Good morning anime fan community, greetings to all who give life to #TheAnimeRealm. Yesterday I finally had the chance to finish watching one of the most overrated anime today. Yes, today I'm here to tell you about Jujutsu Kaisen. And no, I won't give spoilers in my post, I'm just here to express my opinion about the series.

Origin

  Let's see, I'm going to be very honest with you in this post, I started watching this series as a suggestion from a friend after I finished watching the whole third season of Kimetsu No Yaiba (KNY) and I wanted to see an anime as good or better.

  I already knew certain characters and the series had already caught my attention because it had animal characters among humans (a Panda) and also used martial arts in the fights, I even managed to see some short films of fights that I thought were very good.

Origin

  And when I was told that it was similar to KNY, I didn't hesitate to start watching it. However, at the beginning, I must admit that I found it quite boring, and very talkative and they tried to explain deep things simply but most of the time I lost the thread. This part of the series, the introduction and explanation of what the characters do and how they do it, even though it gets boring with so much Blah-Blah-Blah, is fair and necessary.

  I like anime series that have drama, action, good images, and effects, I don't care if they include the computer effect in the animations, if they do it well, the images are spectacular and it gives an original touch to the anime. This is what happened with Jujutsu Kaisen.

Origin

  But being so Blah-Blah-Blah at a certain point, believe me, I had my doubts about whether to continue it or not. The First Season for me is the best, it grabbed me with the first episode and it was great to see action scenes and drama from the beginning. There were several episodes after this that I was more lost than an old lady on a motorcycle but I continued watching, trying to catch every detail but unfortunately, I always got lost.

  After watching its movie and finally its second season, looking forward to a third one, (even if it spoiled me on social networks with the death of a character), I must say that Jujutsu Kaisen is a masterpiece. Yes, after watching it in its entirety I understand the fans of the saga and why it had so much BOOM everywhere.

Origin

  And how not to love this series if it has iconic and deep characters with incredible personalities in addition to this, the author took great care to give depth, class, and lots and lots of evil to their villains. I have never seen an anime with so much evil to the core as the ones presented here in Jujutsu Kaisen (except for the villain of Made in Abyss).

  I have a few favorite characters from this series, throughout its seasons and movie, not necessarily the heroes. Of the good ones, the one that stood out the most and captivated me from the moment I saw him was the sexy and muscular Aoi Toudou. It's just that this character has it all, it's like watching a good-hearted giant, his armor is a pure pint, and there's something about him that makes him very tender despite his musculature. He's my animated Crush.

Origin

  But don't worry, he's not my only favorite. And before I give you more details of my favorite characters, I must tell you that Satoru Gojou is not in my list. He may have those spectacular blue eyes that are my weakness (I admit it), but he is not in my life, he is one of my hated characters. I'm sorry but no, here I don't agree with the series' fans. It's that this character is exaggeratedly superior, arrogant, and snotty. I can't tolerate people like that with their Ego at a mile a minute, taking everyone with such arrogance.

  For me, the ones that stand out from the good and the bad are the following:

Good Characters	Bad Characters
Aoi Toudou	Touji Fushiguro
Kento Nanami	Mahito
Mei Mei	Hanami
Kasumi Miwa	Chousou
Toge Inumaki	Sukuna Ryoumen

Origin

  And each one of them stands out to me in spectacular fashion. They are characters that have it all. Of the good ones, they possess mischief, excessive self-confidence, and irony, they make bad jokes, and they also show humility (at certain times, not always), but what they all have in common is their high level of morality to protect the ones they love no matter if that means losing their lives in the attempt. That level of commitment to me is what makes them unique and special.

  As for the villains, what can I say about them? I love how misunderstood they are, that's what captivated me from the beginning with each of them. Their powers, of course, surprise me in each chapter with each one of them not knowing completely how powerful they can be. They always have an ace up their sleeve and know how to counterattack their opponent.

Origin

  In addition to all the quintessential characters you get in Jujutsu Kaisen, I can't leave out the technical details applied at the time of capturing the illustrations, not only in the fight scenes (which so far are the best I've seen), where they use drawing techniques such as those shown in the video clip of Linkin Park: Breaking the Habit. To me, they are spectacular.

  For having an interesting plot, impressive drawing effects, masterful fights, and unique characters, this series is not overrated. It is one of the best made. And it's worth watching. Especially the episodes from number 16 onwards, they are the best of all and that's when the series gets good. From my side, it has and will have 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 of 5 Little Golden Stars, well deserved because its author has made an anime that marked history. Of course, for my part, it is highly recommended.

Thanks for making it to the end of my post.
Let me know what you think about it in a comment.
I'd love to read it.
See you in my next post! Cheers!
