The Best Anime of 2026 (So Far)
"The way that Jujutsu Kaisen animated the exchange was simply on another level. The team over at MAPPA used a technique called rotoscoping, where artists trace over live-action footage frame-by-frame to better capture realistic movements."
"It's clear how much time it took when you see where season 3 leaves off, as well. The latest 12-episode drop from the series about a cursed teenager and his pursuit to stop even greater curses from destroying Japan only covered around half as many chapters from the manga as the prior season."
Jujutsu Kaisen features a remarkable animated scene of two characters conversing, utilizing rotoscoping for lifelike movement. This technique enhances the realism of the animation, showcasing the dedication of the MAPPA team. The 2026 anime season also includes the start of One Piece's Elbaph arc, Netflix's adaptation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stell Ball Run, and new titles like Witch Hat Atelier and Mao. Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 continues to impress with its animation quality, covering fewer manga chapters to maintain high standards.
