I had an interesting discussion with a friend today so I wanted to do a little scouting for information. I know this is not gonna be accurate scientific inquiry, but I'd love to hear why you watch (or read) jjk. Don't know if I need to say this but please be as honest as you can! Also, if you dropped the show or don't like jjk for any reason there is no need to vote, here I am curious about those who enjoy the anime/manga in some capacity. I  am also interested in hearing your expectations or predictions about the results of the poll, I too have my own, so I find this an interesting topic.

Characters, Character Development, Character Relationships, World, Power System, Fights, literally everything 😁 Never really had anything to do with hype as such as when I first watched it I had no idea that it was popular.

I’m not gonna lie I didn’t like the first season, I don’t know why I watched it all the way through tbh, but for reasons I won’t spoil, that most recent episode had me tripping.

The plot and action. You can't have good fights without good plot. I read because it's entertaining and get me hype every week. Discovering any bit of the lure is satisfying

I don’t know why but I was absolutely amazed when the first episode aired. I was eagerly waiting for new episodes every week and found myself completely hooked.

then the movie came and it was even better than the first season. I was so excited.

and now with season two (which makes my thursday very good) can I say that it became my fave anime :)

it’s nothing world changing but I enjoy it so much. the characters, the plot, the animation and bg music are all so nice.

so I would say it’s simply because I enjoy it and it makes me happy

for Gosso's directorial debut. I dropped the first season once because it lacked on pretty much every aspect but I had to pick it up again the moment it was announced Gosso would take over, and it was worth the effort

When the trailer for season 1 dropped, I thought the plot seemed interesting so I watched. Then I fell in love with the characters as well so I started reading the manga right when season 1 ended and love it even more!

I can’t wait for the anime-only watchers to go through all the emotions that I’ve been through with this story and it’s characters lol

Because I really love the plot and characters. When I enjoy both of those, it basically means I'm glued to the media in question. As such, JJK was my first shounen manga that I read because I am 'afraid' of amount of chapters regular shounen manga have, even if I am a fan of the genre, I avoid the manga. JJK was that good to me that I finally read the source.

Another is that I really love MAPPA anime. There's also really good ost and humor which I enjoy. Nothing yet disappointed me minus some badly translated manga chapters. Plus Gojo....I freaking love Gojo.

My one and only reason is Gojo Satoru.
I checked out the first season because it was so popular, but honestly I didn't like it so much, but i fell in love with Gojo Satoru and here I am, watching the season 2 😂.

JJK is pretty good bro. It has great fights, a good power system, likeable characters a very good story and great animation and music choice. Really love the anime and can't wait for the shibuya incident arc. It really is one best shounen out right now alongside chainsaw man.

It's popular and friends were hyped about both the manga and the anime, so I picked it up. I already forgot what happened.

Because I was in the mood for a supernatural anime and thought of the constant ads I kept seeing for it on Crunchyroll, so I tried it out, and I love the story and all the characters. The animation and beautiful fights are a bonus.

Cause its entertaining. I mean I am not that much into the fights, plot or characters but it's simply fun to watch. I watched season 1 and didn't get bored. The plot, fights and characters were at least good enough to keep me awake.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Because it's likely the best ongoing battle shounen being published right now and it has some fun characters to watch interact. The anime is handling the material pretty well too.

It'd be understandable if you were an edgy teenager, but you're in your mid-twenties so it's just sad. Cool favorites btw.

I started it cause season1 OP2 was great.
Then Hanami was pretty nice.
That's all.

It is waaay more apparent in S2 that the mangaka is female and the target audience is more females than males.
Most guys will watch it for the action, plot and power-fantasy. Most girls will start it for similar reasons then focus more on the husbandos and their interactions, probably. 
There are pretty much no cute girls in this show so that's a minus for many male viewers.
The production quality/overall visuals were also pretty good in S1 as far as I can remember.

The characters are so interesting for such a shonen context. Not that shonen characters arnt interesting but they generally have a archetype you've seen before. But with jujutsu they seem very original in terms of personality and the visuals are amazing.

This will be off the main topic but to answer that:

A real "Did I just assume their gender?" moment. Based on Jujutsu Kaisen's characters and their designs plus the mangaka's image on MAL (which is a self portrait) I though they were female.
Now after a quick search on google, I see that you're technically right. The official data is that their gender is unkown/unconfirmed/secret.
There seems to be much speculation about it.
Based on what I've seen so far, I'll keep assuming that they are female.
Kindly ignore that part in my previous comment though as I was mistaken and not factual.

If you want passionate JJK fans go to Twitter and maybe TikTok. MAL would make you think Jujutsu Kaisen is bad.

All of the above. Animation and soundtrack are fantastic, all the characters are awesome and get time to fight and develop, the gradual building of the plot and world are great. Jujutsu Kaisen is just amazing.

Wow, this votes are great. Simply reflects that we do not care about good story writing or unique characters at all.
