JUJUTSU KAISEN 0 Film Review March 13, 2022 Eclectic Arts
JUJUTSU KAISEN 0
TOHO Animation
Reviewed: 3/13/2022
Rating: 4.5 / 5
The dark fantasy film from TOHO Animation will be available in both English dub and subtitled and will arrive in more than 1500 theaters nationwide on March 18th. The film will also be released in select U.S. based IMAX® theaters. For more information, visit https://www.crunchyrollmovienight.com/
The new animation film, ”Jujutsu Kaisen 0” comes with much acclaim and box office credentials preceding it. A massive hit in Japan where it was released just before the Christmas 2021 holiday, the film makes its way to U.S. theaters this Friday March 18th.
If you already know the background behind the film, then you already have your ticket and are eagerly awaiting its theatrical release here in the U.S. If you’re like me and have zero knowledge of anime, manga, or the film’s origins, then you’re in for a treat.
For the uninitiated, the film’s animation and CGI work is just plain overwhelming at times in a good way. There is so much to take in that it really takes repeated viewings or showings to catch all the details of both the story and the visuals.
Without giving too much away, the basic premise is a high school student Yuta Okkotsu is haunted by the apparition Rika Orimoto. Yuta enrolls in the mysterious high school Jujutsu High where he develops self-confidence and that all may not be as it seems.
There are of course a million more details than that but, “Jujutsu Kaisen 0” really needs to be experienced rather than to be read about online.
One aspect that struck this genre newbie is that I was amazed at just how many layers of sub context was woven into the storyline. There is a lot to think about and I feel many animated films don’t get the credit they’re due for this fact. And this film has even more layers of morality, life choices, and brain fodder than the average animated film.
Do your due diligence and learn which version is showing in your theater - the English dubbed or the subtitled original Japanese language film. Personally I always watch the subtitled version of any film as I want to hear the original language as it was intended but to each his own.
One thing is for sure - “Jujutsu Kaisen 0” is one heck of a ride!
