As a sucker for the Jujutsu Kaisen series I wasn't really surprised with the fact that I enjoyed the movie as well.
Today I went to see the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie in my local cinema. I saw it with a couple of friends and we could all agree that the movie was very good. The subtitles were in my native language which made it a bit weird to watch since every anime I watch has English subtitles but it didn't ruin the movie. Also when there was an explanation for a time jump it wasn’t translated so that was quite confusing the first time
...
it happened.
Overall it was a good story, it still is shounen so the story wasn't that difficult to understand. I liked the way how they ended the movie, I don't want to spoil the readers of this review so I won't go into the ending and story any deeper. (Story 8/10)
The art and animation were great in this movie, as usually studio MAPPA doesn't disappoint. As they did with the series the art and animation was outstanding. The fight scenes were amazing as they should be in an action movie. The background art made me feel like I was in a Makoto Shinkai movie from time to time. (Art 9/10)
The sound was used very well. The opening didn’t really feel like you typical anime opening which is normal since it was a movie, the ending was solid as well. The insert music in fight scenes were on point and really made it feel a lot more epic. It was a bit loud at times but again this was the fault of the cinema were I watched and not of the movie itself. (Sound 8/10)
I think characters in Jujutsu Kaisen are written pretty good, the mc is a nice new addition to a cast of already great characters. He shows a lot of development in the movie and it was nice to see his interactions with Panda, Zenin and Inumaki. Especially the interactions with Maki Zenin were great, from not being accepted in her family which we knew already in the series she developed to a person were new students can look up to. This was something I also noticed in the series with Yuji and Nobara showing their appreciation for her. For Yuuta I want to say that they did a very good job, I won’t go into it very deeper as it will reveal a part of the story. It was also nice to see some characters I didn’t expect. (Character 9/10)
I really enjoyed this movie the pacing was really good and it had some little gags which weren’t comedic masterworks but they made the movie extra enjoyable. As I said earlier I was a sucker for the series so I really enjoyed watching this movie, especially with friends as it was also my first time to see an anime movie in cinemas. (Enjoyment 9/10)
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 was a movie with a high enjoyment, some amazing fight scenes and minor flaws. I was very lucky to be able to see this movie in my local cinemas with a group of friends. I liked Jujutsu Kaisen the series really hard an I thought this movie was equally enjoyable, because of this my overall rating is 9/10.
