“Jujustu Kaisen” explores a world where negative emotions manifest into monsters. Jujutsu Kaisen has a lot to offer to those who haven’t watched much anime by having a cast that consists of largely relatable characters. However, it shines the most in its action, so much so that nearly every episode has a battle between characters or curses. Season two of Jujustu Kaisen has amplified everything about the show and was the most sucessfull anime of summer 2023.

“Blue Lock” is not a particularly deep or thought provoking story. But what it lacks in depth, it makes up for in pure entertainment. Blue Lock is a sports anime about soccer. The story follows the main character, Isagi Yoichi, who is a high school student who just lost his final soccer game of the year. That day, he gets an invitation to an event called Blue Lock, which is a program made to find the best “striker” (forward position in soccer) in the country. The story is nothing short of ridiculous, with cartoonishly exaggerated faces and an endless supply of cringe inducing one-liners which just make it even more fun to watch.

“One Piece” needs no introduction for many people, even for those who don’t watch anime. “One Piece” is notoriously long, with the anime beginning in 1999, it has been running consistently since, and has aired over one thousand episodes. For those who are unfamiliar with One Piece, it is a story about a man named Monkey D. Luffy who goes on a journey at sea to find the secret treasure hidden by the King of Pirates years ago. One Piece is filled with countless different fantastical settings, separated by each island. The crew travels between these islands dodging various obstacles.
