MAPPA's controversial background

Excitement for the Jujutsu Kaisen sequel has been overshadowed by growing concerns about working conditions at MAPPA. On social networks, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), fans are expressing concern about the hosts' mental health. Despite humorous memes, the seriousness of the situation has prompted some to call for major reforms to protect employees from abuse in the anime industry.

These findings underline the pressure exerted on animators, reinforcing the call for reforms to improve working conditions and guarantee the mental health of professionals.

Jujutsu Kaisen fans reacted strongly on social networks. Humorous GIFs highlighting the difficult working conditions at MAPPA circulated, but the seriousness of the situation also prompted some to launch petitions and calls to delay the release of episodes to protect the health of the animators.

Poignant host testimonials

Direct testimonials from MAPPA employees emerged online, describing enormous workloads and excessively long shifts, pushing some to their mental and physical limits. Alarming messages, such as "I want to die quickly", raised awareness of the difficulties faced by animators.
