Jujutsu Kaisen is setting up for the end of Jujutsu Kaisen 0‘s run through theaters in Japan in the coming weeks, and the new star at the center of the film is reflecting on the feature film’s successful run so far! Gege Akutami‘s original manga series was already a massive success in its own right, but got even bigger thanks to the debut of its first anime season. This was soon followed up by a huge new feature film that went on to all kinds of box office success. With it had introduced fans to Yuta Okkotsu, and as a result had brought prominent star Megumi Ogata into the anime franchise too.
Ogata made their debut as Yuta during the events of Jujutsu Kaisen 0, but it might be a while before Yuta is featured in the anime once more. Speaking about the run of the movie as a whole, Ogata said the following about its success (as spotted and translated by @soukatsu_ on Twitter), “It’s been over five months since the premiere of the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie, but I’m surprised that so many people still go to watch it in cinemas–I’m so filled with so much gratitude that I can’t put it into words. There [is] only a limited time until the movie finishes its run in cinemas. I look forward to seeing everyone against as [Yuta Okkotsu] one day.”
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 will be wrapping up its theatrical run overseas soon, but there has yet to be any word on its home media release in Japan or in international territories as of this writing unfortunately. If you’re curious about how the movie turned out, you can find ComicBook.com’s review of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 here. Here’s an excerpt to get you started:”It’s an absolutely stunning work of animation that surpasses anything seen in the TV anime. It’s in everything from the lighting to the impressive fluidity in both the smallest character moments to the action sequences.
Each of those sequences is different in its own way as well, and are a feast for the eyes and ears. Both the casts of the Japanese and English dubbed audio (both of which were viewed for the purposes of this review) knock it out of the park in this regard, with Megumi Ogata and Kayleigh McKee serving as major standouts of each cast respectively. It feels like an elevated experience, and that’s hard to do with a TV series that’s already highly praised for these aspects.”
