I'm actually quite surprised how much I enjoyed this. I even like the main character's personality. Huh. Maybe I'm just in the mood for pure shounen again. It's been a while.

I don't understand how our protagonist is OP being a normal human (I mean before he had his powers). He practically came from the window and saved his friends.

They say that the series became popular because of the following episodes, not the first.
All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.

I'm completely new to this series as I don't know anything about it's manga nor I've read it's synopsis.

I just jumped right into it!!

And tbh, It was a great first episode. The Animation seems really good and the soundtrack was amazing.

The plot also seems interesting!!

I don't know why but I felt it somewhat similar to Bleach.

Anyways, It's pretty interesting and I'm looking forward to what's next!

I enjoyed this episode a lot. I haven't read the manga so I don't know whether it is better or not. Nonetheless, I do enjoy this genre so I'm really interested in this. I'm excited to see what the next episode is going to be.

decent episode, predictable that the grandpa was going to die when he started talking about helping people as his last words. ik someone said it's explained later why he didn't seem to be too emotional about his grandpa's death so i'll be waiting for that :)

also, swallowing a haunted finger and becoming possessed - pretty creative lool. unsurprisingly, the human can control whatever demon is inside him even though he doesn't have any powers. i haven't read the manga but it seems like a lot of people have??

animation wise, okay but nothing special. character designs are a bit iffy but okay in general.

edit: forgot to mention this but the entry through the window was def my favourite part, that was amazing :')

That was fun. Immediate reaction: reminiscent of Bleach first episode in a way. Caught between "nostalgic" and "eh, seen it". But will set aside my judgements and watch how the story unravels and characters develop, because that's where the real magic happens.

Haven't read the manga, so no point of ref for the art, character dev, etc. Will check it out after this season wraps up, just to avoid spoilers.

Enjoyed the goofy moments throughout the episode, that was a pleasant surprise.

Handsome fellows abound, yes and please and thank you.

Nice animation sequences: Fushiguro running through the halls was a lovely one. Great cam angle and movement; animated blur; the rotoscoping of his run up the stairs didn't feel ham-fisted.

Overall, looking forward to getting into the next episodes.

Great start! Gorgeous animation and I actually like the character designs. The characterization was done well. No unique type characters but I felt like o got to know everyone quickly. That went a long ah in connecting with the story. Looking forward to more.

A fusion of Noragami and Bleach, except it kinda sucks. Here's a whirlwind of opinions I had on the first episode.

For a story and world so basic and mediocre, the show failed to nail a basic introduction.
Overall, it's a disorganized episode with a lot of unanswered questions. Had numerous moments that felt out of place because ideas were all over the place. When and why did Itadari take the cursed finger? Also, if schools used cursed objects to protect their students, does that mean the ordinary are aware of cursed objects? But the anime clearly established that ordinary people weren't aware of "spiritual beings" and "spiritual activity".

Transition from one scene to another felt choppy, and the humor was, for a lack of a better term, off.

When the grandpa died, the moment was silent and without sentimental orchestra, which I appreciate because grandpa's death and farewell words felt undercooked and meaningless without proper backstory of the grandpa and Itadori's character. But the decision to make the moment as unexpected as it was makes me wonder what its purpose was. I can only guess that it ties with Itadori's lack of fear/monologue about death, but even that whole segment was confusing.

The anime's only redeeming quality is its great animation, which is to be expected from MAPPA.

Talk about being impressive. Yuuji beats world records for fun. And now he is even more impressive after eating the cursed finger. To be honest, it looks unbelievably disgusting. I wonder how Yuuji ate that so comfortably. I think I would've vomitted at least a hundred times after eating that.

Anyways, a pretty decent first episode. The animation is really great. Our protagonist Yuuji seems to be quite overpowered, but has a very likeable personality. Satoru is yet to make a proper appearance, though. He only appeared for a minute in the beginning. I'm quite excited for him.

The opening is pretty good, but definitely nowhere near as good as the ending, though, which hasn't come yet.

This is probably the most generic show in years but it has boring slapstick comedy so of course MAL loves this shit.

Even the animation is pretty trash.

Maybe everyone is trying to troll me with this because I see a lot of praise for this show even though its literally nothing special.

Character deisgns are still awful, but yknow.... thats what MAPPA is known for.

Aside from that, pretty entertaining and as ive heard they will be doing 2 cour i wonder if they will stop at the festival arc or the obedience arc.

As for the episode itself, the action was solid, and they added some flair to the atmosphere.

hmm ok i'll give it that. Pretty interesting start. The plot of curses and exorcisms seem pretty good, as well as the art and design of the curse creatures hit the horror/supernatural aesthetic pretty well on the head. Mc seems decent as well.

Rn just confused on, was something going on with Itadori beforehand? Like he already seemed super human enough? Or is that just the usual Shounen plot points? Eh either way it dosen't bother me to much, the "one in a million chance" of the worst thing to happen, actually happening was good. Interested to watch the rest of this.

Quite a decent first ep, introduction to the MC, his friends and some personal motivation by his late grandfather followed by some action battling a curse. Pretty enjoyable so far, hopefully it'll get even better.

Could've sworn I was watching Bleach here.

High school boy meets some random person and learns about monsters that have been causing the deaths of humans which cannot be seen by the naked eye. Random person almost gets killed protecting high school boy and high school boy swears to return the favor and gets a powerup in the process ultimately defeating the monster.

High school boy = Ichigo
Random person = Rukia
Monsters = Hollows

High school boy being some chill guy who lost someone dear to him like Ichigo. And by the looks of the opening scene, seems like high school boy's been set up for execution for breaking a "rule." Although that role was Rukia's instead of Ichigo lol. Gojou being Byakuya (ToT)

God, I could go on lmao.

Good first episode, rip grandpa though, died in a sad way though at least he had Yuji with him. But man, if only he would have listened to what his grandpa had to say about his parents. I hate that double eye thing so much. It's disgusting.

Yo wassup I’m a little late to the party but I’m joining the jujutsu kaisen hype train, finally! Mostly have Charlie’s moist meter to thank for that, thought this was just some mediocre shounen but his review, and all the acclaim it’s been getting has changed my mind! And so far this first episode is good proof of how good it is. Right off the bat, for me at least, it seems this is the series that mappa has been having fun with. Seems like they poured their heart and soul into this and whatever was left they gave to attack on titan. That’s just how I see it though, please don’t attack me! I’m just really loving this animation!

Glad I started in time to be able to enjoy the finale of this season with everyone else as it airs in a few weeks. Probably going to catch up within the next couple days depending on how fun I find this series!

It was pretty good, it has interesting and intriguing characters that I am very excited to learn and see the characters develop. Grandpa's death was unexpected (I truly thought he was going to die a little later in the season, not the first episode) but nonetheless it was still a great way to start an anime. Overall I gave this episode a 4/5 rating
