Hideo Kojima praises Jujutsu Kaisen: a major recognition for the anime
When a video game legend speaks about an anime, the message carries weight. Hideo Kojima , creator of Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding, recently shared his opinion on Jujutsu Kaisen … and it's unequivocal.
Hideo Kojima discovers Jujutsu Kaisen 0
It was during a viewing of the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 film that Hideo Kojima truly immersed himself in the world of the franchise. Until then, he had only seen the first episode of the anime.
After this film, his conclusion is clear: the success of Jujutsu Kaisen is totally justified.
"I saw the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie on the plane. I had only seen the first episode before, but after this movie, I fully understand its success. And once again, MAPPA is incredible."
MAPPA, a recognized expertise beyond anime
This statement once again highlights the exceptional work of Studio MAPPA . Fluid animation, cinematic direction, masterful handling of dramatic tension, and powerful emotions: Jujutsu Kaisen stands out as a work that transcends the simple action shōnen genre.
Seeing a creator renowned for his complex storytelling and demanding art direction praise an anime confirms Jujutsu Kaisen's special status in the current landscape of Japanese animation.
Why Jujutsu Kaisen leaves such a lasting impression
- A dark and mature narrative
- Nuanced and memorable characters
- A very high-level visual achievement
- An emotional approach rarely seen in modern shōnen
The Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie acts as a true gateway to the franchise, capable of convincing even the most demanding viewers.
