Here\u2019s everything you need to know about it. There\u2019s no doubt that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 is one of the best anime series of 2023. The season adapts two arcs from the manga \u2013 both of which are incredibly popular among fans. Apart from the great storyline by Gege Akutami, the animation studio also plays a vital part in the series\u2019 success. The soundtracks, visuals, voice actors, and animators all contribute significantly to the series. However, MAPPA\u2019s poor working conditions are no secret in the anime community \u2013 so much so that the animators often post about it on Twitter. However, this time, the heat against MAPPA is more intense than ever as the production meltdown has put Jujutsu Kaisen\u2019s most popular arc, the Shibuya Incident, in jeopardy. Will the animation quality suffer due to the poor working conditions? Delve deeper to find out. Jujutsu Kaisen animators and fans bash MAPPA for poor working conditions After the controversial Season 2 Episode 14, Jujutsu Kaisen delivered spectacular episodes two weeks in a row. Season 2 is in a crucial phase right now, so all the upcoming episodes will feature major fights and plot twists.. While this week\u2019s episode is still looking good, the issue lies with what\u2019s coming after it. Animators are requesting an episode delay, but the production team has rejected them. One of the directors of Season 2, Kazuto Arai, shared: \u201cBad news has arrived, and I\u2019m suddenly overwhelmed. The most boring ending I can think of. Ah, the festival is over. Yes, disbanded and disbanded.\u201d The Sakuga blog writer also pointed out the issue: \u201cReminder that if you hire teams of young, materially ambitious creators because you want to exploit the bombastic appeal of their work, it\u2019s not their failing if it becomes impossible to comply with your studio\u2019s pathetic planning. *They* didn\u2019t doom the schedule. It already was.\u201d Additionally, according to a Reddit thread, several animators who openly called out the issue have deleted their posts. Naturally, the Jujutsu Kaisen community is displeased with the current situation. One of the popular quotes about the current controversy reads: \u201cIt\u2019s over for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 from Episode 18. The production committee denied a break, and a lot of animators are expressing their disappointment with their working conditions in MAPPA.\u201d One Twitter user also outlined the issue while sharing a post about MAPPA\u2019s CEO taking on more projects than the staff can handle. \u201cRead this comment that summarized the issues with MAPPA taking on so many simultaneous projects and really put the constraining timelines into perspective really well. Obviously, don\u2019t take this as fact since we are not privy to the details, but thought it was interesting to share.\u201d Another user wrote: \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen animators in such multitudes collectively complain this much about production, and that says a lot. The mismanagement at that company currently is laughable.\u201d Despite the recurring controversies, MAPPA has yet to address the complaints about its alleged working conditions.
