As a major treat for anime fans across the U.S. and
Canada
, the much-waited Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – Movie has officially been announced for the North American theatrical release. The film is adapted from the globally famous dark fantasy anime series Jujutsu Kaisen. The movie will hit the cinemas starting July 16, 2025, with both Japanese and English-dubbed versions.
The movie is distributed by
GKIDS
, this feature-length movie is a special compilation of the Hidden Inventory / Premature Death arc, which captured the viewers during the first half of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. This arc shows the deeply emotional and action-packed backstory of two core characters—Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto—before their fates split differently and they became enemies. For longtime fans, this theatrical release is more than just a simple recap; it's a polished, cinematic experience that digs deep into the roots of the series' most complex relationship.
Arc that redefined Jujutsu Kaisen universe
The Hidden Inventory / Premature Death arc takes place a decade before the current events of the series, which offers a rare look into Gojo and Geto's time as students at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Both are tasked with protecting Riko Amanai, the Star Plasma Vessel, from powerful enemies—including one of the fan-favorite villain Toji Fushiguro—this mission puts the two young sorcerers to confront the dark outcome of their roles in the Jujutsu world.
The film stitches together the first five episodes of Season 2, remastered with cinematic sound design and an exclusive acoustic version of 'Where Our Blue Is' by Tatsuya Kitani, giving fans a fresh emotional experience. From intense fights to tragic turning points, the movie dives into the emotional and philosophical conflicts that eventually turn Suguru Geto from a trusted friend into the antagonist he becomes in Jujutsu Kaisen 0.

Fans familiar with the series will especially appreciate the deeper context this arc provides. It redefines the audience's understanding of Gojo's aloof yet protective personality, and casts a tragic light on Geto's descent into extremism. Their friendship—and its unraveling—serves as one of the most heartbreaking and impactful stories in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe.
GKIDS teams up with Jujutsu Kaisen for U.S. theatrical release
According to GKIDS, this decision reflects a commitment to delivering emotionally resonant, high-caliber anime experiences to North American audiences. 'The emotional storytelling, stunning animation, and psychological depth of this arc deserved to be brought to the big screen,' a spokesperson stated in a recent release. The film will screen in major theaters across the U.S. and Canada, with dates staggered throughout July.
Anime fans have responded with overwhelming excitement, with many praising the decision to highlight this particular arc. Unlike traditional recap movies, this compilation offers not just reanimation and editing but a more atmospheric sound mix, pacing refinement, and contextual weight that makes it feel like a standalone experience. For those who experienced the arc on television, this movie offers a second chance to appreciate its craft on a cinematic scale.
The timing of this release also helps build momentum as fans look ahead to the continuation of the Shibuya Incident and beyond in Season 3 of the anime, which is currently in production. With the manga still ongoing and consistently ranking among Japan's top-selling series, Jujutsu Kaisen remains one of the most important and influential titles of the decade.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie opens in North American theaters on July 16, 2025. Tickets are expected to go on sale by early July via GKIDS and major cinema chains.

Nutella unveils its first-ever new flavor in 60 years: Here's when it will hit U.S. shelves
Nutella is making history with the launch of its first-ever new flavor in six decades. Since debuting in 1964, the beloved hazelnut spread has become a household favorite worldwide, known for its signature taste and loyal fan base. Despite its massive popularity, Nutella has never officially launched a new flavor—until now, marking a major moment for the iconic brand. Also Read: Hooters announces shutdown of over 30 restaurants: See full list of which locations closed In a press statement earlier this week, Ferraro, the parent company, revealed a new Peanut Nutella flavor. The company called the new flavour 'a bold yet natural evolution for a product rooted in tradition but ready to surprise,' adding that it 'combines the distinctive creaminess of Nutella cocoa hazelnut spread with the delicious taste of roasted peanuts,' as reported by the Daily Mail. The Chicago Tribune revealed that the production of the new product will also begin in the US at its Franklin Park and Ferraro will 'invest $75 million in the plant'. This will also generate new job opportunities. Seth Gonzalez, Nutella's senior director of marketing, clarified that the new product should not be mistaken for peanut butter. He told Tribune, 'We didn't want it to be another peanut butter; there's a reason why cocoa is still connected as a peanut-and-cocoa formula, instead of just peanuts.' Also Read: One Piece LEGO sets inspired by live-action series officially revealed: Release date, preorders, and full set list The new Nutella spread is set to hit U.S. store shelves by spring 2026—but there's a catch. Despite global excitement, the new flavor will be available exclusively in the United States. Michael Lindsay, who is the President and Chief Business Officer of Ferrero North America, shared, 'Developing Nutella and Ferrero Rocher products specifically for the North American market represents a defining moment in our company's history,' as reported by the Daily Mail. He added that these new products are designed to connect with both 'loyal fans' and 'new consumers', strengthening Ferrero's leading position in North America

