Well, I have seen Jujutsu Kaisen, but as the manga for this film was written before Jujutsu Kaisen manga, and it also is a prequel to JJK, I was wondering whether it can be watched before JJK anime or not.

परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् ।
धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे ॥४-८॥

yeah it can, if you want to go watch it with someone who has not seen jjk they will understand the story. It's not a demon slayer situation

SAO is underrated.

It contains very small spoilers so I guess you can watch it first

It can, but the story is 100 times better with context for a lot of the characters are from the first season and don’t get extra backstory for the most part

won't suggest it. It's the main story that introduces the characters and the power system, so I advice to watch it after season 1. There are some references of the movie in main story, but they won't hinder the story.

Unequivocally yes, but I don't think watching the main series first has(or will once this is out) hindered anyone's experience.

It can. Still your own judgement in terms of starting it.

yes, they'll adapt volume 0, wich is a prequel to the original jjk story, but the story would have more impact if you know about yuuta's existence before watching the movie

Yes obviously, but it can be a bit context less. Like you maybe confused about how the Jujutsu world works and what are curses etc. Other than that everything's fine if you can wait for that context (which is in the anime).

Yes absolutely. I read volume 0 (what this movie is adapting) after I’ve seen the anime, and its, well sure I guess meant to be seen before, but it’s also a prequel and which was not adapted before the jjk anime, which means it can definitely be seen after. But however if you are reading ahead in the manga, I really do recommend reading volume 0 or waiting for the movie to release before continuing the actual jjk manga, or else it could be confusing who yuta okkotsu is. And he will be a huge part in the story. It’s a good and enjoyable volume so I do recommend reading even if u do not want to read to original manga. It has 4 chapters which will take you about 1 hour or 2 to finish all of them.

Yes...actually it's based on the prequel manga but it would help to watch the series first....but not a necessity

Actually one-shot that this movie is based on came out before the manga, so it should be even better to start with this. (however, it depends on how they will adapt it, anyway watching one or another will probably make no difference)

As long as you watch it before Season 2, it should be fine whether you start with Season 0 or Season 1 first.

The prequel in this case preceeded JJK serialization wise, so yes it would make more sense to see it first BUT they'll probably add tons of extra details from the anime to tie them together even more. So really, it'll probably be a good experience whichever way someone decides to watch the movie.
