Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1: Release & Trailer Announced

At first, Jujutsu Kaisen looks nothing different than its brethren Shounen Jump series — a naive protagonist with more skills and brain than power, a supernatural threat, and an epic cliched story which grows in every direction at first.

The plot kicks off with the protagonist swallowing the finger of an ancient evil named Ryomen Sukuna, causing him to be possessed by it. Jujutsu Kaisen had a promising start, and it quickly made it to the West.

Considering how the Western Shonen Jump is already full of stellar titles, Jujutsu Kaisen making it to the spotlight was amazing.

The news of its possible anime adaptation came out weeks ago. Since then fans were busy guessing which studio will take the job. It will be interesting to see how Jujutsu Kaisen crafts a more unique version of itself in the anime market.

The official website for Jujutsu Kaisen manga released the upcoming anime’s first promotional video on Wednesday.

A few days ago, Weekly Shonen Jump tweeted that the anime will premiere sometime in Fall. And now it has been confirmed for October. It will air on the “Super Animeism” block on MBS, TBS, and their affiliate networks.