Netflix is removing Sailor Moon Crystal — watch it before it's gone!
One of Netflix's most iconic anime titles, Sailor Moon Crystal, is leaving the platform soon — and fans have just weeks left to watch it. Whether you're a longtime anime fan or someone who's only just learned about Sailor Moon, this is tremendous news. Sailor Moon is arguably one of the most iconic anime franchises of all time, and Sailor Moon Crystal is the acclaimed re-imagining that introduced the timeless magical girl tale to an entirely new generation. Unfortunately, that reboot is now set to leave Netflix. When is Sailor Moon Crystal leaving Netflix? Netflix has confirmed that they will be dropping Sailor Moon Crystal after July 1, 2025 at the latest. That makes June 30 your last opportunity to stream all three seasons of this iconic anime on the service. This removal is an early victim of Netflix's regular licensing removal rotations, where the show is removed when their licensing contracts expire. It's a huge let down for diehards, too, considering that Sailor Moon Crystal is largely responsible for bringing countless new eyes to the Sailor Moon universe. What is Sailor Moon Crystal about? For those who are new to the world of Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon Crystal is a more accurate retelling of the classic 90s anime adapted from Naoko Takeuchi's iconic manga. It centers on a teenage girl named Usagi Tsukino, who magically metamorphoses into the titular defender of love and justice, Sailor Moon. Along with her fellow Sailor Guardians, she fights against the forces of darkness in search of the Legendary Silver Crystal. Crystal's departure from it in terms of story and characterization largely came from the fact that it follows the manga more closely. Though the film's distinctive animation style was widely panned at the time of its release, producers found their footing by incorporating more dynamic storytelling in later episodes and films. Netflix losing anime licenses is becoming more common Netflix has invested both money and time in establishing its anime library with exclusive licenses and original productions. In recent months it's become more evident to fans when major/important anime titles slip away from the service unnoticed. Death Note, Hunter x Hunter, and now Sailor Moon Crystal — all these exits paint a picture of Netflix either shifting their anime strategy, or being bested by competitors such as Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Disney+. Can you still watch Sailor Moon Crystal anywhere else? Oh, and guess what? While Sailor Moon Crystal is dropping from Netflix, fans can still catch the beloved anime on the following platforms: Crunchyroll Hulu Pluto TV (Free with ads) That means you won't lose access entirely — you'll find it elsewhere — but it is an incredibly annoying shuffling around of assets for Netflix subscribers who like having everything in one place. Will the Sailor Moon movies stay on Netflix? If that's making your blood boil, here's some good news: The two follow-up films — Sailor Moon Eternal and Sailor Moon Cosmos — will still be on Netflix. These films adapt the last arcs of the reimagined storyline and act as the end of Sailor Moon Crystal. Without access to the original three seasons, there's a good chance that new viewers will have a tough time keeping up with the story of these movies. That's why you should binge Sailor Moon Crystal while it's still on the platform this June. Why you should watch Sailor Moon Crystal If you've previously been curious about Sailor Moon Crystal, there's no better moment to jump in on this fresh new interpretation. Whether you're revisiting childhood memories or meeting the series for the first time, this anime is sure to hit you with some amazing messages of friendship, love and courage. Plus, at just three seasons, it's the perfect short order series to check out before the clock runs out. June 30 is the last day to stream Sailor Moon Crystal on Netflix After that, it's history—for Netflix, at least. So if you want to catch all the magic that was in the beginning of this iconic Sailor Moon story before jumping into the Netflix-exclusive films, be sure to start streaming today!
