The anime’s first season and Jujutsu Kaisen 0 were directed by Sunghoo Park (God of High School, Ninja Kamui), with Shota Goshozono (Jujutsu Kaisen Episode 17, Ranking of Kings Episode 21, and Chainsaw Man Episode 8 storyboard artist and episode director) taking over afterwards.
The first season of Jujutsu Kaisen ran from late 2020 to early 2021 for 24 episodes and was followed by the prequel movie Jujutsu Kaisen 0 in December 2021.

Jujutsu Kaisen is based on the manga by Gege Akutami, which was serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump from March 5, 2018 to September 30, 2024. A total of 30 tankobon volumes were released.
A four-chapter predecessor now known as Jujutsu Kaisen 0 was released in 2017 and was adapted into a 2021 anime film.
Viz Media releases the manga in English and describes the main premise as:
Although Yuji Itadori looks like your average teenager, his immense physical strength is something to behold! Every sports club wants him to join, but Itadori would rather hang out with the school outcasts in the Occult Research Club. One day, the club manages to get their hands on a sealed cursed object. Little do they know the terror they’ll unleash when they break the seal…
