2:03 I'm pretty sure Nakaya Onsen actually did a rough for this fight as well if you check sakugabooru. I have no idea what happened to it though between that and the finished product. Was probably scrapped before it could be cleaned up.

this entire story of them being reunited feels like a jjk arc

I love how you actually talk about the staff instead of just saying a name and praise it

Only 2 minutes of listening team members was enough to make me hyped

I like how this video is structured like a 14 minute entrée detailing the journeys of Team Keisuke Seshimo & Team Hakuyu Go, followed by a 4 minute main dish teasing GOSSO's ultimate 18 week long pizza party. And I fucking love it.

Shibyua Arc is so peak, it assembled the Avenegers of Japanese animators, directors, sound designers, and composer, all under one bridge. We are in for a treat fellas.

One more thing that I like about this is how young directors/ animators are focusing on making the episodes cinematic. Not saying previously there weren't but now you see them almost every season. I nearly forgot throughout the video that this was supposed to be a JJK trailer video😂

Damn this aged well after ep 17, which is probably up there for the most stacked Anime KA list of all time.

Mappa going all guns blazing for their flagship show. I don't have any doubt anymore that this would be Anime of the year!! Edit: Recently your videos have started popping off very well. Hope it continues...your content is incredible and you deserve way more success!

I hope the ambitions, love and dedication of all of these artists, shines above any issues once Shibuya airs in full. Godspeed you beautiful production team, deliver onto us a spectacle with all your might.

The video is mostly listing names but seeing these names I'm familiar with and also knowing their works, the hype is a rocket to mars right now.

I think Mappa is lucky to have seshimo and gosso imo.

That animator lineup is literally a dream team 😮‍💨🔥🔥

With all due respect, we need more videos, they are too good.

I recently "joined" anime twitter... probably the worst mistake of my life. I had started to feel so infuriated with the baseless acquisitions regarding a particular show or team, that I felt some people don't deserve the hardwork these animators are putting in. Well, I deleted twitter and am a much happy man now.

So S2 of JJK might end up being the greatest single season of anime ever made. To reunite the dream team behind OPM S1 and then some, is a sakuga lovers wet dream.

We JJK fans are gonna be eating a big ass FEAST

Everything about the teaser was just perfect. So so excited & the fact that basically the Avengers assembled for this is pretty hype.

Dude every video you put out makes me happier that I subbed to you. You have one of the best and most complete channels about Japanese animation. Keep up the good work

Shibuya arc is so important for JJK

Get ready for peak Jujustu! As a manga reader I can safely say everyone is in for a treat. These top tier animators will do the original work justice and only add onto the Shibuya Arc with how they will reimagine the scenes into movement

Bro, your efforts in this video is amazing, and this is why I subscribed.

Honestly I fear what the reception of the season 2 will be . I watched episode 22 of Fate Aporcrypha after you mentioned it , and you were right , genuinely one of the best animated episodes I have ever seen , but then reading the reception of the episode , I was shocked to see most of the comments saying that animation somehow looked bad . Like some of these people are just physically incapable of recognizing good animation .

Keisuke Seshimo: Unlimited Phonebook

YESSS!!!! THE CHANNEL IS BEGINNING TO TAKE OFF IN A SIGNIFICANT WAY!! Really proud of your growth throughout the years; here's hoping you continue to deservingly prosper in both the short and long term

Yess. Finally 5k subs completed. I was right when i said in your community post that 5k subs is just around the corner. Watching your channel grow daily on KZfaq is one of the things that makes me most happy aside from watching your videos of course😅😅😅

While I do see the point of some clips being preanimated and that could be the case. But the Miwa clip you referenced does look like it could be from the last episode (manga reader here) it could very well be in episode 7 since during a certain fight (which will be the first fight in the arc) there is an explanation about simple domains and Miwa is used to explain it. That Miwa clip could just be an overly elaborate exposition scene in episode 7 and not that scene from the end of the arc. The trailer showed clips from the first half of the arc (I’m guessing the first 9 episodes) and since this is a 18 episode Cour it would fit how PVs would show content from the first 5-6 episodes of a 12/13 Cour. Although the Hakuyu Go scenes (like Sukuna and Jogo/lava shots) are pretty far into the arc (like 12 episodes in) and those looks like episodes that are in production. The last Yuji shot did look a bit preanimated to me (the bathroom or background isn’t very detailed and super dark). I heard despite the schedule the production is going fine.

The Goat Manko Kaisen is back

You are one of the most informative youtubers ive ever seen discussing about anime animation and ive gotten hooked on your video style.

I’ll be expecting 3 hour long animation analysis videos once the arc airs

I came thinking that the video would be a breakdown of the trailer. I stayed for the breakdown of a legendary group of animaters works of art over the years. Amazing video!

