| like i said on other threads lol is the director gonna die from overwork "karoshi"? he is also the director of God of High School but hopefully that means that God of High School production is finished already but thats like wishful thinking or so rare when it comes to the anime industry |
| The PV for this looks great and as a fan of the manga, this is making me feel pretty hyped for it. |
| The director is same as GOHS, this summer. The rumor are true, so expect some hit or miss adaption. MAPPA is loaded this year. |

| btw YonkouProductions is right with the leaks again lol what will his haters say now? |
| Both this and God of High School looks slick! Hopefully Seong-Hu Park and MAPPA aren't overworking themselves. The anime is lacking the sketchy art-style of the manga, but it's hard to complain when the animation itself looks quite clean. |
 |
| Low budget with heavy korean quality, even picks out the guy that is good with rough lines that the manga has but it's ruined because of the low quality of the animators. I would sue of I were the mangaka, what a mess. |

| Damn, that looks good! Coming out on October as rumored earlier too, that's fantastic! Hopefully, the Director and Studio MAPPA aren't overdoing themselves here, though. Seeing how this was trending on Twitter for a while following the announcement and all the hype around it, I'm guessing this could turn out to be some watch if the Studio manages to deliver so here's to hoping that'll prevail! |

| This is definitely going to get big. I hope MAPPA won’t mess it up. |
| found some educated guess(?) from a sakuga expert GOH has a different crew but it's also incredibly stacked. The best case would be that GOH staff joins JJK right after they're done. https://twitter.com/Bloodyredstar/status/1262996395449102336 so ye its implied that GOH is nearing completion of its production already so at least GOH will look good all through out then later they gonna pour all the talent to Jujutsu Kaisen to compensate for the poor production schedule i guess so thats good enough since ace animators usually does not need much time to draw things anyway also that YonkouProductions leak a year back Jujutsu Kaisen anime is by Studio MAPPA https://twitter.com/YonkouProd/status/1203278268884930560 |
| netflix jail? big if true https://twitter.com/YonkouProd/status/1262963532758310912 |
| With MAPPA adapting this. I can see GOH is getting only 12 ish eps. But how many eps will Jujutsu Kaisen have... |

| PV looks promising granted my experience with MAPPA on Dororo hopes this is only going to be 1 cour or that it doesn't fall off with regards to it's animation in the second half. Well always game for a new battle shonen. |

there is netflix japan and there is netflix international. it's probably the first, as it was not netflix exclusive and aired in TV time slot not owned by netflix. nothing about international release information has been released yet, but as time slot suggested, netflix is not funding this. |

| It's nice to have more stuff to be excited for this year. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| hope that it'll become very big and popular and Mappa will gain a lot of money and will produce new seasons of Dorohedoro |
| I read a bit of the manga some time ago and found it quite fun, has potential to make an entertaining anime. I like what I see from this PV, hopefully production doesn't fall apart midway through like most of MAPPA's shows. |
