I am generally not a manga reader, but I do read a few of them. I haven't read this one, but I know it must be good going on how heavily hyped this anime was before it was released in 2019 by fans of the manga. They weren't wrong. Itadori Yuji is a high school student who excels at sports but he doesn't want to be an athlete. The sports clubs at his new high school would keep him attending too late to visit his grandfather (his only family) in th hospital, and his grandfather is very ill. So the only club he wants to be a part of is the Occult Club which lets him come and go as he pleases...because he keeps their club going, being the member they need to make the final number cut. He likes the other two members, though. Enough so that he got the school's cursed object for them...and that was probably not a good idea. It sets into motion the events that changes Yuji's life and gets him transferred to sorcerer's school. Because now he has a curse living inside of him...one of the most evil curses imaginable. Following this episode is the best gold-darn ending song I've heard in awhile. "Lost in Paradise" performed by ALI—a multinational Hip Hop/funk outfit from Shibuya (Tokyo), featuring AKLO on vocals. Honest to goddess, it's all I can do to stop myself from getting up and dancing (very badly) to this song every time it comes on. My girlfriend laughs at me enough as it is. Also...whenever someone in anime has their eyes closed via bandages or blindfolds, etcetera, it's a dead damn giveaway that that person is 1) EXTREMELY OVERPOWERED, and 2) has weird-ass, freaky-ass looking eyes. Well, in Gojo's case, it's one out of two. When I first saw Gojo's eyes, I almost forgot how gay I am, and fell once again in love with an anime character. If you're curious, watch the rest of the damn show. It's not too long (episode five maybe) before they're revealed. Or just search on YouTube for the opening song with Gojo's blindfold off. There are two opening songs: one where he teases taking the blindfold off, and then after the episode where he does do it, they start showing the second opening song. Anime openings are (sometimes) pretty good about not giving too many spoilers. They give enough as it is. Anyway, this anime is one of my favorite new anime and I'm trying to get caught up with season one right now, because season 2 will be airing soon. This has themes of blood and gore and violence. Probably not for little kids. There's also the occasional dirty joke. Enjoy. AND... I forgot the ending song doesn't appear in the first episode. My bad. Here ya go:
