Jujutsu Kaisen

I am a Bleach fan and I have notices so many similarities when I have started watching Jujutsu Kaisen. Characters (both personality and apperance-wise), atmosphere of the universe, how the events occur and such... So I decided to search up for it and I saw I wasn't alone thinking like this. There is an interview made with both series mangakas and
apparently, Jujutsu Kaisen's mangaka said they decided to write a manga after they have read Bleach for the first time. Mangaka openly said they have influenced from Bleach. I guess that's enough reason to check it out Bleach if you like Jujutsu Kaisen. You

Both have a huge style factor to them, with a large set of characters. The cursed monsters are also very similar to Hollows from Bleach as well.

-Similar protagonist
-Similar atmosphere
-Similar art style
They both deal with "souls" main heroes are just students and then they get some powers and all that stuff!! If you love bleach then you will love Jujutsu kaisen too...
both are super natural action themed stories that focus on taking down the bad guys and also lots of nice to look at art and visuals as well too.

They're really similar in terms of dealing with souls and "monsters" and such.
Both main characters are strong from the beginning and have carefree nonchalant like dispositions while also caring for their friends
I think if you liked bleach and kinda want the same type of plot and concepts like dealing with souls, you should definitely give this a try! The manga is really good too.
-Similar MC
-Both have a group dedicated to fighting evil spirits
-Both have cool fights
In both Bleach and Jujutsu Kaisen, the main character (who can see ghosts) joins a group to help protect people.
Gege Akutami said that he was inspired by Bleach, and it shows. Both anime have a very similar feeling, art style and fighting style.
The main differences are the length and animation quality. Bleach has more episodes and lower animation quality, while Jujutsu Kaisen is 24 episodes (for now) and has really good animation quality.
Both are still pretty good anime, though I think that Jujutsu Kaisen is better than Bleach. Check out both if you can, but if you had to go with one, check

These two series have many similarities such as strange creatures that can only be seen by certain people, and there are also some characters who have similarities such as gojo and urahara, sukuna with grimmjow, and many more. I can also see itadori's black light similar to ichigo dan's getsugatensho and also domain expansion similar to bankai.
Both of these anime have the same supernatural story where the main character deals with curses, spirits, etc
Has many similarities like:
1. It is set in a supernatural world
2. The characters have interesting designs and abilities
3. The Main Protagonist has a unique demonic power
4. Jujutsu Kaisen was inspired by Bleach
5. Supernatural beings from both anime are similar.

In the simplest terms its ghust/demon hunting. If you like the plot and lore of Bleach, similar world-building is found in JJK, with more modern characters

JJK is heavily inspired and even references Bleach directly, it has a similiar setting and concept, tho executed differently. Also if you like urahara, chances are youd like Gojo. Both also got the inner demon troupe going and got amazing fights
Similar: They both involve main characters that want to fight off evil curse beings that invade the real world and MCs wants to do whatever it takes to protect those around them. MCs also have similar personalities and have similar physique to them.
Difference: In Bleach, the evil spirits are called Hollows and those that hunt them are called Soul Reapers and they use their Zanpakuto as weapons which usually comes in a form of a sword where as JJK characters use curse energy.
Both shows are great with strong characters, OSTs, and animation.

jjk is a new gen and is mostly inspired from the old gen shonens only.
Bleach is much more of a anime with a raw and stronger plot and with the thousand year blood war arc this october with the new gen animation.

And vice versa. Jujutsu Kaisen is like Bleach's successor. Both deal with invisible spiritual entities that an organization fights to protect the public.

Intentionally or otherwise, Jujutsu Kaisen draws even more inspiration from Bleach via its original premise: A bunch of extremely powerful and especially freaky monsters with varying degrees of sentience tied to lingering attachments of the dead that not everyone can see get exterminated by teenagers.
The whole cast is very similar to the bleach cast and they have similar enemy type

JJK is like a mixture of Naruto and Bleach. It has the best of both Anime and more! The animation is sooo good and the story has everything! Action, shounen, Drama, Comedy (and even some kind of sports) are in this show. And this was only the first season. If you like the style of Naruto and Bleach, then you will also like Jujutsu Kaisen!

Very similar concepts of curses/hollows. Awesome main protagonists that struggle with containing an evil force. Best of all, villains that are actually menacing
JJK is a shorter Bleach.
Both feature a red-haired protagonist that gets dragged into a fight against spirits/curses that no one else can see.
Each MC is surrounded by an eclectic class of characters in a world that opens up dramatically from the first episodes.

I think JJK is heavily influenced by bleach. There is a sort of soul society that's trained to fight of demons (similar concept to hollows) to keep humans safe, the MC is a good guy that has to fight with a demon inside of him and becomes super strong but is not really liked by the "soul society" although his teacher (gives off strong urahara vibes) seems to really like him and trains him to become stronger. I think that if you like bleach you will totally like JJK too.

Cursed spirits and hollows have very similar characteristics— being grotesque beings visible only to a certain amount of people. These people in most cases deciding to exorcist these grotesque beings in order to "protect my friends" or some self righteous thing. Itadori and Ichigo both have similar motivations: ichigo wanting to protect his friends, while itadori also wants to protect his friends and other people ( on order to give them a proper death and stuff).
The mangaka for jjk also claims to be heavily inspired from Bleach, as evidenced by similar lore and background and of course the costumes and character designs— another thing to

JJK is heavily inspired by Bleach. The author of JJK said his inspirations for JJK were Bleach, Hunter x Hunter, and Evangelion. They have similar character designs. The power systems are somewhat influenced by bleach as well.
It's undeniable that JJK has gotten a lot of new people into anime, thus this recommendation is more so people just starting and want to find similar anime. If asking me, I would recommend Bleach as it's already really popular and it directly inspired a lot of the elements seen in JJK (like Domain Expansions and Bankai). This means that a new viewer won't be diving into unknown territory since the concepts in Bleach are something they'd already be familiar with.
