They
have amazing choreography, but the way
they play out is fairly typical and predictable. Most of them are won with the good guy losing, then remembering
something out of nowhere that gives him resolve, and then using some fancy looking special effect that makes him win in a second. No amount of pretty colors can hide that simple fact. Then there is a
power system, a staple of most shonen, and despite being simple like every other element, they somehow managed to mess it up. It starts by telling you the only way to kill a demon is to decapitate him with a special sword. Then it proceeds to have demons that don’t die when you decapitate them, or that die with ways other than just decapitation. It takes real talent for managing to screw up something so simple. And that brings us back to the actual main problem of the show. The only good thing about it is the cool animation, and even that could have been used better in a much more complex or nuanced show. There are lots of interesting themes, the atmosphere can be gripping, and the violence can get fairly graphical at several points. But because the characters have the complexity of the Smurfs, all that feel wasted because they are used in a by the numbers shonen that has nothing to offer beyond the barebones of a typical action adventure.

In late 2010, JoJo made cameo appearances in music videos for
Keri Hilson and Clinton Sparks. [49][50] In January 2011, JoJo was cast in an episode of CBS's Hawaii Five-0. [51] In February 2011, JoJo announced that she had changed the title of her third studio album from All I Want Is Everything to Jumping Trains. [52] She also announced that her upcoming single would be titled "The Other Chick" and that a music video for the
song was in production. [53] However, neither the video or single were officially released, with JoJo citing that both her and her label had a desire to move forward with a promotional push for a different song, following her recording of new material. [54][55] In June 2011, she released a re-interpretation of rapper Drake's song "Marvin's Room", renamed "Marvin's Room (Can't Do Better)" through Rap-Up's YouTube channel. Drake himself expressed his appreciation for her interpretation. [56] On August 29, 2011, "Disaster" was released to U. S. radio. The song saw her continue in a similar style to her previous hits, which was praised by critics for not "jumping on the synthpop bandwagon",[57] but also criticized for not showing much progression after a five-year hiatus.
