One major recent anime movie release has now been certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes! Anime and manga fans have probably noticed that in just the last few years alone, the popularity of the mediums has exploded tremendously around the world. This has been especially true for some of the biggest feature film releases as well. Not only have many of these new anime movies broken all sorts of box office records with just their run in Japan alone, but each of them has been able to continue that success in new ways with their international releases as well. Helping this along is the fact that they have been well received by both fans and critics alike.
Following Jujutsu Kaisen 0‘s release in domestic theaters earlier this year, the feature film enjoyed a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes for quite a while. Unfortunately that perfect 100% is no longer apt as more reviews for the film have rolled in, but its current standing is not that bad either as Jujutsu Kaisen 0 has been officially certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 98% score with critics (with 40 reviews counted at the time of this writing) and a 98% rating with audiences (with over 2,500 reviews catalogued so far). The official Twitter account for the franchise is celebrating too! Check it out below:

If you’re curious as to what to expect from the movie before checking it out for yourself, 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.”
Jujutsu Kaisen is currently working on its return for Season 2 some time next year, but what do you think? How do you feel about Jujutsu Kaisen 0 being certified fresh with Rotten Tomatoes?
