Produced by TOHO animation and brought to life by the renowned MAPPA studio, the JuJutsu Kaisen anime series was based on the original manga from Gege Akutami. The manga that started it all was first published in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump, eventually leading to the anime’s premiere in October 2020. Since then, the series has accumulated immense popularity worldwide, becoming a pop culture phenomenon. In December 2023, the series concluded its second season and received the “Anime of the Year” award from the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, amongst other achievements. Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie marks the franchise’s first theatrical feature since JuJutSu Kaisen 0, which grossed over $188 million worldwide, and is the first new installment since the end of season two. This title is the very first from the franchise to be distributed by GKIDS.
