| Great movie! Watched it a lot later than I'd have liked to, but gosh it has me hyped for the second season when it comes hopefully early next year! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| pretty good, yuuta kinda cute |
| It's a excellent movie! The animation is top just like the OST! Without forgetting the seiyū and emotion that goes with it, especially between Yūta and Rika! What a treat! I can't wait for the second season! |
| Wonder how strong he'll be in the future. I'm glad I saw Nanami in action. So Getou is still his bestfriend huh? Why they meet up with Miguel at the end though? Anyway good enough for me 7/10 |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| didnt like that the movie focused on a new character, id say the amazingly animated hand to hand combat scenes were the highlight, other than that it was quite forgettable 6/10 |
 |
| Great adaptation, not only they made justice to the original source, but they improved it a lot by adding some original scenes (indeed I was wondering which scenes they could add to make up to 1h 45m with only 4 chapters), with the direction, soundtrack and animation to embellish the whole. They even managed to make some scene (more) cathartic than in the source. Glad I read Volume 0 and soon after watched the Movie. 9/10. |

| liked the movie, but to me it was confuzzling. is this a filler like movie? ill play it safe and say it was since IDR if yuta was mentioned. yuta was a bit easier for most people to cheer on |
| anime/manga version of steam would be awesome - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1625396 |
| I watch so much anime, that sometimes it gets hard to hold my attention with stories, tropes, scenes but freaking this movie, all the action, characters just kept me hooked literally the entire 1 hour 45 min. So hyped for season 2 and totally didn’t know this movie was aired !! |
| I loved this movie. Art & aniimation was superb. Music too. Recommended for sure. |
| A true man never dies. |
| Basically the same thoughts as I had with the manga, really love the Okkotsu & Rika stuff, but so much of the runtime isn't about that so I don't really love the movie as a whole. I still really like the movie as a whole though, it's solid shonen. Not much more than that, but it doesn't need to be. I am in the camp that prefers Yuta to Yuji as a main character, he's more relatable and I think his relationship with Rika provides a stronger emotional hook than anything Itadori has, but I still like Jujutsu Kaisen proper so it's not a problem. Somewhat conflicted about the additions from the manga, adding in Ieiri, Nanami, Mei Mei, and that other guy whose name I can't remember and refuse to look up towards the diversions. On one hand, it's cool to have this prequel stuff be more connected with what the series would become because really, if you could have Nanami & Mei Mei on your side during Geto's attack, you would. But considering we know all these action sequences are just diversions, I didn't really find most of these compelling to watch, like they were just wasting time. Granted though, I think Mei Mei and Nanami's fight's were probably the sakuga highlights, so I think I lean towards liking it more than disliking it but yeah. And of course, Ieiri doesn't come off as anything more than a tease for Season 2, which is fine. Also, in comparison to the series, I felt the OST was a bit weaker here and I'm not sure I'd say the sakuga was that noticeably stronger than the best points of the anime series. It's been awhile since I watched the anime, but visually it didn't blow me away like I expected.Maybe it's just a casualty of how excellent the series itself looks. It's a small quibble since the movie stills looks great, but this did not feel like a big leap forward animation-wise which I expect for a movie. 7/10. |
| Really fun movie. The animation was obviously great. The character designs were pretty cool too. Gojo without the eye mask looked weird though. Maki's design looked amazing. So Geto is the main antagonist here and boy was he strong. I do agree with some of what he says. Obviously, due to superstition and orthodoxy, jujutsu sorcerers would be ostracised in some parts of the world. I'm not sure but I presume he was killed by Gojo in the end. So how tf did he reappear later on in the future i.e. the main series? Did he somehow survive? Or was he resurrected by someone? Maybe by Jogo or Mahito? I guess we'll get to know about it all in S2. Also, who was the foreigner rope guy? And why was he with Yuta in the end? Are they on friendly terms now or was Yuta trying to lure him out and capture him or smth? Yuta saying he'll give his all to Rika was so wholesome. Also, Rika's awakening was so damn good. The ost, the VA's performance, the animation, all of them were top notch. Nice prequel. 7/10 for me. |

| Episode 1 : The biggest problem with S1 was the ugly art direction. It's vastly improved here with the Bebop art director. The fight being short also helped in me really liking it as I wasn't a fan of the pacing of S1 either. I'm already loving this very much. Episode 2 : Mission with Inumaki this time and Yuta has learned few tricks of his own, the fx of the curse being imbued into the katana was cool. This part is also trying to set up Getou as well. Episode 3 : The jump in Okkotsu's character progression feels strangely big. I guess this is something that could have been flesh out more I stead of all the additional action they decided to include in the movie, although majority of the first half of the movie was more or less the training so not much you could do here I guess. Now, all it's left is the final fight. Episode 4 : Park's action boards are always very hard hitting, going to miss him on S2. Most of the stuff here were mainly action, nice to see a veteran from the 90s animating the final attacks of Yuta and Getou. The post-credit scene as was present in OP2.  7/10 |

| animation was nice, but other than that felt pretty meh characters other than Panda seemed shallow and I felt the whole time like there was no stakes |
| In response to darkia 1416 review: Warning, huge wall of text. Open at your own risk. |

| It was great but it felt too rushed and the plot itself wasn't that interesting Yuta is an amazing character though and I liked the fights + the animation was on point |
| Already one of my favourite movies. The pacing is so masterful, when you have these characters stories being set up and gradually leading to this giant conflict where all parties get involved. Everything wrapping up neatly and it doesn’t feel rushed to me which is often the case with battle movies. Animation and sound superbly done as well, new MC felt natural too. |
| Alright, finally have time watching this movie. Yuta is actually a better protagonist than Yuji... But I don't mind... Hope Yuta fight again on season 2. Rika is actually pretty in anime version... I do remember her manga art is actually not as cute as her anime appearance. It's cute though seeing she so jealous with Maki. Hehehe. So many characters appear in this movie! But it's suck to see those two villains sides girl doesn't have chance to show their power in this movie... And I am curious to see if the jujutsu driver actually can fight too. Suguru is dead? Is this the real Suguru? Then the 1st season Suguru is.. not him? Hope it's explain on the second season. Yuta with the foreign dude at the end... Wonder why~~ |
