"Searching For Someone To Blame Is Such A Pain." -Satoru Gojo

Jujutsu Kaisen was one of the most hyped animes of 2020. I had expected a lot from it but sadly, I'm disappointed.

Firstly, the story is a typical shounen and the MC is a high schooler. As we've always known there's at least one goofy guy in shounen animes and in this anime, our MC Itadori Yujii players the role and he plays it well ngl. But that's about all for him which is going in the right direction. He ends to swallowing a first-grade cursed ... item to save a jujutsu sorcerer from getting killed! WHAT?!

In the anime, Itadori is rarely seen training and in a fight with Toudou, he gets a first-grade attack down on the first try. WHAT AGAIN? IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT? WITHOUT TRAINING? As if that was not enough, he goes around knocking down first-grade curses like they're nothing and in the last episode, he's seen being recommended to be promoted to a first-grade jujutsu sorcerer. Talk about being overpowered seeesh!

The plot is no good either. There are massive plot holes because of which I didn't quite enjoy watching the show as much as I thought I would. Many things were left unexplained. There's no explanation behind Itadori's super strength and speed. But let's just say he was born that way.

It was mentioned that being a vessel of a curse such as Sukuna is extremely rare but it has not been explained why Itadori is compatible with Sukuna. Because it is a rare occurrence, all the more reasons it should be backed up by explanations.

Episode 13:
How did Mihito end up in Sukuna's "mind" or whatever that's called after Itadori broke into Mihito's domain expansion when Itadori himself did not use domain expansion nor did he swap with Sukuna?
Without this, Nanami would be dead. Plot armor?
These are just a few of many problems with the plot.

The characters are all well crafted and individualistic. They all have a story to tell. It's refreshing how they all, in the same situation, take things differently and handle them differently.

The animation is top-notch. I'm all for Satoru Gojo's sexy eyes uwu.

I have seen people talk about how good this manhaw is and so I decided to give it a go but I absolutely didn't like it.

------- THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM THIS POINT ON -------

There are so many issues to address. First of all, can we take a moment to talk about how Mookyul didn't bat an eye sleeping with his "father" and tries to justify it by saying, "Oh! But he saved me. How can I leave him? So I'll sleep with him instead". It was sickning.

Ewon is no saint either. But I feel bad for him. Yes I do! He's probably the ... only character I like in the whole thing and even he's not that great. The story kicks off with him cheating and he was and utter asshole in the beginning. But he devoted eveything of his to Mookyul and in return all he got was lies. For this reason, I truely feel bad for him.

I hated how Ewon gets treated by Mookyul. Like, Mookyul practically didn't let go of anything of his own to be with Ewon, he was constantly lying to Ewon. On the other hand, Ewon was being pushed around, wasn't allowed to be with his friends, didn't have any personal space. HOW UTTERLY SUFFOCATING THAT MIGHT FEEL LIKE! Even in sex Mookyul didn't care about how Ewon was feeling and would jump at him any chance he gets. It's as if Mookyul wanted a slave not a lover. Even then Ewon went back to Mookyul again and again. It was his toxic trait. Their relationship is toxic, YES!

I lost my shit when Ewon and Mookyul got back together after the big fight only to find out that Mookyul had lied even that time. I absolutely lost my shit.


NO DICK IS WORTH THIS CRAP. NOPE.

I legit wanted him to be with Moon or Jiho instead. They treated him better than Mookyul ever did.

Story : 1/10
Art : 5/10
Character : 1/10
Enjoyment : 2/10
Overall : 2/10

I personally think that this anime is underrated.

I liked the art style, character setting and character development though the sound effects were nothing out of ordinary. Considering that it has 12 episodes only, I think the story progression was decent as well. I liked how every character had developed with the flow of the story and how the story was not following and orienting around one character only but all of them.

I'll be looking forward to the next season~

( I liked the tringle obsessed guy xd and I somehow can relate with tenma with the whole being a hard headed and kind of arrogant guy ... )
