Jujutsu Kaisen

Idly indulging in baseless paranormal activities with the Occult Club, high schooler Yuuji Itadori spends his days at either the clubroom or the hospital, where he visits his bedridden grandfather. However, this leisurely lifestyle soon takes a turn for the strange when he unknowingly encounters a cursed item. Triggering a chain of supernatural occurrences, Yuuji finds himself suddenly thrust into the world of Curses—dreadful beings formed from human malice and negativity—after swallowing the said item, revealed to be a finger belonging to the demon Sukuna Ryoumen, the King of Curses.

Yuuji experiences first-hand the threat these Curses pose to society as he discovers his own newfound powers. Introduced to the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School, he begins to walk down a path from which he cannot return—the path of a Jujutsu sorcerer.

This is show is a BLAST. I can't understate how much I enjoyed this show - the characters, the fights (oh my god, the fights)! It's just fun, fun, fun! Looking back on the early episodes, even in comparison to the greatness that is the Shibuya Incident of Season 2, they're just incredible! There's not a time where I genuinely felt bored watching this show.

The story follows a fairly generic structure, similar to most exorcist series such as Bleach, about a teenage boy exorcising monsters, which in JJK's case are called 'cursed spirits'. I don't think there is anything wrong with this story structure, as ... a lot of series can pull this of brilliantly.

JJK's art style is really fitting for the dark undertones of the series in my opinion. It's enjoyable, the plot is solid, the characters are brilliant and it's just straight GOOD! The first season is on Netflix now if you don't have Crunchyroll, so it's the perfect time to watch it. Give it a try (if you want) 🫵

TL:DR - It's fun, 9/10

Mixed Feelings

It was quite enjoyable to watch. The animations are enough to make me want to appreciate these action-packed moments; it's undeniably cool to watch. The universe is nice, albeit somewhat cliché, although that's not really a problem...

...Except when it's way too much, to the extent that you truly feel a lack of personality during certain episodes. The four main characters are exactly the same as Naruto. Speaking of characters, few are endearing; giving us 2 minutes of background (which are also clichéd to the extreme) isn't enough for me to appreciate their stories. Sukuna is probably the only slightly interesting one; otherwise, they're very flat. ... As for the story, it's overly simplistic and stops evolving halfway through the season. The subsequent episodes fall into a loop of endless and uninteresting fights.

The comedic moments are enjoyable even if they're not always funny. The openings and endings are very well done.

If you're a fanatic of this type of shonen anime, go for it. I'd still place it above your average shonen. Otherwise, move along; you won't miss much.

I dont see what the fuzz is about this show. Average at best, cookie cutter shounen. Suffers from the same issue Kimetsu no Yaiba has, too much effort invested into animation and low effort into character design, world building, etc.

The power system is barely explained upon and some of the powers come straight out of a toddlers mind. Nanami's "Ratio Technique" is idiotic. He can divide anything into "lengths" which are subdivided into a ratio of 7:3, at the separation point there will be a weak point. (?????) The length to be decided by Nanami has no limitations so essentialy he can place the weak ... point wherever, and at that point why have the hassle of having the ratio part added to it?

Your abilities get buffed if you reveal them to your enemy? Nah, hot garbage power system
