Production

edit

Jujutsu Kaisen director Sunghoo Park had meetings with Shueisha and the Jujutsu Kaisen manga author Gege Akutami to discuss the details about adapting the long-form narrative into a seasonal anime structure. Park also felt the challenges from the MAPPA's staff in adapting the series' designs, build the characters, and create the "Domain Expansion" scenes during their production which he stated that it required a lots of detailed discussion with Akutami and Shueisha to enhance their works. Compared to his previous work The God of High School, Park acknowledges in working with different teams through the use of their technique and creativity to make their action scenes possible.[4]

Scriptwriter Hiroshi Seko discussed about the handling of the drama but also the comedic banter between the teenagers, adults, and the cursed spirits in the series which is mostly based on the original materials. Toho producer Hiroaki Matsutani also revealed the addition of the post-credits shorts "Juju Sanpo", in which an idea from Akutami came up with the draft and later submitting it to the staff. When discussing about the sound and music, Matsutani originally stated that they assigned Yoshiki Kobayashi as the composer, before its role was eventually given to both Hiroaki Tsutsumi and Yoshimasa Terui.[5]

Reception

edit

Popularity

edit

In January 2021, it was revealed that Jujutsu Kaisen was the second most-watched anime series on Crunchyroll in 2020, only second to Black Clover, being watched in 71 countries and territories, including North America, South and Central America, Europe, Middle East and North Africa, Africa, Asia and Oceania.[46] The official music video of the series' first opening theme song, "Kaikai Kitan" by Eve, reached 100 million views on YouTube in April 2021, being one of the fastest anime openings to hit such number of views.[47]

On Tumblr's 2021 Year in Review, which highlights the largest communities, fandoms, and trends on the platform throughout the year, Jujutsu Kaisen ranked second behind My Hero Academia on the Top Anime & Manga Shows while Satoru Gojo was fifth on the Top Anime & Manga Characters category.[48] During the same year, the series became the second most discussed TV show worldwide on Twitter, surpassing Squid Game.[49] It placed nineteenth on the annual Twitter Japan's Trend Awards in 2021, based on the social network's top trending topics of the year.[50]

In 2024, Jujutsu Kaisen was named by the Guinness World Record and data-science firm Parrot Analytics as the "Most in-demand animated TV show", with a global demand rating 71.2 times than that of the average TV show, previously held by Attack on Titan. The demand of the series peaked on December 29 at 128 times the demand of the average show. It also had a higher percentage of Gen Z (ages 13–22) viewers with 71.3%, compared to 56.7% from One Piece and 64.4% from Attack on Titan.[51][52]

In April 2024, where according to the data compiled by the analyst Miles Atherton, Jujutsu Kaisen had the most social media engagement for the last 30 days in the top anime and network dramas in United States with 11.2 million, ahead of the other top shows including One Piece, Young Sheldon, and Grey's Anatomy.[53]

Critical reception

edit

Micah Peters of The Ringer said that while the series' "focused execution" of shōnen tropes makes it "infinitely watchable", is its "specificity, its personality, its ultra-slick stylishness" what make the show special. He added: "Like with Park's previous work, there is a sumptuous amount of splashy, expensive, mo-cap-enabled animation, delivering on the action promised by the comics".[54] Paul Thomas Chapman of Otaku USA called it a "prime example of average material elevated by excellent execution", adding that it is similar to Bleach and YuYu Hakusho. Chapman commented that Sunghoo Park "puts the "beatdown" in narrative beats", being able to "segue from goofy comedy to chilling horror in an instant", and that he and the crew at MAPPA "make this narrative mutability seem effortless".[55] Ana Diaz of Polygon highlighted the 17th episode, praising the series' treatment of its female characters, different to other shōnen series. Diaz wrote: "Jujutsu Kaisen goes a step further than avoiding gender tropes by presenting a variety of female perspectives. It's not like there's any right way for these young women to deal with the unique pressures they face. The story lets them disagree, and fight for their perspectives and their place". She concluded: "The show's widespread success signals that audiences aren't just ready for change, they're actively craving it. Now, every other creator has the green light to write all kinds of women into their shows".[56]

Reviewing the second season's Shibuya Incident Arc, Rafael Motamayor of IGN praised the animation but criticised the story as meandering and the relentless fight scenes as a "slog," describing the arc as "nonsensical fight after nonsensical fight without much emotion in the storytelling."[57]

Accolades

edit

The Jujutsu Kaisen anime was awarded "Anime of the Year" at the 5th Crunchyroll Anime Awards, while Ryomen Sukuna won the "Best Antagonist" category and "Lost in Paradise feat. Aklo" by ALI won the "Best Ending Sequence" category.[58][59] In 2021, the series won the Character License Award at the Japan Character Awards by Japan's Character Brand Licensing Association (CBLA).[60] It also won the Best TV Anime award at the 2021 Newtype Anime Awards, while Hiroshi Seko won Best Screenplay for his work on the series.[61] The series ranked second in the anime category of the Yahoo! Japan Search Awards, based on the number of searches for a particular term compared to the year before.[62]

In 2022, Jujutsu Kaisen won the Tokyo Anime Award for Animation of the Year in the television category.[63] In 2023, the series became one of three recipients of the Special Achievement Award at the 65th Japan Record Awards.[64] In 2024, it won the "Most In-Demand TV Series in the World 2023" and "Most In-Demand Anime Series of 2023" at the sixth Global Demand Awards.[65] At the 8th Crunchyroll Anime Awards, the second season of the anime won eleven out of seventeen nominations including "Anime of the Year", which became the first to win the top prize twice.[66]
