For a few months now, Mappa has been the center of controversy as numerous animators are coming up with accusations against the animation studio one after another. Mappa’s horrible work schedule that Mappa subjects its employees to was the primary allegation brought against it.
Fans have requested Mappa to slow down the episode and delay Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 if needed. However, other parties involved in the production committee, such as Sheuisha and TOHO, would have to agree to the postponement together. Furthermore, there would be a dramatic rise in production costs associated with rescheduling a time slot, re-executing marketing, investing in commercials, and releasing Blu-Ray Discs.
There have been several allegations raised against Mappa, and recent tweets from a handful of the animators have concerned the fans. Fans are worried about the mental health of these animators and are pleading with Mappa to give their employees a well-deserved rest. This isn’t a new issue in the industry, but defying these established conventions, which are creating a toxic work environment, is.
