Anime Spotlight - Jujutsu Kaisen
Is this not anime perfection, one of the most perfect series I've seen in a while that does exactly what I love and want in a shounen.
The plot follows Yuji Itadori is an unnaturally fit high school student living in Sendai with his grandfather. He regularly avoids the track team due to the time commitment required for it, despite his innate talent for the sport. Instead, he chooses to join the Occult Research Club; due to the freedom it allows him in attending, he goes to visit his dying grandfather in the hospital every day. On his deathbed, his grandfather instills two powerful messages within Yuji: "always help people" and "die surrounded by people". These two ideas seemingly stem from his grandfather's own regrets. After his grandfather's death, Yuji interprets these messages as one statement: everyone deserves "a proper death". He is then confronted by Megumi Fushiguro, a sorcerer who informs him of a high-grade cursed charm talisman at his school that Yuji recently made contact with. His friends at the Occult Club unsealed the talisman, a rotting finger, which attracted Curses to the school, creatures that are brought about through negative emotions and are strengthened by consuming magical powers present in sorcerers or such charms. Unable to defeat the Curses due to his lack of magical powers, Yuji swallows the finger to protect Megumi and his friends and becomes the host of Ryomen Sukuna, a powerful Curse. Due to Sukuna's evil nature, all sorcerers are required to exorcise him (and by extension, Yuji) immediately. However, despite being possessed, Yuji is still able to retain control over his body for the most part. Seeing this, Satoru Gojo, Megumi's teacher, decides to take him to the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School to propose a plan to his superiors: postpone Yuji's death sentence until he consumes all of Sukuna's fingers, allowing them to kill Sukuna once and for all.
I adore everything here, from the lore and mythology of the series to its gorgeous character designs, epic battles, wonderful action and animation. Its dark and gritty but also has its humor and hope. Not afraid to go dark when it needs to but also has characters really rise to the situations there in. I love youkai and supernatural based anime so this was an instant hit for me.
I adore the characters the main 3 are just so good, Megumi being my fav but also all the other characters are so intriguing and the villains are so cool and compelling. The action is superb and I love its animation and stylistic choices. I just want more already, more of everything its offering and I love this series so much!
