers in both seasons 💀

S1 art style was peak, but the animation in s2 is on another level

[Vivek-wyji]

The main problem i had with the S1 were the colour choices than the designs itself, i hated those reflection on the clothes, thankfully S2 corrected that

[GERPITO]

Season 2 feels more serious, while season 1 is more of a "typical" anime art style

[YureiMyBeloved]

At least megumi doesnt look like a sea urchin no more

[RobClouds]

Season 1 has more polished and detailed renders on the characters which looks great, but season 2 did a great job simplifying them so that they could be more animated and better composited into the backgrounds which was very important since s2 was so action focused.

[TheMenace]

They basically made everyone hop on a mewing streak for season 2

[micdrop]

Don't underestimate the value of the season 1, it is truly great and I re-watched Jujutsu for it. 😢

[TristerJ]

Is it just me, or they made Sukuna look more like a chad in S2 💀

[tomimn]

Megumi getting a haircut is the best thing that happens in S2.
Boy desperately needed it.
He looks goofy af in S1.

[DailyMemesA-Z]

Is it only me or does Sukuna look more menacing and god-like in S2 than S1?

[LegoCrafterStudiosAnimation]

I think they suite their seasons nicely. For Shibuya, the less shaded and desaturated design makes it feel more raw and real when blood is drawn. The original has stronger lighting, but I think both seasons make the most of both styles.

[JOshua_custodJO]

S2 art style is nice but it has a very "im an underpaid overworked animator and i have to make things a bit more simple so i can sleep for 3h"

[junkieguy]

Gojo looks gorgeous in s1, while in s2 just handsome

[Replied_ByMeatrder]

Love the designs in season 2. These mappa animators are just 🔥🔥🔥💯

[notori-diet]

It became less shiny at more movie like

[emubeatbox]

They looked way more glossy in season 1

[THEdudeproductions]

S1 looked very vibrant. And it was more detailed with the art. That's probably some of the stuff I miss from S1. I mostly like the less glossy look to the uniforms in S2, and the overall designs for characters like Yuji, Megumi, and Choso look closer to their manga counterparts. The shading being simplified makes it animation friendly. The art *design* for the characters is the same, its really just the amount of shading that they use now

[justhumanthings]

Season 1 had better lighting and looked like it was animated on a computer. Season 2 has little to no lighting and has darker tones, with a look that makes it seem like it was drawn on paper. Lemme know which one you guys like better.
