They request a delay of the series, proper working conditions and reasonable deadlines.
Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen and has suffered a lot. People were pointing out weird things about its animation such as ghosting and shadowing almost immediately after it started airing. But a couple of months have passed, and the situation has taken a turn. MAPPA seems to provide terrible working conditions for its staff, and animators have spoken up.
Latest JJK episodes look unfinished
The latest episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen look unfinished and raw, and more and more fans are starting to notice it. The quality of the series is declining, and it’s even more upsetting now that such an important Jujutsu Kaisen arc is being animated.
The series itself, however, is not the only thing fans care about. They are worried about the animators and scared to even think of the crunch MAPPA’s staff is experiencing now. On top of overworking, they are facing the outrage of fans on various social media, and with an anime this huge, the pressure is immense. Animators’ health has truly become a worrisome issue, and people don’t think that things staying the way they are now would benefit anyone.
Fan petition to delay the series
A couple of weeks ago, a Jujutsu Kaisen fan created a Change.org petition to save the series and its animators from terrible working conditions and delay the production. Unreasonable deadlines that MAPPA sets for its team have been discussed by the fans before and they were terrified to learn that the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie took only about four months to get finished. It’s obvious that the series needs a delay.
Other projects are also in danger. The petition creator raises the question of the Chainsaw Man’s future. Since MAPPA is also working on this series, there are worries that it’ll affect the second season of the anime. It’s been a year, and we still haven’t heard anything about it.
The petition is addressed to Masao Maruyama and Manabu Otsuka, who are the founder and the CEO at MAPPA. And the main requests of it are to delay the Jujutsu Kaisen series, provide proper working conditions for the studio’s animators and set realistic time frames for series in the future.
The chances of this petition to get noticed by the MAPPA administration are pretty low for now, since there are less than 1000 users who have signed it. But people keep signing it, and if it receives the right attention, there will be hope. We’re sure that MAPPA is well aware of the social outrage that the production of Jujutsu Kaisen has caused, but there haven’t been any results yet. But who knows, maybe if the petition becomes more popular, MAPPA will finally have to react.
Fans can’t sit back anymore.
