Bow to the power of Satoru Gojo
Megan Thee Stallion Announces 2024 Anime of the Year
Crunchyroll has announced the winners of the 2024 Anime Awards, the annual awards ceremony held in Japan to honor and celebrate the past year's best shows, voice actors, animators, musicians and creators. On Saturday, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 took home the year's highest award for anime of the year.
The second season of the popular supernatural action anime saw director Shota Goshozono take over the reins of the series from Sunghoo Park, who left the series after the show's first season ended. Produced by studio MAPPA, the anime follows the story of Yuji Itadori, a young man with sharp supernatural abilities who accidentally becomes the vessel of a malevolent cursed spirit known as Sukuna. Although Yuji was initially condemned to death, he is rescued and taken under the wing of Satoru Gojo, a powerful Jujutsu wizard, who trains him to aid in the endless war between humans and curses.
Jujutsu Kaisen left a huge impression on discerning anime fans when it premiered in 2020, and went on to earn a spot on our list of the best anime of the year. The show's second season proved to be just as impressive, if not more so, taking the coveted top spot on our list of the best anime of 2023.
