Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 encounters production challenges, drawing attention from both animators and fans who collectively criticize MAPPA for its hectic schedule. The anime, considered one of the top series in 2023, adapts two highly popular manga arcs. Despite the compelling storyline by Gege Akutami, the animation studio’s role in the series’ success is crucial, encompassing soundtracks, visuals, voice actors, and animators. MAPPA’s notorious working conditions, often highlighted by animators on social media, have become a well-known aspect within the anime community.
This time, the backlash against MAPPA is particularly intense, as the ongoing production breakdown poses a threat to Jujutsu Kaisen’s most acclaimed arc, the Shibuya Incident. Concerns arise about potential compromises in animation quality due to the challenging working conditions. A closer examination is necessary to understand the impact of the production meltdown on the series.

Following the controversial Season 2 Episode 14, Jujutsu Kaisen rebounded with two consecutive spectacular episodes. The current phase of Season 2 is crucial, featuring significant fights and plot twists in upcoming episodes. While the immediate episode looks promising, concerns arise about subsequent episodes. Animators are requesting a delay, which the production team has rejected.
Kazuto Arai, one of the directors for Season 2, expressed disappointment: “Bad news has arrived, and I’m suddenly overwhelmed. The most boring ending I can think of. Ah, the festival is over. Yes, disbanded and disbanded.” The Sakuga blog writer highlighted the problem, emphasizing that ambitious young creators cannot be blamed if the studio’s planning is inadequate.
According to a Reddit thread, animators openly addressing the issue have deleted their posts. The Jujutsu Kaisen community is discontent with the current situation. A popular quote states, “It’s over for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 from Episode 18. The production committee denied a break, and many animators are expressing disappointment with working conditions at MAPPA.”
A Twitter user shared concerns about MAPPA’s CEO taking on excessive projects, leading to constraining timelines. They emphasized the challenges faced by the staff, acknowledging the comment as a perspective on the issues, though not confirmed as factual.
