'Jujutsu Kaisen' Season One Review - Shonen at
its Absolute Best
No wonder no one has heard that animation has become so popular lately. Our new nature to the COVID-19 pandemic is usually kept in our homes, which often gives us more time to delve into new media. Also, the 22-minute episodes are easily digestible, and the amount we get through streaming services can bore anyone for a long time. This is not to mention the fact that Latest Animation maintains a consistent release schedule with multiple releases interrupted or delayed. But with such a long show spanning hundreds of stages, the question remains: Which is the best and easiest watch right now? So, watch nothing but Jujutsu Kaisen, a show that has climbed since it was shown and lived around it with superlatives.
Jujutsu Kaisen ("spirit Battle") is a
horror-fiction series. Created by Japanese animation studio MAPPA and directed
by Sanku Park, it is based on the manga of the same name by writer and artist
Gage Academy, which was first published in Shueisha's Weekly Shnen Jump
magazine. The anime debuted with English subtitles in October last year,
followed by an accompanying dub release in November.

This introductory season covers episodes 1-63 of the manga
in a range of 24 levels. This averages over two and a half manga episodes per
episode (except for the first episode, which is often based on the additional
length of the first episode). It makes some nice moves for the story, it
doesn't pull anything off, and manages to better integrate some of the main
scenes from the manga. A scene that adds more depth between Yuji and his pilot
grandfather is a prime example of this. The scene with Grandfather Itadori is
important to Yuji's development, and additional pieces convey the protagonist's
feelings.
Another small variation of the manga makes a big impact
though the opening scene of the show. The manga begins with Yuji's everyday
life in school, while the anime opens with a flash-forward that is not shown
until the second episode, a scene where Yuji introduces himself to his guide.
This creative selection of that Sadoru Kojo right off the bat by MAPPA and
director Sanku Park is very useful because it sets a quirky and mysterious tone
from the beginning, an element that accompanies the series. The changes and
additions made to the animation not only reveal the short scenes in a good way,
but also show the love and understanding of the creators of the raw material
apart from the original scenes.
When the wars end, we learn that things will not be as easy
as Yuji had previously assumed. This progression of a straightforward morality
struggles to aromatize the world she encounters makes her more involved as a
character. It's a tough period for the genre's regular protagonist who is his
surroundings and not his own issues that he really struggles with.
Aesthetically, the world we see is more like an urban
fantasy, like Tide Kubo's Bleach. Always wearing its inspiration on its sleeve,
Jujutsu Kaisen draws a line from both the aforementioned Bleach and Masahi
Kishimoto's Naruto, which was popular animation (and pre-manga) from the
mid-2000s and early 2010s. Modern in presentation and storytelling, it respects
what came before, so it carries the torch like a jujutsu kaisen.
