Shows that feel likeJUJUTSU KAISEN (2020–)
If you loved JUJUTSU KAISEN, the closest series we have are Chainsaw Man (2022), Constantine (2014) and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (2019). All three share JUJUTSU KAISEN's cerebral and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Archive 81 (2022).
If JUJUTSU KAISEN hit the spot, these will too

A boy fused with a devil and conscripted into hunting them
The difference: Filthier and funnier, and deliberately unheroic

A reluctant exorcist and the institution that uses him
The difference: Live action, one season, and much cheaper

A kind-hearted kid carrying a curse into gorgeously animated demon fights
The difference: Sweeter and more sentimental — the darkness never cuts as deep

Cursed objects, monster hunting and a mentor who is barely one
The difference: Fifteen seasons of American road-trip horror, warmer and looser

A team of overpowered outcasts whose bonds matter more than the wars
The difference: Lighter and hornier — the animation quality falls off a cliff later

A school where students are ranked by power and the monsters are real
The difference: Smug power-fantasy comedy — no dread, and no cost to winning

The same preoccupation in both: supernatural
The difference: Leans harder into drama than JUJUTSU KAISEN does

Cerebral and dreamlike in the same breath

Demons hunted by blade in a fight that never quite finishes
The difference: Gentler and more romantic, with 2000s pacing and monster-of-the-week rhythm

Dread-soaked animation, and it commits to that
The difference: Easier on the momentum than JUJUTSU KAISEN

Both are built on the same subject: paranormal
The difference: Sits closer to drama than JUJUTSU KAISEN does

Both keep coming back to the same thing: supernatural
