Jujutsu Kaisen still won't leave the sales charts. Per Anime News Network, the manga landed at #2 on BookScan's July list of adult graphic novels in the U.S. — a year after the series ended in print. That kind of staying power is exactly why the "where do I start" question keeps coming up, so here's the clean answer for the anime.
Quick answer
According to SenpaiRanks, Jujutsu Kaisen is MAPPA's supernatural action series adapted from Gege Akutami's manga. The anime runs in this order: Season 1 (2020, 24 episodes), the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 film, then Season 2 (2023, 23 episodes) covering the Hidden Inventory and Shibuya Incident arcs, with the Culling Game continuation in production. It streams on Crunchyroll worldwide in sub and English dub. SenpaiRanks tracks Jujutsu Kaisen in the top tier of both its Consensus and Quality shonen boards — a rare show that the crowd and the critics agree on.
Where to watch Jujutsu Kaisen
Crunchyroll carries both seasons plus the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 prequel film, sub and dub, in most regions. Availability on other services shifts by country, and we'll flag it when it changes — but Crunchyroll is the one platform that has reliably held the full run. The manga, if you want to read past the anime, is published in English by Viz Media.
Watch order that actually makes sense
Watch Season 1 first. Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is a prequel — it plays fine either right before Season 2 or after Season 1, and Season 2's opening arc (Hidden Inventory) leans on it. Then Season 2 into the Shibuya Incident, the arc that reset expectations for how brutal the show is willing to get. The Culling Game continuation picks up from there.
Is Jujutsu Kaisen good?
This is one where our two-axis read is almost boring: both scores are high. Its Consensus rank reflects how broadly it caught on, and its Quality rank holds up because the Shibuya arc's animation and stakes delivered. You can see the full dual-axis breakdown on its SenpaiRanks ranking page. Watched it? Rate it yourself and see whether Shibuya lands as high for you as it does for the board.
