15 Best Anime Tie-In Movies Of All Time

15. Jujutsu Kaisen 0

Jujutsu Kaisen is well and truly on its way to being a top spot contender in anime. This prequel film is a testament to that, as it only released about a month ago but is already doing gangbusters. It's even sitting pretty in the top ten highest-grossing Japanese films of all time. Not bad for a newcomer.

The movie takes place before the events of the series and tells the story of Yuta Okkotsu's plunge into the world of Jujutsu High School. Here, he seeks to gain control of the cursed spirit of his childhood friend, Rika Orimoto.

Delving into the past for this film was a smart call, as it gave plenty of chances to flesh out the world. It also added plenty of depth to Gojo and delivered on a fantastic protagonist in Yuta. His tragic circumstances and the emotion of his grief were handled with nuance and care, making this a very touching movie.

Besides that heartfelt story comes some, expectedly, pulse-pounding action. It's filled from top to tail with awesome monster designs and well-animated fight scenes. So overall, you get the best of both worlds here, with emotional storytelling and a fun time to boot.