I don't know a thing about production stuff but this made me more hype for this season

The worst part of the upcoming arc will be the ungrateful mfs when they see something they dont like and complain online

I had decided not to watch the trailer for Shibuya...and here I am watching it for like the 50th time

Making an anime requires so much work and time. I really hope as anime becomes even more popular worldwide these production team will be acknowledged properly.

Wow, insane knowledge about the animators. Still, I don't think those 'new-gen animator directed episodes' was the cause of new gen animators rising to the top. Its a natural consequence of the industry booming so hard, with so many new projects, there was no existing senior staff to go around, so juniors get promoted extremely rapidly. And you get first time directors directing mega-ips. This happens in many booming industries, and is what powers workers to work insanely hard, because the path to promotion is so short. I thought Jujutsu S2 had a very well planned out schedule, because the first 5 episodes are flawless in quality. But it looks like its because Mappa can afford to get the entire industry working on it...

I want you to name one of next JJK videos "Jujutsu Kaisen - THE Animation Avengers"

Genuinely amazing assembly of a team, and I can't wait to see them in action.

I always appreciate your insight my dude. After seeing the shibuya arc trailer - I immediately began waiting for your breakdown/video on it. It blew me away and now knowing the staff list, I'm insanely excited for this shit. Let's hope they were given adequate time to make something special.

15:38 According to a reliable leaker production of jjk is doing better than it was a few month ago

Thinking about all this and the fact arifumi imai will probably be returning for shibuya aswell as new talents like hakuyu go team and the previous jjk s1 team is insane

I was waiting so hard for the trailer analysis but u got something even better.

MankoMan, I have an idea for a game, each season we look at a show and say "will it crash?" and the show which has a large scale production crash first wins.

So glad so many people on twitter recommend your videos, love this bro

We NEED more anitubers with this focus. You're doing great work here, thanks a ton for sharing

Your channel and animation analysis are extremely underrated. Amazing vid 🔥

I gotta say your videos are the only videos on youtube that I watch with my full attention instead of putting it in the background. My horrible attention span somehow disappears when I watch your videos. Thank you

I love your videos dude, you always put me on the newest animators and how they transform into these gods, thank you and thank them for inspiring generations of beautiful work

Excellent video! Charting out the history of these exceptional animators as they gained experience, connections, and ambition gave me an even greater appreciation for their craft. Shibuya is gonna burn the whole house down

11:43 - You meant TNK here, right? Really confused me for a second lol. Regardless, great video as always! A lot of animation analytics tend to keep their content short due to the nature of it not being very accessible to the general audience, so I love the fact that you make long in-depth videos. They're extremely informative, so please keep making them that way :) .

15:09 that’s really good to hear

Your videos are such a joy to watch. When passionate man talks about smt it's always interesting to listen. Also i loved to see more info about names, who worked on what and with who. Thank you for the video!

I love the passion that you have for animation and how you express it with your content. Keep it up brother awesome content, can clearly see you put a lot of work behind 💪❤️

The goat MankoMan back with another video. As always thank you for your efforts

Amazing video man, I feel like KZfaq has been dry lately and you kept me engaged and talked an a topic I enjoyed. I’m now a subscriber

Welp, it’s over, and oh boy the delivery was fucking nuts

Imagine getting an episode with the complete hakuyu go team including og (even all those who became part of seshimo team) and new members with arifumi imai also participating or imagine the biggest hopium of all time being the addition of someone who made it possible in the first place for all these talented youngsters to work on a show. He called all his friends to work on a show and made that show one of the best action masterpiece ever. It's also possible that all these friends now call him together to work on this show. 😅😅😅 (Yes, i'm talking about the one and only shingo natsume). Him directing the episode and everyone from both teams animating on that single episode will make my life complete. That aside, i remember you said redline is the best animated thing ever created and in this video, you said it's camelot movie. Which one is it that you prefer actually😂😂

Just realized but your channel name is actually crazy😂😂

Man, your presentation is so neat. Another Mankoman peak video.

Great video for a small youtuber. This is more informative and interesting than many big channels who post anime news

its great to see all of your videos easily surpasing 10k views. this will definitely be ur most popular video at this rate. jjk is just growing this channel.

Finally 😭 waiting for this vedio. Thank you

Nice! I saw the trailer and was definitely impressed by it but I didn't know this project was THIS stacked. Really happy about that then. Also, I bet the whole Jogo vs. Sukuna sequence will divide the fan base cause just from the shots of that fight in the trailer u can tell they held back on the shading and went with more lose shapes in oder to really get creative with the movement. Also, I think the fact that this arc takes place in Shibuya will help the over all esthetic, it has a lot of lights bouncing around with makes for a really cool atmosphere.

This video is so informative. As a newbie in sakuga community, this video enlightened me a about a lot of things. Thank you for all your efforts man .

