I am reaching some kind of breaking point.
So, I been slowly watchin' Jujutsu Kaisen with my partner, and we heard that our friends really didn't like the first half of the season. So we go in expecting it to suck, and get better. But as we're watching it, we both really enjoy Geto's whole arc, the dynamic between him and Gojo, the moment where he's standing in the shower and the running water sounds like the clapping of those cultists, some genuinely good art. So my girlfriend and I keep looking at each other confused, like, "Why did they say this is bad...?"
Then we get to the second half, and it's just... fuckin'... PEAK Dumb Anime Shit. Characters literally just appear out of thin air to have a fight scene, often with nearly no context, then that fight ends and it just goes on to the next near-contextless fight. Need some drama? Well, let's just fuckin' kill off a main character between contextless fight scenes. How's that? Does that make you FEEL THINGS? We killed this character who's had like 3 scenes of development in 2.5 whole seasons! Hahaaa! The episode which begins and ends with a fight between Sukuna and this entity that Fushigoro summons from nowhere with zero context or buildup was so seemingly pointless and random that it made both of us feel like we didn't even want to watch the last handful of remaining episodes.
So anyway to get to my point, I wanted to ask: Is it a commonly held opinion that the second half of the second season is better than the first? Because uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Is there any kind of information about the damage done by this attack yet?
It's amazing how unwelcoming a room with so little in it can be.
Aren't there six chairs, but 8 candles?
What blows my mind the most about Americans gobbling down the anti-China goop being fed to them is the fact that just about every single fucking person I've ever met in America absolutely hates our government, and for one reason or another we all openly agree and joke about what a farce it is. So, why are all these same people so eager to tear down the CPC, just to replace it with the exact same type of system they all fucking hate? I suppose because then the news would stop telling them how bad and wrong China is all the time, and they can just go back to never thinking about it at all.
