Jujutsu Kaisen season two is truly the talk of the town in 2023! People can’t get enough of that epic storyline and eye-catching battle scenes.
It’s so popular that it earned numerous nominations at the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards.
However, like anything that becomes big, there are some bumps along the way. Some animators have protested against Mappa, the studio behind this magic.
However, there was one animator who actually stood up for Mappa instead of joining the complaining crowd.
This animator, who worked on part two, basically said,
“Yeah, it was difficult. The workload is crazy and the pay isn’t great. But hey, compared to some gigs in America, it’s not that bad. And I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of something as great as Jujutsu Kaisen.”
However, it’s not just Mappa. The entire anime industry has problems with how they treat their animators.
As for the content of Jujutsu Kaisen season two, produced by Mappa, it delves into the Hidden Inventory arc and the Shibuya arc, which many consider the pinnacle of the series.
These arcs mark important turning points in the plot, propelling it into a narrative trajectory of no return.
This season deftly navigates the complexities of these arcs, from the introduction of characters like Toji to the climactic sealing of Gojo.
Its action-packed sequences and narrative depth cemented its reputation as one of the best anime seasons to date, despite the limitations the animators faced.
Looking ahead, anticipation for a third installment is palpable, with production already underway and a trailer confirming its existence.
However, an official release date has yet to be announced, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the Jujutsu Kaisen saga.
