Eve got noticed by the big guys!

Eve keep getting love calls from bigger and bigger anime studios and that's pretty dope! This time it's for anime "Jujutsu Kaisen". Looking at the first episode it's a fast-paced shounen revolving around Japanese spooky curse mythology. I'll watch some more episodes, but idk if I'll continue. 

The 1st episode is basically speed run to quickly get the ball rolling. Everything happened so fast there was no time to get attached to characters. I didn't give a fuck about the main hero's grandpa dying, tbh. I've found the unfunny jokes to be outdated and a bit lame. Some stock sound effects like from Cinema Sins' YT channel harmed the immersiveness. On the plus side though, the fight scene looked great and the hip-hoppy OST at the 1st monster encounter was cool. 

Now to the song itself - it's serviceable, but not the greatest Eve track. I thought it had pleasant guitar riffs, which is given for E ve, exotic Japanese instrument bits in the beginning and at the end perfectly matching with the water visuals, and decent pre- & chorus, but awkward low-energy one-note verses.

+ Get that MAPPA moolah + clout

-  Meh song
