Get Ready to Binge: The Hottest Anime in the World Finally Coming to Netflix
The anime that has surpassed even Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man in popularity will soon be available for streaming.
In a short period of time, the rather young studio MAPPA has become an anime giant, adding new exciting titles to its collection every year and not being afraid to allocate big budgets for their creation.
Maybe that's why MAPPA's projects are so popular, although it's more likely that this is just one of the factors working in conjunction with a good instinct for interesting stories aimed at the widest possible audience.
The fourth season of Attack on Titan, Chainsaw Man, and Jujutsu Kaisen are three of the most iconic works in anime culture in recent years, which are currently creating new rules of the game, turning familiar genres into spectacular, gruesome and at the same time meaningful works.
What do they have in common? They are all created by MAPPA.
Jujutsu Kaisen Broke Almost Every Possible Record
The publication of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga began in 2018 in the weekly magazine Shonen Jump. The story of sorcerers facing Curses was a resounding success, and the anime adaptation did not take long – the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen was released in 2020.
Over the years, Jujutsu Kaisen managed to set a record for manga sales, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 became the second full-length anime in history to earn more than 1 billion yen on its first day of release in Japan, and both seasons of the anime itself became the most watched in the world, surpassing even such hits as Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man.
What is Jujutsu Kaisen About?
Yuji Itadori's life changes dramatically when Curses invade his everyday life: monstrous creatures are born wherever negative human emotions accumulate. After joining the school's paranormal research club, Yuji himself encounters a true horror – the king of curses, Sukuna.
Driven by the desire to help people, Itadori decides to come to the aid of Megumi, a student at the Tokyo Magic College who has been sent to destroy a Curse.
Yuji's encounter with magic does not go unnoticed: he enrolls in the magic school, but everything has its price, and soon Yuji and his new friends will face a life-or-death test – the established order in the world of magicians and curses is bursting at the seams.
Jujutsu Kaisen’s Plot Will Keep You on The Edge of Your Seat
What's so good about Jujutsu Kaisen? First of all, the plot, of course. It develops without ever slowing down; each arc is a logical turn of the narrative spiral, and each new element serves to reveal the characters and enrich the world.
In addition, starting with the Shibuya Incident arc, which was shown in the second season of the anime, it becomes extremely clear that the story is taking such a serious turn that even the safety of the main characters is in real danger, and the stakes are as high as possible.
Yes, Jujutsu Kaisen is Coming to Netflix
Once you dive into the world of sorcerers and Curses, you risk losing track of time, but in return you get a whole world, described in detail and on a large scale.
Jujutsu Kaisen is first of all an exciting story with bright characters, bold creative decisions, but at the same time it does not go beyond the limits of the genre.
Soon you will be able to see for yourself – Netflix has announced that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 and Jujutsu Kaisen 0 will appear on the platform before the end of 2024.
