For those who prefer to wait for the next season of the anime to air, or for those who have already caught up with the manga, there are plenty of other fantastic shows like Jujutsu Kaisen that can keep fans occupied; shows with plenty of action, crazy battles, deadly curses, powerful characters, and more. For folks looking for something to binge, here are some anime like Jujutsu Kaisen that you need to watch next.

Updated September 19, 2024, by Suzail Ahmad: Jujutsu Kaisen's second season ended on a major cliffhanger, so fans cannot wait for the anime to answer all the big questions. Jujutsu Kaisen fans certainly want to know whether Gojo Satoru will be freed and if he will join the battle against Pseudo-Geto. Furthermore, viewers will also be interested in learning how Itadori Yuji will survive the assassination attempts by Yuta, one of the strongest sorcerers in the world.

​​​​​​MAPPA has already announced that it is working on the new season, but it is likely a year or two away. In the meantime, fans will have to watch something worthwhile that they can watch till its release. Thankfully, there are many great anime out there that are similar to Jujutsu Kaisen. They are filled to the brim with action, drama, and humor that should keep Jujutsu Kaisen fans busy until the third season finally premieres.

1 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

MyAnimeList Score: 7.88

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is different from the other entries on the list. It does not have a linear plot. Instead, it is divided into several parts which are interconnected. Each part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has a different cast of characters, which keeps things fresh. Even if viewers do not enjoy a certain part, they can move on to another once they wrap it up.

The anime has two power systems, and both are linked to the willpower and spirit of a person. Just like how characters in Jujutsu Kaisen can channel cursed energy through their fists, JoJo characters can do the same with Hamon. This power-up is limited to the first two parts, after which Stands become the main power system. The battles in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure are packed with intense action, making them thoroughly enjoyable. Keeping all these things in mind, Hirohiko Araki's magnum opus should definitely be watched by Jujutsu Kaisen fans.

2 Shaman King

MyAnimeList Score: 7.73

Shaman King is an adventure anime series that has multiple supernatural elements. The story focuses on Yoh Asakura, a boy with dreams of becoming the Shaman King. In order to accomplish his goal, the hero has to overcome all sorts of adversities. Shaman King offers viewers a unique experience unlike any other. Jujutsu Kaisen might not find too many similarities plot wise, but some of the characters in both the shows are rather similar. They are humorous, powerful, and above all, entertaining. The power system in Shaman King is rather unique, so viewers will never be bored while watching it.

3 Seven Deadly Sins

MyAnimeList Score: 7.63

Seven Deadly Sins is a battle shonen that takes place in the Kingdom of Liones. The story follows a group of unorthodox knights who are considered outcasts by the regular people. These seven individuals find solace in each other. Seven Deadly Sins features a plethora of races, including demons, giants, and fairies. So, viewers who like fantasy elements will appreciate this anime more.

Seven Deadly Sins and Jujutsu Kaisen might not have too many similarities, except for their incredible fights. Seven Deadly Sins includes some of the most hyped battles in the last decade, which are enough to keep the audience glued to their screens at all times. The story is not half bad either. Once viewers finish Seven Deadly Sins, they can start the sequel, which focuses on the next generation. The sequel features characters from the original series, so viewers won't have to watch an entirely different cast.

4 Noragami

MyAnimeList Score: 7.95

Noragami is a popular anime series based on the manga written by Adachitoka, a well-known duo. The anime was released in 2014, and the studio has not followed up with any news about the second season.

Noragami follows the story of Yato, a minor deity with big ambitions. Yato desires to have plenty of worshipers, but fortune has other plans for him. Yato and Itadori have similar personalities. Both are comical yet powerful, which is the blend needed for any successful anime protagonist. Noragami also has good fights involving supernatural elements, a theme that is found in Jujutsu Kaisen.

5 Hunter x Hunter

MyAnimeList Score: 9.04

Hunter x Hunter is widely considered to be the best anime series of all time. There are two versions of the anime: one from 1999 and the other from 2011. Both are special in their own way, but most fans prefer the 2011 version.

At the center of the story is Gon, a young boy who wants to meet his father. Gon's adventure takes him away from his home, but he meets many good friends. The series has a power system called Nen, which has been covered in great detail. There are various layers to it, and Togashi has explained each and every detail. The characters from Hunter x Hunter have rare Nen abilities. This particular quality is also observed in Jujutsu Kaisen, where characters have special cursed techniques.

6 Mob Psycho 100

MyAnimeList Score: 8.49

Mob Psycho 100 is a must-watch for all anime fans. Not many shows come close to its storytelling, character buildup, and fights. Mob Psycho 100 released its first season in 2016, which became a massive hit in the anime community. There were two subsequent seasons, and both received the same level of appreciation from the audience.

​​​​​​The world of ​Mob Psycho 100 is also infested with spirits and curses. While not all of them appear menacing like the ones in Jujutsu Kaisen, they are still absurdly powerful. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that Mob's development alone makes the anime worth watching. Jujutsu Kaisen fans will definitely want to add this show to their list if they want to experience something comparable to their favorite series.

7 Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku

MyAnimeList Score: 8.14

Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku has solidified itself as one of the best new-generation manga series. It started serializing in 2018 and reached its conclusion in 2021. Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku received an anime adaptation in 2023 that was produced by MAPPA.

The anime focuses on the life of Gabimaru, a powerful ninja who is captured on a mission. Even though Gabimaru claims to have no desire to continue living, he subconsciously wants to stay alive. Due to this reason, no executioner's blade can cut through his body. Yamada Asaemon Sagiri figures out that Gabimaru's love for his wife is keeping him alive. So she offers him a chance to be pardoned by the shogunate. Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku is similar to Jujutsu Kaisen in more ways than one. Firstly, the themes are both dark. There is a great deal of bloodshed in almost every single episode of both shows. Secondly, the characters are unique and deviate from the usual shonen tropes. Finally, both stories explore different kinds of monsters, which the heroes must defeat in order to survive.

8 Bleach

MyAnimeList Score: 7.93

​​​

Bleach is a part of Shonen Jump's "Big Three." The series has been written by Tite Kubo, and it is one of the most popular anime series of all time. Set in Japan, where a young boy named Ichigo Kurasaki slowly comes to terms with his lineage.

Ichigo gains the power of a Soul Reaper and starts to defend the world from heinous threats. On his journey, Ichigo meets new people, and he continues to learn more about his family history.

With the Thousand-Year Blood War arc finally being animated, now is the perfect time to start watching Bleach.

The first anime adaptation of Dororo was released in 1969. It was rebooted and released in 2019, and the reception from the viewers was positive.

With nothing to look forward to, Yusuke is surprised after he is put through numerous tests. After passing all the tests, Yusuke is revived and becomes an "Underworld Detective."
