Artist Hokuto Sadamoto posted an apology
After receiving countless complaints from Jujutsu Kaisen fans, MAPPA studio animator Hokuto Sadamoto posted an apology for the quality of the latest anime episode of this popular series. He expressed that he understood and agreed with the backlash from fans when the quality of new episodes of the anime Jujutsu Kaisen ss2 showed signs of decline.
Initially, Sadamoto had hoped to avoid attention by not putting his name in the credits in Season 2, Episode 14. However, leaked information showed that he was involved and that made fans even more excited. more angry. Sadamoto later posted: "I did something that no one liked and I'm sure I will continue to do so. Sorry.

He shared: "I understand the frustration that the fans are experiencing and also sincerely apologize to the audience because we have not done our job well. Before signing the contract, I knew that the film would not have too much production time, but I also did not expect that everything would be more rushed than expected. I also feel disappointed in the final quality of the film, everything should have been carefully considered before releasing the work to the audience."
MAPPA Working Conditions in the Anime Industry
Sadamoto also revealed on X that he only had two weeks to make 250 animations for the episode - a huge amount of work even for professional animators. This incident is like a grain of sand in MAPPA's list of employee abuse cases in the animation industry.
The studio has previously faced similar allegations surrounding the working conditions of animators while producing the Attack on Titan anime. After the apology letter, many fans stood up to defend Sadamoto and said that the main problem came from MAPPA's working conditions. It seems that MAPPA studio's problem of labor exploitation is still present even though this studio has apologized in the past but has not made any improvements, and still has the same problems.
The amount of work was so terrible that the work did not meet the requirements
Even though Jujutsu Kaisen ss2: the quality of the latest episode did not meet expectations, fans still wholeheartedly support this anime. Hobiverse really hopes that studio MAPPA will absorb everyone's opinions and improve the working conditions of its employees, preventing a top studio from going to the brink of collapse.
