Featured reviews
If you liked the first season of JJK, you'll probably like this movie. If you didn't like the first season of JJK, there's probably nothing here to convince you otherwise. That being said from some of the greatest animation studios MAPPA and Toho ,this movie raises the bar in many aspects during its runtime ,from the epic battles to the amazing soundtrack to some amazing heartwarming stories and cool characters with abilities that will melt your eyes out. A well-told story and neatly wrapped up by the time the credits role. It helps flesh out some of the backstory for Geto, one of the series' main antagonists, and of course Yuta, who reappears in the manga at a later date, but is by no means mandatory viewing to enjoy the rest of JJK.
One thing the film easily surpasses the original season with is the emotional moments. Connecting with the characters and their struggles seem much more real and causes much greater immersion. The less extreme personality of the main character, great music choice, and fluid animation make even the slow scenes feel meaningful. The story teaches us the what is love ,how it can be a curse and a power at the same time. All the characters have a deep effect on the progression of the story even though Yuta's development in the span of 1:45 minutes comes a bit fast it's still extremely satisfying seeing him grow.
The art and animation are a 10/10. Mappa doesn't fail to amaze me in everything they do.
Complimenting the great animation is the music. Each part of the OST accentuates the emotion of the scenes and really brings up the hype during the battle scenes.
Overall the movie is amazing and one of my all time favourites. If you haven't seen Jujutsu Kaisen then you might want to watch this film since this is a prequel to the main series. Don't even think before watching this, just do it. I honestly prefer the manga, but this was almost just as good and makes me anticipate S2 even more.

Ok so I just started watching JJK this week to prepare for the movie. However due to school, I haven't really been able to watch it and am only on episode 7 at the time I'm writing this. Coming out of my IMAX theater...
Let me tell you, this movie is super easy to follow, even just a few episodes wouldn't really make a difference. Give it a watch with friends or family (or both), and trust me they'll (probably and hopefully) love it too!
The movie is beautifully animated as well, with some of the best animation, cinematography, and choreography I've seen in anime. The movie also has it's funny moments here and there. I definitely recommend it to any new anime fan, anime fan in general, and friends who just wanna have a good time. MUST DO FOR JJK FANS! SEE IT IN THE THEATER IN IMAX!

I recently heard that Jujitsu Kaisen 0 has been shown in cinemas, after watching the movie, I have many words in my heart that I want to say, but I'll be short.
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 was a beautiful and interesting movie. I hope to see the second season soon. For the first time I see anime in the cinema. At the end of the movie there is an extra scene, but I didn't see it as significant or made me conclude that something was going to happen later. It didn't make sense and it was weird, at first we see a beautiful and bright opening scene of the movie with an opening song that was great. I want to talk about this scene because I loved it, and it turns out that this movie almost met expectations.
The events were very interesting and the way of the story was good, the characters were like the characters we saw earlier in the anime, but some new characters appeared, but the focus was more on the main character Yuta, I liked the character a lot and the voice performance of the character was excellent, I managed to empathize with the character's past , as well as the rest of the important characters such as Gojo, Toji, Maki and Panda, we had fun times with these characters and laughed sometimes and loved them a lot, and talking about the characters I'm talking about Gojo that he is very strong and the legend of the movie was always flashing lights, the main enemy and the owner of bad intentions was a very good character.
The production was flawless, the animation was perfect and the scenes were so amazing that my mind blew, the music helped a lot in creating a very emotional atmosphere especially in the movie. The studio did a lot in terms of production and music, and the songs were chosen very appropriately and sadly.
In the end, I enjoyed a lot watching the movie and lived very beautiful times that I will never forget, and it was a great experience, and I still listen to the songs that I heard in the cinema hall and remember the moments from the movie, even if you don't watch the anime, everyone can understand and enjoy the story of the movie regardless of its age.

MAPPA, Toho and Crunchyroll are one of the greatest animation studios of all time! Not only do they make successful movies, but the scenes are very heartwarming and emotional! These scenes never get old, the end of the movie made me cry tears of joy, too. I watched this movie on St. Patrick's Day on IMAX! Though the funny part was they screened the wrong movie, which was The Batman we saw 2 weeks ago. And This is why I am a big fan of anime, ever since 2013! And the best quote from Yuta was....
"Come out, Rika!"
Can't wait for more anime movies, even another Jujutsu Kaisen movie!

This movie was surprisingly good! Didn't know much about it other than what the trailers had spoiled! The story of Yuta and Rika was tragic and great at the same time! Really shows how twisted love can make you! It comes in many forms and lasts forever! The japanese VA for Yuta did a great job of translating the pain, frustration and regret, in his line-delivery! The stand out in the movie! Thanks to this you connect with Yuta very fast!
Other than a great story the animation was INCREDIBLE as well! Gave me goosebumps a couple of times! Multiple amazing fights!! Gojo saturo is a bad ass as you would expect! I am glad he gets a lot of screen-time!
Overall an amazing movie that can be enjoyed by those familiar with JJK already, or those who wants to check it out!
Excited for season 2 2023.
