Jujutsu Kaisen Is the Perfect Series for an MLB Crossover

There’s No Bigger Genre in America than Shōnen and Jujutsu Kaisen Is One of the Best Around

Jujutsu Kaisen is the perfect anime series currently airing for an MLB collaboration. In America, there is no genre bigger than action-packed shōnen, and Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the best shōnen series of the new generation. There's even a hilarious baseball episode in Jujutsu Kaisen where students of Tokyo Jujutsu High take on their Kyoto counterparts. It's a hilarious game of baseball taken to an extreme in a way that Jujutsu Kaisen does best.

The Texas Rangers chose a good series to collaborate with for their amazing jerseys when they take on the Baltimore Orioles on July 1st. It's a special-edition jersey that fans can only get at the Rangers' Jujutsu Kaisen night with a theme night ticket.

The MLB has been doing a lot with anime this year, like exciting Heroes of the Game anime project with artists who have worked on series like One Piece and Fullmetal Alchemist as well.

Anime Collaborations Are the Future

Jujutsu Kaisen’s Collab Is Only One of What Will Be Many

From Solo Leveling's appearance in a Bleacher Report video about Cooper Flagg and the NBA, anime has been popping up in more American media than ever. It's an exciting time to be an American anime fan, as the art form is gaining more mainstream appeal than ever.

Anime has only been in America for a few decades, and the past 10 years have seen Japanese animation explode in popularity in the West. These collaborations both prove how popular anime is becoming and add to its popularity, as they work to share anime's appeal with a much larger audience. Attack on Titan is a staple of anime's success over the past decade, and their recent Global Impact Award from Crunchyroll proves it.
