It's just, it's such a core, strong dynamic.

I know you haven't read all of the manga.

You've read some of it.

But now that I love this show and these characters in this world so much, I'm thinking, well, do I need to go back and read?

So I wonder what you think of this as an adaptation based on what you've read.

And also just like generally when you watch the anime adaptation of a manga,

do you think you were mentioning often they compress a lot and you're losing a lot in, in translation there.

So do you think I'm missing out?

Should I go back or is this a fairly faithful translation?

And what's your typical approach?

Do you like to read first and then watch, watch first and then read?

And since you brought up JJK, so Firin is super popular.

The manga sold like 35 million copies.

JJK sold like 150 million or something.

You know, it's a phenomenon.

And I just checked out the first couple episodes of the show and then also the fourth episode of the current season, which you had recommended to me because it's an animation showcase episode.

So I was completely lost going from season one to season three.

I have no idea what's happening, but it was pretty impressive.

It was extremely bloody.

I like, you know, the set up, the hook for anyone who hasn't seen Jujutsu Kaisen.
