About Jujutsu Kaisen (TV)

If you are hunting for a new action series, Jujutsu Kaisen (TV) deserves a look (2020). The setup goes like this. The setup: Idly indulging in baseless paranormal activities with the Occult Club, high schooler Yuuji Itadori spends his days at either the clubroom or the hospital, where he visits his bedridden grandfather. However, this leisurely lifestyle soon takes a turn for the peculiar when he unknowingly encounters a cursed item.

Next up: Triggering a chain of supernatural occurrences, Yuuji comes across himself all at once thrust into the realm of Curses—dreadful beings formed from human malice and negativity—after swallowing the said item. Yuuji experiences first-hand the threat these Curses pose to society as he discovers his own newfound abilities. Introduced to the Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical High School, he starts to walk down a path from which he cannot return—the path of a Jujutsu sorcerer.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
