Jujutsu Kaisen
Anime5 list appearances
High-school athlete Yuji Itadori swallows a rotting talisman finger belonging to Ryomen Sukuna, landing on death row inside Tokyo Jujutsu High under blindfolded powerhouse mentor Satoru Gojo. MAPPA's adaptation turned Hidden Inventory and the Shibuya Incident into global event television with inventive hand-to-hand choreography. First series in Crunchyroll Anime Awards history to win Anime of the Year twice. Reinvents its visual language in Season 2 under director Shota Goshozono with bold cinematic framing and smear animation. Raises real stakes in the Shibuya Incident by permanently sidelining or killing core mentors and allies. Turns Domain Expansion hand signs and cursed-energy rules into tactical, legible combat puzzles.
