Jujutsu Kaisen Anime's 3rd Promo Video Previews Eve's Opening Song

posted on by Egan Loo
12 more cast members announced earlier today for anime premiering on October 2

The official website for the television anime of Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen manga began streaming the anime's third promotional video on Saturday. The video, which first debuted during a streamed special earlier in the day, previews Eve's opening theme song "Kaikai Kitan."

Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine revealed 12 more cast members for members of the Tokyo and Kyoto schools and Curses earlier on Saturday:

Nobunaga Shimazaki as Mahito

Takahiro Sakurai as Suguru Geto

Atsuko Tanaka as Hanami

Shigeru Chiba as Jogo

Marina Inoue as Mai Zen'in

Subaru Kimura as Aoi Todo

Mugihito as Yoshinobu Gakuganji

Chinatsu Akasaki as Kazumi Miwa

Aya Endō as Shoko Ieiri

Takaya Kuroda as Masamichi Yaga

Yoshitaka Yamaya as Junpei Yoshino

Mitsuo Iwata as Kiyotaka Ijichi

The series will premiere on October 2 in the "Super Animeism" block on MBS, TBS and their affiliates, and will air on Fridays at 25:25 (effectively, Saturdays at 1:25 a.m.). Crunchyroll will stream the anime outside of Asia as the anime airs in Japan, starting on October 2.

Crunchyroll describes the anime's story:

Hardship, regret, shame: the negative feelings that humans feel become Curses that lurk in our everyday lives. The Curses run rampant throughout the world, capable of leading people to terrible misfortune and even death. What's more, the Curses can only be exorcised by another Curse.

Itadori Yuji is a boy with tremendous physical strength, though he lives a completely ordinary high School Life. One day, to save a friend who has been attacked by Curses, he eats the finger of the Double-Faced Specter, taking the Curse into his own soul. From then on, he shares one body with the Double-Faced Specter. Guided by the most powerful of sorcerers, Gojo Satoru, Itadori is admitted to the Tokyo Metropolitan Technical High School of Sorcery, an organization that fights the Curses... and thus begins the heroic tale of a boy who became a Curse to exorcise a Curse, a life from which he could never turn back.

The anime stars:

Sunghoo Park (The God of High School) is directing the anime at MAPPA. Hiroshi Seko (Attack on Titan: Lost Girls, Banana Fish, Vinland Saga) is writing and supervising the scripts. Tadashi Hiramatsu (His and Her Circumstances, Yuri!!! on Ice, Parasyte -the maxim-) is designing the characters. Hiroaki Tsutsumi, Yoshimasa Terui, and Arisa Okehazama are composing the music.

Ali is performing the ending theme song "Lost in Paradise feat. AKLO."

Viz Media published the manga's first three chapters in English simultaneously with Japan as part of its Jump Start initiative. When Viz then switched to its new Shonen Jump model in December 2018, the company began publishing new chapters of the manga digitally. Shueisha is also publishing the manga on its MANGA Plus website.

Akutami launched the manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in March 2018.