Your voice is so peaceful ✨ An amazing video✌️

Why do Indian channels have the most based takes on animation??

This is insane you make me more hyped 😮

Love your videos man, keep up the good work!!

I love your analytical nature of this subject and whats to come hopefully you continue bringing more teachings about more projects to come. Ofc SHibuya is going to be peak fiction

I heard people were hyped for Hakuyu Go team but I didn't knew why exactly. Now I seeing this video I got goosebumps how lucky alignment of stars is this

¡Madre mía! I am so gratefull for your videos. The really make me apreciate everything so much. Please dont overwork yourself.

Very well made video! Very easy to follow and you jump straight to every important note without getting side-tracked!! This was great for my AD-HD brain

Congrats on 5k btw❤️

so basically we should expect something generational? the sukuna action episode seems very ambitious

Great video!! Seems like you're also figuring out youtube algorithm lol You deserve it!

Awasome video. Looking forward to trailer breakdown.

been waiting for u to upload

Another banger from my favorite youtuber

Weilin zhang on jjk would be insane

I love when you describe the history of how animator teams got together, like this video and the Naruto one are super good.

15:16 Already started with literally 2 sec scene of sukuna from the trailer and also with the usual crying "less details=bad" Sadly onsen ain't participating and now I'm having doubt GO will participate (if only the schedule was good man)

I remember seeing the trailer for the first time and i know immediately recognized the team is back! Been a fan of this team since Fate/Apocrypha & One Punch Man. Also i love Tatsuya Yoshihara so much and have been following his work since Black Clover cuz i found out about him from Black clover since he used to be the director of the show. Cant wait for the sakuga fest by this team!

All right you got a new subscriber

Easily one of the best and most knowledgeable channels I've come across regarding anime production and how the industry works. It's not just the actual content but the way the content is presented is fantastic as well. Great work! Could you make a video on MHA's current state of production? Or if a video is asking for too much could you provide your insights? I've been keeping my eye on the staff lists and the general quality of production for the show and it's gone from what was my favourite Shonen adaptation to.. Idk disappointment I guess? Having 6 Episode Directors for a total of 25 episodes for the Sixth Season with Tomo Okubo and Shoji Ikeno directing 6 and 8 episodes *each* by themselves and also storyboarding the majority of the episodes they directed with Kenji Nagasaki and Masahiro Mukai going completely uncredited probably speaks for the ✨incredible✨ production conditions at Studio C don't you think? Jokes and sarcasm aside I'm genuinely looking forward to hear your thoughts on this. Cheers! Edit: Almost forgot to mention Yukina Kosaka and Yutaka Nakamura being credited as *2nd key animators* for the same Season... Yeah. Correct me if I'm wrong but having star animators such as Yutapon and Kosaka do 2nd key animation work just seems... Appalling to me.

using this video as a blueprint on how I will follow "Go Team"'s works thank you!

Love ur vids man.

Goated video manko

Let's goo mankokaisen is back

So that's why Season 2 reminded me so much of Mob Psycho

Mankoman banger, i’m not ready..

Congratulations with 5k on channel

I've been waiting for this video since the trailer dropped

That’s so fascinating! :O

And people said that season 1 had "movie quality animation" and was 10x better, but i always didnt like that art and animation quality from s1, s2 is much better in art and animation consistency than s1

Amazing video as always, I'm curious as to how Hakuyu Go was able to direct one of MHA's most pivotal episode in S1 at the age of 24, I always thought those things were left to senior and more experienced animators, especially back then in 2016

Truly amazing stuff and I honestly can't wait for shibuya. Hey ufotable learned or do this more instead of giving your most popular project to newbie animators.

Man Fate franchise is rlly a celebration to animation as a whole, that's why its my favourite franchise.

Man, I really want an original anime from this team, that would be awesome. It just is unfortunate that I have to read a VN with no official translation, or a manga I’ve already read. Although, I’m happy that people who love the JJK anime and Fate fans are excited

Sad thing that due to contracts there arent also some godlike animators like yutaka nakamura and natoshi shida

Great video. But a thing 15:35 you're saying they can't produce these two shows because they Share big KAs and some ADs? (a similar situation with GOH and JJK while they Shared more staff, even the director). Also it depends on Multiple things. One Animator named amphibi said (for the trailer) that his schedule was workable (he thought it would be much worse cause probably a lot of people are saying the schedule is horrendously bad). Niimura also tweeted after CSM episode 8 that his work with CSM was over but he is busy another Mappa project (episode 5), so we can assume episode 5 was probably in production around December 2022. These are just my guesses at The end, I'm not saying the schedule is good but i pretty much doubt that they producing this Show with this Quality in supposedly AOT part 1 schedule with this Quality (Hidden inventory is already better than s1 while they obviously need to priorities shibuya in this supposedly horrendous schedule).
