One Piece animator supports MAPPA amid new controversy CrunchyrollA One Piece animator has stepped forward to support MAPPA amid the latest controversy. MAPPA\u2019s biggest anime of 2023, Jujutsu Kaisen, made headlines for not only the beautiful anime adaptation but also the studio\u2019s alleged working conditions. The studio is infamous for accusations of overworking the animators, but the heat of the controversy particularly intense this time. One of the most renowned One Piece animators, Vincent Chandsard, also worked on Jujutsu Kaisen\u2019s Sukuna vs Mahoraga episode. Although the episode was well-received by fans, it shed light on MAPPA\u2019s tight schedule. The French animator\u2019s statement in his latest podcast has attracted a bit of attention amid so much backlash. While almost everyone supports Vincent\u2019s criticism, another One Piece animator, Mamoru Yokota, thinks otherwise. One Piece animator doesn\u2019t agree with Vincent Chandsard\u2019s MAPPA criticism Animators Dourian Coulon and Vincent Chansard recently attended a podcast where the latter commented: \u201cI don\u2019t want to support a company that ideologically doesn\u2019t care about working conditions. Go asked me, and I like working with him. He also doesn\u2019t want to work anymore for MAPPA.\u201d However, after the episode aired, he declared that he would not be working for MAPPA again. Vincent shared on X\/Twitter that he only reconsidered because of Hakuyu Go, another animator from the JJK team who also contributed to countless popular projects such as One Punch Man, Fate series, etc. In response to Vincent\u2019s statement, Mamoru Yokota posted: \u201cRegarding the declaration by overseas animators saying \u2018I won\u2019t work for this company anymore!\u2019 \u2013 while the work environment and such is one thing, how were the conditions when the work was first ordered? \u201cIf it met the expectations for the job, then isn\u2019t it the fault of the director, production, or production committee rather than the production company? If there was slashing of pay or delays or exploitation, then that\u2019s one thing, but otherwise\u2026\u201d In another post, Yokota wrote: \u201cIn countries where there is anime situation and support in other countries, there are many restrictions on the content, and you can\u2019t do what you want, so if you want to create a popular screen based on the original work, if you want to do a Japanese work, there are differences in national circumstances and financial situation. \u201cI have to think about it too. I\u2019m the standard! If you say so, why not start a company and use it as a banner for the working environment? I told someone else before, and they got angry.\u201d Contrary to Yokota, fans and animators are calling out the studio for their unreasonable work schedule. The Chief Animation Director of Jujutsu Kaisen 0, Terumi Niishi, called Vincent\u2019s statement \u201crefreshing\u201d and even wished more people in the anime industry to be like him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
