A few thoughts on JUJUTSU KAISEN: Execution
Fans chasing the same cursed-energy adrenaline should read My Hero Academia, another shonen where students train to fight monsters the adults cannot handle. Death Note shares the moral rot and supernatural dread. For sound that matches the darkness, Symphonic Suite AKIRA scores the same kind of urban apocalypse.
Recent anime movies that turn a hit TV arc into one theatrical event
Execution recuts the Shibuya Incident into one theatrical package and immediately opens the Culling Game, the same trick these recent releases pull off elsewhere. Jujutsu Kaisen's own Hidden Inventory film, Kaiju No. 8's Mission Recon, Attack on Titan's The Last Attack, and Solo Leveling -ReAwakening- all compress a season's momentum into a single sitting built for maximum spectacle.
Demon Slayer's own arc-by-arc theatrical cuts, the same recap trick as this film
MAPPA's Execution turns Shibuya into a trapped, curse-ridden battlefield the same way Demon Slayer keeps recutting its television arcs into theatrical events. The Mugen Train, Mt. Natagumo, Hashira Meeting, Asakusa, Sibling's Bond, and Infinity Castle films all take a TV arc's fights and quiet character beats and rebuild them for the big screen, one arc at a time.
Anime where an entire city turns into the battlefield
Shibuya turns into the whole fight once the veil drops, civilians and all, matching the claustrophobic scale these anime chase. Attack on Titan's Crimson Bow and Arrow, Wings of Freedom, and The Roar of Awakening trap ordinary people inside a monster-plagued city, while Evangelion and Devilman push their own metropolis to the edge of total collapse.
Cursed power and reality-bending sorcery in fantasy anime and manga
Gojo and Yuta's sorcery bends reality around Shibuya, and these anime and manga chase that same sense of power warping the world. Fullmetal Alchemist trades curses for alchemy, Saint Seiya arms its heroes with cosmic armor, Vampire Hunter D and X: The Movie soak their action in gothic dread, and Fate/Grand Order stages its magic on a mythic scale.
