The Jujutsu Kaisen production controversy keeps impacting the quality of the series.
The staff should have spent more time on Episode 17.
Animators are trying their best, and fans appreciate that.
After all the production drama that follows Jujutsu Kaisen each step of the way, viewers were pretty worried about the upcoming episodes. MAPPA’s absolute disrespect for the animators has attracted a lot of attention in the past few weeks, and the situation reached its peak a couple of days ago when the staff started to actively speak up about the working conditions at the studio on social media.
Working conditions at MAPPA are quite disturbing
Jujutsu Kaisen fans were and still are extremely concerned about the state of MAPPA and their animators. Horrible deadlines that the staff is forced to meet surprised the audience to no end. And the declining quality of the animation raised a question of the studio's need for a delay.
The new episode is out and available online now, and fans can’t help but be upset. They are not angry at the animators this time, though, new details on the production controversy made them side with the staff. Fans are sympathetic, and they still want to thank the animators for everything they’ve done despite working under immense pressure.
The new episode is unfinished
All the countless Twitter threads about Episode 17 seem to have one idea in common: the episode is unfinished. Fans don’t necessarily dislike the episode (and some even say that it’s their favorite one in the season so far), but they cannot hide their disappointment. The manga arc that’s being currently adapted is one of the most crucial ones, and the expectations are enormous, so it’s just upsetting that MAPPA’s issues are spoiling this experience.
The episode is fairly inconsistent. Certain parts of it look phenomenal, but then minutes go by and a completely broken frame is on your screen. Viewers are experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions, and not because of the actual story, but due to their worries about the possible future of the anime.
A number of fans go as far as to say that the episode should never have been aired. It’s flawed and definitely needs more time to be finished, it’s full of incredible ideas that weren’t realized.
However, the episode is filled with heart. The staff managed to pull it off despite the terrible deadline and conditions, and we cannot ignore that. Animators’ passion is the only way that still keeps Jujutsu Kaisen going, and fans are thankful for their work. But it’s time to admit that the series needs to be delayed, and the animators are in need of a break, or we fear that the consequences will become inevitable.
