Synopsis

A boy fights... for "the right death."

Hardship, regret, shame: the negative feelings that humans feel become Curses that lurk in our everyday lives. The Curses run rampant throughout the world, capable of leading people to terrible misfortune and even death. What's more, the Curses can only be exorcised by another Curse.

Itadori Yuji is a boy with tremendous physical strength, though he lives a completely ordinary high school life. One day, to save a friend who has been attacked by Curses, he eats the finger of the Double-Faced Specter, taking the Curse into his own soul. From then on, he shares one body with the Double-Faced Specter. Guided by the most powerful of sorcerers, Gojou Satoru, Itadori is admitted to the Tokyo Metropolitan Technical High School of Sorcery, an organization that fights the Curses... and thus begins the heroic tale of a boy who became a Curse to exorcise a Curse, a life from which he could never turn back.

Editor's Review
Jujutsu Kaisen

“Jujutsu Kaisen” is a captivating anime series that has managed to carve out a unique space for itself in the crowded landscape of shounen anime. The series, which aired from October 2020 to March 2021, consists of 24 episodes and is based on the manga of the same name.

The story revolves around Yuji Itadori, a high school student with extraordinary physical abilities. His life takes a dramatic turn when he encounters Megumi Fushiguro, a student at Jujutsu College, who introduces him to the world of curses and jujutsu sorcerers.

One of the standout aspects of “Jujutsu Kaisen” is its animation quality. The series is produced by MAPPA, a studio known for its high-quality animation. The action scenes are fluid and dynamic, with a level of detail that truly brings the battles to life.

The series also excels in its character development. Each character has a distinct personality and backstory, which are explored in depth throughout the series. This results in a cast of characters that are relatable and easy to root for.

The supernatural elements of the series are another highlight. The depiction of curses and jujutsu adds a layer of intrigue and suspense to the series. The monsters are grotesque and terrifying, effectively conveying the threat they pose.

However, “Jujutsu Kaisen” is not without its flaws. The comedy in the series, while present, often falls flat and feels unnecessary. Additionally, the series can sometimes rely too heavily on common shounen tropes, which may detract from its originality.

Despite these minor shortcomings, “Jujutsu Kaisen” is a must-watch for any anime fan. It offers a fresh take on the shounen genre, with its unique blend of action, character development, and supernatural elements. Whether you’re a fan of high-stakes battles, complex characters, or supernatural horror, “Jujutsu Kaisen” has something to offer.
