The first episode started off strong. The pacing was fast and the characters are enjoyable enough to keep you wanting more. I enjoyed the demon fighting aspects of the show. The main character's arc is different from the usual anime you may have watched which keeps it interesting

A brisk, tactically paced opener merging urban realism with occult tension; it builds stakes through character agency and moral choice, framing power as burden, not glory, with disciplined focus.

JJK starts with absolute fire! The fast pacing is a breath of fresh air, and the animation during the school fight is a total MAPPA flex. Already getting a glimpse of Sukuna’s aura, and he looks like an endgame boss. The stakes are already set, no time wasted. W premiere.

Strongest start to a supernatural anime I've seen in a while. The fight scenes are fluid, and the sound design when Sukuna awakens is bone-chilling. That cliffhanger at the end makes it impossible not to hit the 'Next Episode'.
