Crunchyroll announced that Jujutsu Kaisen anime will join the platform this Fall 2020. The show will be available worldwide excluding Asia.
MAPPA is in charge of the animation production with Sunghoo Park as the director. Park is also the director of The God of High School anime which is currently airing.
The highly anticipation is based on the popular Weekly Shonen Jump manga by Gege Akutami.
Crunchyroll describes the series as:
Hardship, regret, shame: the negative feelings that humans feel become Curses that lurk in our everyday lives. The Curses run rampant throughout the world, capable of leading people to terrible misfortune and even death. What’s more, the Curses can only be exorcised by another Curse.
Itadori Yuji is a boy with tremendous physical strength, though he lives a completely ordinary high school life. One day, to save a friend who has been attacked by Curses, he eats the finger of the Double-Faced Specter, taking the Curse into his own soul. From then on, he shares one body with the Double-Faced Specter. Guided by the most powerful of sorcerers, Gojo Satoru, Itadori is admitted to the Tokyo Metropolitan Technical High School of Sorcery, an organization that fights the Curses… and thus begins the heroic tale of a boy who became a Curse to exorcise a Curse, a life from which he could never turn back.
