After weeks of teasers and announcements, the Animation Jujutsu Kaisen Exhibition Malaysia is finally here at Fahrenheit88 in Kuala Lumpur!
SAYS was invited to its grand launch yesterday, 15 August, and we had an amazing time!
The entire experience takes about an hour to complete, depending on the crowd and how many photos and videos you want to capture.
There are over 100 exclusive exhibits imported from Japan, including life-sized character statues and paper manuscripts.
As anime fans, we constantly found ourselves admiring the sketch-to-anime panels displayed throughout the exhibition. The anime is produced by the revered MAPPA Studio, known for animating other popular series such as Attack On Titan and Chainsaw Man.
In the exhibition, we saw animatics displayed alongside the final anime scenes. As a person who truly admires the animation medium, I was in awe! My profound admiration for the animatics extended to the beautiful uncoloured sketches on paper manuscripts which, in my opinion, sometimes look even better than the final products we see in anime episodes.
We were unable to photograph the paper manuscripts up close, so you'll have to experience the exhibition yourself to appreciate how beautiful Itadori Yuji's character design is in some of the sketches.
However, I am allowed to show you the animatic and anime being displayed alongside one another:
Before reaching Satoru Gojo's statue, we encountered two infinity mirror rooms with key scenes from the anime displayed on a gigantic screen
These zones were an unexpected highlight for us. Our video producer, Anith, was determined to stay until she got a photo with Gojo in the background. We don't blame her, as we all secretly wanted more photos with him too.
After that, we finally got to the zone featuring Itadori Yuji, Sukuna, and Gojo's statues. All three life-size character models are very well-made, posing in their iconic stances for us to take photos with.
Gojo was displayed in a room with a projector illuminating different scenes from the anime, creating unique backgrounds for photo opportunities with one of Jujutseu Kaisen's strongest sorcerers, who looked different every time.
There are also four zones that bring the anime to life, as well as many cool character cutouts and wallpapers for you to take photos and videos with.
At the end of the exhibition, you will arrive at a merchandise store that has over 160 items imported from Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan
If you've ever wanted to purchase Jujutsu Kaisen merch but worried about authenticity, this official merchandise store is the perfect place to get your fix.
Anith got herself a T-shirt, a Suguru Geto stress ball, an acrylic standee, and more! Yes, she's a big fan.
The merch is fairly priced, with items starting as low as RM9.90.
Jujutsu Kaisen holds a special place in the hearts of many local anime and manga fans because, unlike most other anime, this series featured several locations in Malaysia. So, if you're a fan yourself, this is one exhibition you won't want to miss!
