Jujutsu Kaisen | Recommendations

“Jujutsu Kaisen” is a “battle anime” that can be considered a royal road in anime based on Japanese shonen manga.
Simply summarized, it is a common composition in which the characters train to defeat their enemies and also work together with their friends to face off against stronger enemies.
However, the animated battle scenes between the hero and his friends, who have unique powers, are particularly spectacular, and even in the scenes depicting daily life between battles, each character is attractively depicted.
In addition, the story develops quickly from the first episode, and one cannot take one’s eyes off the storyline as it progresses one after another.
