Is **Jujutsu Kaisen** actually overrated… or is it simply **too big for the anime community to handle?**
In April 2024, **Guinness World Records officially confirmed** that *Jujutsu Kaisen became the most popular anime in the world*. Not based on opinions or fan polls — but **global demand data**. At one point, the series reached **128x the demand of an average TV show worldwide**.
It surpassed **Attack on Titan**, **One Piece**, and even major Western TV series.
Yet if you look online, the conversation feels completely different.
People call it **mid**.
They say it’s **overhyped**.
Some claim it’s just **carried by animation**.
Others argue it’s just **Naruto + Bleach + Hunter x Hunter combined**.
So what’s actually going on?
In this video, we break down the biggest criticisms surrounding Jujutsu Kaisen:
• Is JJK really just copying other shonen anime?
• Is the darkness and character deaths just shock value?
• Is the power system too complicated for its own good?
• Are fans only here for hype, aura, and viral TikTok edits?
More importantly, we explore a bigger question:
**What happens when an anime becomes too successful?**
Because sometimes, when a series grows this big…
the backlash grows just as big.
Love it or hate it, one thing is undeniable:
**Jujutsu Kaisen has changed the modern shonen landscape.**
And not every anime becomes influential enough to be debated by the entire internet.
Jujutsu Kaisen did.
🔥 Watch until the end and decide for yourself:
Is Jujutsu Kaisen actually overrated?
Or is it simply **one of the most influential anime of its generation?**
