If you're a fan of JUJUTSU KAISEN, you've probably heard of CHAINSAW MAN.

The difference is that CHAINSAW MAN offers a wilder and more brutal atmosphere, with visuals that make your heart race.

Just like Yuji Itadori, Denji also struggles to accept his new powers while facing a world full of dangerous creatures.

In addition to its dark story, this anime is also known for its super detailed animation and captivating cinematography. Each fight is crafted so realistically that it feels like an action movie. For those still waiting for the new season of Jujutsu Kaisen, this anime can be the perfect outlet.

NARUTO can be considered one of the most iconic shonen anime of all time. Even though it has been airing for a long time, the story of this young ninja's struggles remains exciting for those who enjoy JUJUTSU KAISEN. Both have themes of friendship, rivalry, and character growth that draw the audience into the atmosphere.

The cheerful and headstrong Naruto Uzumaki has an interesting dynamic with Sasuke, his quieter rival. Characters like Sakura and Kakashi also complement the story with their own strengths and personalities. Similar to JUJUTSU KAISEN, the relationships between the characters are one of the main attractions.

Indeed, NARUTO is much longer than Jujutsu Kaisen, but its story remains engaging to follow. Each arc has memorable conflicts and life lessons, especially about hard work and courage.

3. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

This anime has become a new phenomenon in the shonen world and is clearly suitable for fans of JUJUTSU KAISEN. Set in the Taisho era of Japan, DEMON SLAYER presents a tragic yet spirited story through its main character, Tanjiro Kamado. He fights hard to heal his sister who has turned into a demon, with strong determination and love.

Like JUJUTSU KAISEN, this anime features incredibly beautiful animation and breathtaking battles. Every move and sword technique is showcased with stunning visual effects. You'll find yourself hooked on each episode just to enjoy the action that is as beautiful as a moving painting.

In addition to its visuals and battles, DEMON SLAYER also contains a high emotional value. The story about family, sacrifice, and hope feels very human despite being wrapped in a world full of demons.

4. Yu Yu Hakusho

Before JUJUTSU KAISEN, the anime YU YU HAKUSHO had already introduced the concept of spirit battles and the spiritual world. The story follows Yusuke Urameshi, a rebellious teenager who sacrifices his life to save a child. After that, he is recruited as a spirit detective to eradicate evil beings from another world.

Although it has been airing since the 1990s, its appeal remains relevant to this day. Many elements in JUJUTSU KAISEN feel inspired by this legendary anime. With a solid storyline and memorable characters, YU YU HAKUSHO can be a refreshing nostalgia.

5. Soul Eater

If you want an anime with a dark yet funny and stylish vibe, SOUL EATER is the right choice. This anime tells the story of a pair of soul hunters, Maka and Soul, who are tasked with defeating evil humans and collecting their souls. Uniquely, Soul can transform into a weapon that Maka uses in every battle.

SOUL EATER features a Halloween-style visual aesthetic and has a fairly deep story. The inner conflicts of its characters feel real and emotional, similar to Yuji Itadori's struggles against Sukuna.

Additionally, this anime is full of unique and charismatic characters that bring the atmosphere to life. Its energy and humor style remind one of Gojo Satoru's antics in Jujutsu Kaisen. So, if you enjoy exciting action but still want something light-hearted, Soul Eater could be the perfect choice.
