Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death - The Movie

Extra details, scenes, and just being in the theater with the surround sound systems was a different experience.

The animation on the big screen was just to die for, it was amazing and beautiful. I'm pretty sure some scenes were even reanimated or polished. The music might be a bit different, but there for a fact is a different version of a song that appears. So definitely give it a watch if you are interested in the technical side.

Despite what some say about the series, I'm glad this got a theatrical release, always loved this story arc. Warms and breaks my heart every time.

Also I cried like a little baby at the end of the movie, go watch and you'll see what I mean, haha.

This movie is from the anime series of Season 2's 1st part of the arc about Suguru Geto & Satoru Gojo along with Shoko Ieiri during their school days + working to exorcise demons. It started with young Mei Mei and Utahime Iori working in an abandoned castle-building. Then it continued to keeping Riko Amanai safe until she merges with Tengen. Characters like Toji, Yu Haibara, Nanami, Yuki, etc appeared.

After watching Demon Slayer 2025's movie, this JJK movie feels lacking, art is simple, editing is choppy and transitions are not smooth. It was amazing when I watched the anime series. So I was a bit disappointed and wished they had done a better job to make this more suitable as a movie. Since it's less than 2hrs, some scenes are shortened while some are cut. If you hadn't watched the anime before, I think it would be confusing as there is no explaination of the linkage between the characters.

The additional stuff in the movie is at the end where there are pictures of the friends. For ppl who had finished the manga, then this movie will feel nostalgic or even painful.

The movie achieved its goal, a recapped and mostly reanimated version. The added atmosphere from being in a movie theatre definitely improves the experience. However other than that it's a recap. Nothing mind blowing but nothing sub par by far. If you're a first time watcher of the show and you haven't gotten to this arc yet, I don't know if I'd tell you to watch this first. A lot of parts that give everything impact are rushed but this is obviously due to it being a movie. There's also some strange decisions made with greying out certain violent scenes, however I don't think that's anything substantial and mostly nitpicking. If you want a condensed, reanimated version of this arc, and also want that same movie experience, this is for you. If you want slower pacing, watch the show's season of it first.

If you've watched the tv version, you would find it just being a repeat here. I honestly cannot tell the difference in animation. A bit of a let down because it's like a literal rewatch but in cinema.

It's really for those who hasn't seen the anime especially season 2. For me, I got nothing new out of this. In fact, JJK 0 was better.

I'm actually happy I got to see anime in cinemas again. I really love JJK and being able to experience it on the big screen is something I can really be glad of. The animation itself and the art was really good (it's MAPPA after all) and I also liked that there were less soundtracks played in this movie than in Season 2 of JJK.

The reason I'm not rating this a 10/10 though is because that this movie is a compliation of the first five episodes of Season 2, making the content of this movie nothing special at all. Sure, there were some extra scenes which made the movie more theatrical, but you can really just watch the show instead for the same portion of content.

I would recommend watching this movie for everyone who'd really like to experience anime on the big screen. That said, watching the first five episodes of JJK Season 2 is also an option :)
