Jujutsu Kaisen 0

The movie was just ok, not worth a theater visit probably good to watch at home. It just suffers from poor pacing which cascades into all other key factors. Most characters/abilities aren't explained or talked about at all so it's surprising many people say the movie is good for people who've never watched the anime or read the manga. There was never a feeling of progression within the movie as each plot point quickly jumped to another plot point via black screen as soon as it was finished. It didn't feel like a blend flowing from scene to scene but more of a check list to get a finished movie. Animation as well was what you'd expect from MAPPA to deliver in the anime. It wasn't out of the park like Ufotable in the demon slayer movie it just served it's purpose. My expectations might've just been to high but I left the theater feeling unrewarded for the time.

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!

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!

There's no curse more twisted than love.

Let's get the obvious out of the way: the animation was still god-tier. The second half when users fought was where the movie shined the most.

Another plus was Suguru. He was a great menace just like how he was hinted at in the anime series. He's a bit typical for a supervillain in his philosophy, but I still want to see more of him.

However, there's some major problems. First of all, the main character had very little time for development. He basically became super strong in a couple of finger snaps. His curse and background was interesting tho. I wanted more time between him and Gojo to make him more than just another crybaby.

Gojo is not a main character, but again I wanted more of him. I waited for that Ryoiki Tenkai: Muryo Kusho but didn't get it.

Now even though the fight animation was good, I still yearned for a lot more. The fight at the school was the only one that I cared, while the others were too short (Nanami was still hella cool).

Overall, I still had an enjoyable time. 7/10.
