It's in my top 10 and Killua is definitely avatar worthy but man... there's some parts of HxH that I definitely don't like lol

Hate to say it, but there is no episode this week either. It was a two week break.

LMAO oh wow! I had no idea. I was so excited for more JJK
Lol I'm the OP of this dang anime and I didn't even know that
Good question. I got no idea. Maybe the anime will adapt it or something. Or you anime only or are you reading JJK?
Tomorrow it's a special episode that comes out, at least in japan. The "real" next episode comes out on the 15th!

I hope the special episode is something cool. Speaking of which.... is there anything ya'll wanna see added to the OP? I know there's other important characters like the other students and Nanami and I gotta add those.
I started out with the anime, but I'm (almost) caught up to the manga.
Definitely worth it. They might also add the chapters to the vault, but who knows when.
According to wikipedia it's a "new years special episode" 🤷♂️
Nanami sounds like he'd be a real buzzkill at a New Year's Eve party.
"These drinks are shit!"
The next episode is a filler/recap??
Existence is pain
At least the animation continues to be *chef kiss*
God this anime is so damn good. Anime of the season at the very least.

That scene where Yuji stops forceful, hotblooded moralizing the moment he infers that Junpei is dealing with a trauma and instead apologizes for his one-sidedness and lets Junpei vent is the one that made me appreciate the character. That is the kind of thoughtfulness that goes a tad beyond the base archetype of the kind-hearted shonen hero for me.
In fact, this whole arc, with it subversion of certain expectations and its handling of bullying took my appreciation a tiny notch beyond "yeah this a shonen-ass shonen, but pretty well made and fun one".

That moment stood out to me as well. I wasn't immediately endeared to Yuuji but the entire Mahito arc really made me like him a lot. You really don't see many shonen heroes stop their hot blooded monologue and actually state they were talking to much shit instead of listening. Yuuji wasn't even in the wrong about calling out Junpei's bullshit reasoning which made him stopping to try and keep him all the stronger a moment.
The thing about Yuji is that as the series continues on his beliefs get tested.
It's reason why I like characters like him and Tanjiro. They have an endearing and appreciative side.

Someone leaked both the opening and ending on Twitter
I like the song and visuals but I wish the OP had a little more energy
Ahh that explains it. I was wondering how some random account had those clips.
I like the conceit with it being a phone video in the ED but tbh I don't like either of them as much as the current ones.
Also, TOMORROW
I like the new ending more than I do the old one because the former actually fits more thematically with JJK than Lost Paradise. Lost Paradise felt out of place tbh especially the last half of the first cour.
To me Co shu nie fits so much better with JJK.

Gojo being stylish as fuck seems pretty on point if you ask me.

Definitely deserves the #1 spot, had an absolute blast watching every episode.
I'm pleasantly surprised Great Pretender is #2 though, I thought it was almost anonymous and very underrated so I'm happy to see it get this recognition! Another amazing and very original anime.

Forreal, the animation is gorgeous (even if I don't like the song nearly as much)
New ep is great btw. Yuuji rejoining was genuinely hilarious
E: and done. Great ep, glad the show's back.

OP is fine.
ED almost blew my ears out, the singer can't do highs AquaWateria
EP was a good setup ep and the omake at the end was funny. Can't wait for this to go into full swing.

RIP Lost in Paradise. What a year for EDs 2020 was, Shout Baby and Lost in Paradise are both god tier.
I'm guessing the manga is similar but I do enjoy how brisk the pacing of this show is. Felt like we covered a lot of ground in this episode from a rather unexpected cutesy creepy hotsprings segment with the curses to Gojo continuing to be an absolute manchild. I still can't believe Yuuji went along with his plan.
Oh and does OPP mean something different to the Japanese or is that reference exactly what I think it is?

So, the post credits says it stands for: Ocean Pacific Peace
A quick google search on that shows it's the catchphrase of a comedian, and it's the name of a beer.
The new OP and ED are both really boring tbh. Can we go back to the first cour's
The whole episode was set-up for the good stuff, so I don't have much else to say. The comedy was on point, though.
IIRC when I read the manga, the translator notes mentioned that the OPP thing was some kind of dated Japanese pop culture reference, the intent of the scene was that Itadori makes his big return while yelling something that comes off as cringey, I think. Not sure what the official localization went with though.

It was fine until it wasn't rofl. That's what I get for having my volume on max.
I just finished watching the episode and thought Yuuji was referencing Kojima Yoshio, a Japanese "Talent" (comedian/TV celeb) who was famous like a decade ago. "OPP" is more like "OH PAPI," but it doesn't really have a meaning from what I remember. It's just a silly exclamation he inserts at the end of his jokes.
You can hear it at about the 00:58 mark
