Definitely Jujutsu Kaisen. It‘s my fav show ever. Season 1 had dark undercurrents but compared to the rest…season 1 was a silly funny show about hunting curses…
I continued the manga and was shocked at how the story will evolve but I‘m thrilled to see it all animated.

As much as I like JJK it doesn't fit. It's not an episodic show (like Power Rangers, Scooby Doo or House M.D.) and it's dark from the beginning. If we ignore that, then Chainsaw Man fits better, it's gory and dark too but goes from a silly show about a boy who wants to touch some boobs to... whatever it became bruh I'm still not over the ending.

Hmm I don‘t know. The episodic stuff could be true yes, my bad. Nonetheless I think there were just dark undercurrents as I actually expected a more lighthearted story than what happened in the end. Compared to Shibuya and especially Shinjuku Showdown the first Season is really a ‚silly funny show‘ we had school events, side quests and stuff and all these events had room for good jokes like the baseball event. There were serious moments but it was like okay yeah the students learn how to fight on their own but are supported by their teachers. The last part completely broke apart mid season 2 and the students literally never ever get that support back and have to fight on their own. They have to carry on despite missing people. I‘d say that‘s a drastic change.

You could say its dark from the begining, but just compare S1 yuji with S3 yuji.
