‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ (2020–Present)

Okay, let me tell you about ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’. It’s a wild ride centered around Yuji Itadori, an ordinary high schooler who suddenly finds himself possessed by a ridiculously powerful, ancient curse named Ryomen Sukuna. To fix things – and believe me, they’re seriously messed up – he enlists in a secret society of sorcerers. Their mission? Hunt down Sukuna’s remaining fingers and ultimately destroy him. What really grabbed me, though, wasn’t just the over-the-top, beautifully animated fight scenes, but the show’s willingness to dive into some really dark and complex emotions, manifesting them as these terrifying ‘Curses’. The character relationships are fascinatingly layered too – it’s not just about good versus evil, it’s messy and real. Definitely one to watch if you’re looking for something that’s both visually stunning and emotionally engaging.

The series is a fun adventure filled with delicious food and travels through a magical world.

‘My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s’ (2025)

I recently stumbled upon this awesome isekai anime called ‘My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s’ and I’m hooked! It’s about a guy, Akira Oda, who gets transported to another world with his classmates. Unlike everyone else who gets typical hero powers, he ends up with insane assassin skills. Instead of being the face of the operation, he prefers to work from the shadows, protecting his friends and figuring out why they were all summoned in the first place. What I really love is how clever and strategic he is in battle, and the show does a great job of building a really complex and dangerous political world around him.

‘Gachiakuta’ (2025)

‘Gachiakuta’ tells the story of Rudo, a boy wrongly accused of a crime and banished to a dangerous underground world called the Abyss. There, he discovers he has the power to create weapons from trash. He teams up with a group called the Cleaners, who battle monsters and search for a way to return to the surface. The series is known for its unique visual style and explores themes of waste and how society overlooks those in need.
