Synopsis

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.

Jujutsu Kaisen takes some of the best elements from old-school shōnen like Naruto and Bleach and refines them into a more polished series. The top-notch animation and the appealing magic world make it a really fun ride.

That said, I sometimes find it hard to connect emotionally with what’s happening. Maybe it’s because the show is so fast-paced that it doesn’t always give you enough time to bond with the characters, or maybe some of them just don’t have enough charm to leave a lasting impression.

Another thing worth mentioning is the way female characters are handled. While they’re treated with more respect compared to other shōnen ...

Mixed Feelings
JJK is so famous at this point that it needs no introduction. Going in I kept watching and watching waiting for awesomeness to hit, there just had to be something about a show so loved.

Answer is yes... and no. The show is a painfully average Shonen with rather bad writing, this is covered over by both the cool factor and grade AAA art & animation.

(no) PLOT = 2/10

This is badly written. The magic system, Oh excuse me jujitsu... no wait wrong series, jujustsu clearly >DON'T SUE< is random. There is no rhyme or reason for the powers and might as well be "quirks" from MHA. ...

Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most popular anime right now. But I don't understand why so many people love it. First of all, it's a copy of Bleach, so if you want to watch something good, watch Bleach and not this series. But let's talk about the characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. If we stay on a superficial level, we might think that they are well developed, but this is not the case. The truth is that everything happens really fast, there is no time to delve into the emotions and feelings of the characters. Lots of events happen, but none of them seem really ...
