A tweet by animator HoneHone suggests that MAPPA continues to push unreasonable deadlines because Jujutsu Kaisen 0 was finished within four months. Fans discuss.
Summary
With Jujutsu Kaisen 0 finished within an unreasonable deadline of four months, animator HoneHone on Twitter calls MAPPA out for trying to make such deadlines the new norm.
Fans compare MAPPA to Madhouse. According to them, MAPPA was supposed to be a refuge for the people tired from Madhouse’s treatment. However, it turned out to be even more controversial than Madhouse.
Fans are mostly on HoneHone’s side.
MAPPA is responsible for a lot of popular titles, which makes it difficult to boycott. While the studio earns money, the executives are unlikely to listen to people like HoneHone.
MAPPA
MAPPA was created by Masao Maruyama, who had also been Madhouse’s co-founder. Fans believe that MAPPA was meant to be a refuge for the specialists, especially animators, who had suffered unfair conditions while working at Madhouse.
Despite that, MAPPA is notorious for its poor working conditions. The 12-year-old studio has been accused of offering low wages and taking on too many projects at once. Additionally, fans believe that there are non-disclosure agreements, which make it difficult for employees to speak out. Overall, MAPPA has a pretty bad reputation.
At the same time, it is famous for quite impressive works. That includes Jujutsu Kaisen 0, a 104-minute movie produced in four months. It is that victory that, according to HoneHone, cemented in the minds of MAPPA’s managers the idea of making unreasonable deadlines work.
The Tweet
HoneHone’s tweet is short and to the point, stating that while Jujutsu Kaisen 0 was successfully finished within 4 months, it was difficult to do. HoneHone blames Jujutsu Kaisen 0 for the executives who try to impose shorter deadlines on animators. HoneHone wants schedules improved so that the deadlines are not so tight.
Do you think that four months is an unreasonable deadline for a 104-minute film?
Fans
Anime fans overwhelmingly support HoneHone’s viewpoint. They believe that MAPPA is being unethical in creating such short deadlines, and they are sure that it is done for money. While animators are paid based on the amount of work performed, there are other workers involved, and shorter deadlines mean less money paid to them.
Unfortunately, MAPPA is responsible for very important titles, for example, Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, and Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill (Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi). That makes the studio difficult to boycott, and it doesn't seem like MAPPA managers listen to HoneHone or any of the other employees while they are making money from their unethical practices.
