NGL, the ending is boring, but the opening is very cool, song wise and animation/direction wise.

IMO the OP is a good example of "sakuga" in itself doesn't make for a strong opening. There's plenty of striking composition and fun ideas at work, but it all feels haphazardly thrown into a blender and we're left with the resultant mess on the wall. The mood feels all over the place, and there's little sense of flow in escalation or matching tempo with the song. Kaikai Kitan this aint

Song: ED>OP
Visuals: OP>ED
Definitely not JJK’s strongest showing.
Much like the song, the OP’s visuals were very…discordant? I do feel like it’s an accurate depiction of the arc it covers. Someone on Twitter described it (OP and arc) as “key-jangling,” and I do agree. “Complete nonsense and rules too complex…to really care about following”…much like many of the art references in the OP, I think, in that while visually impressive, it doesn’t seem to hold much meaning.
A very pretty spectacle though, and I did like how Kenjaku peering into the tube was a common motif throughout the opening. That still frame of Sukuna grinning in the mirror could be a great background screen — if I could get a proper damn screenshot!
Jo0ji’s singing reminds me of older rock singers, like Yutaka Ozaki. I do wonder what the significance of the window is for Yuji’s guilt.

Both the OP and ED are weak compared to previous seasons. Pretty disappointing for JJK.

Say what you want about the OP, but I don't understand why anyone would think that the ED isn't the best one yet (or second best)

I don't know what to do... S2 was so bad I decided to not watch S3, but then they brought back Yuuta and he's looking hotter than ever, but then again a lot of these new character look like they're gonna be really annoying...
