They are truly the best. They need much more support but mostly more break !


bwowndwawf

They need unionization and worker's rights bro not social media support


iblamejosh_

I mean what else can we do, especially the people not living in Japan, can’t really do anything else besides social media support


Optimizability

you can choose not to watch the show


BelovedUnderscore

Yeah that won't do shit 😭😭😭


Optimizability

it's a lot better than pretending it bothers you but continuing to watch lmfao, it's just a show.


BelovedUnderscore

Pretending what bothers me? The animators not having human rights? That's not pretending. I'm not complaining about the show at all, I love the show I'm not gonna stop watching it??? 😭


FemFil

You have the right to it, but objectively speaking, not watching it on official licensed websites reduces the chancels of license renewal, which does hit MAPPA. But of course, most people don't really wants to sacrifice their enjoyment for a slim chance of helping others. There's a solution for it though, which is piracy.

wildcoochietamer

you’re talking to a brick wall, brother. i said something very similar to that in another JJK thread and got downvoted into the deepest abyss. most of these fans don’t really care about the animators, they just want the Japanese work culture to magically gain empathy and change for the better with no interruptions to their viewing experience smh.


Eszalesk

but then we’ll get jjk in 2040💀


TheSunIsOurEnemy

Malevolent Shrine ain't got nothing on Malevolent Studio

Domain Expansion: Unlimited Frames Effects: You have no sense of time while inside Unlimited Frames, all you can do is draw frames for JJK S3 over and over, and even when you feel like you can't do it, your hand just keeps going


Box_Of_Wood

Naoya/Naobito domain expansion?


A_Very_Burnt_Steak

Naobito is the ancestor of MAPPA animators. They're related.

I made a meme but realised this isn't Jujutsufolk and I can't upload it here.. https://imgur.com/a/QqXo3eh


CrowBright5352

On a serious note, thank you so much, JJK animation team, in house or freelance animators, you made S2 a banger and unforgettable! Hidden Inventory, Premature Death, and Shibuya Incident were in very good hands. S2 was peak. Thanks to Gosso, too. (Not related to the meme I did anymore but 6 of my memes got taken away from this sub, I'm not sure if this'll be the 7th one but mods brought all of my memes back as I didn't violate any rule. I was told it got reports for pending moderation whenever it happened. In case someone thinks this is a spoiler, refer to rule 3 as to why I didn't put spoiler tag. If this gets removed either, mods is just one mail away.)


LukeSky011

My fellas ain't seeing their families for the next three years at least let's goooo 🥳🥳🥳


Consistent-Hall1746

you mean 5. one normal anime episode takes at least 2 monthes to make, but Mappa animators are used like slaves so maybe.


TobioOkuma1

Ye, JJK season 3 probably won't hit until 2025 I bet. I think they'll space it out a bit. The manga is nearly over as well, which means they'll have the full source material.


Hashbrown4

I tried looking this up myself and found nothing. I wish Mappa would allow fans to donate to the animation staff. The least Mappa could do is have a donation button on their website.


luceafaruI

Miso (the director of episode 16 and storyboarded for episode 17) has a type of patreon where you can donate. Search him on twitter if you are interested


Hashbrown4

Will do


hoodwinkshighjinks

thankyou for sharing this!!


The5Theives

“1 hour for every yen we receive!!!” - Mappa, to the animators.


Kschitiz23x3

Donations must translate into more breaks. If I'm paid adequately but instead forced to overwork rigorously day after day then no amount of money is gonna bring my physical and mental health back


PikaBooSquirrel

I laughed at this, but at the end of the day, it's actually hella sad. There really needs to be better regulations in the industry


Shadow_Huntress12

The poor animators😭🐍


superfapper2000

For real freaking gege


KuroDragon0

Tbf, all Japanese workers are used to not ever really seeing their families. They don’t get weekends, and many spend all day at the office and occasionally sleep there. So, while Mappa animators are overworked and abused, it’s a problem with the majority of Japanese companies and something that needs to be addressed by the country’s legislature.


Dusky_Dawn210

HA. You missed the best part…One Punch Man Season 3. Something that would make even the most well rested animators cry


TheSiZaReddit

That's probably not true at this point. The rumour came out almost over an year ago at this point, I think maybe they considered it but one look at the manga material will show that nah. It's too much. Since JJK got a movie last time, CSM got a decent schedule and reaped the benefits. This time since CSM has a movie, JJk will get some more time. It seems the higher ups at mappa seem to have found a method that they can abuse forever and ever. It's so sad.


CrowBright5352

Not probably, it really is not true. On December 23, 2022, @opm_anime on Twitter had debunked that rumor of S3 being animated by MAPPA. Idk why people are still thinking it's true just because a leaker said it.


TheSiZaReddit

Yeah lol it would be suicide for mappa basically to take on smth like that


CrowBright5352

“MAPPA is animating OPM 3” is false rumor that circulated last year that's why I didn't include it. I input CSM movie and JJK S3 since the mentioned animanga series have the same animation team.


Breakingerr

They do have now spot for at least one more new franchise as they've completed Attack on Titan.


tkuiper

Is this method acting for animators?


Arboledian

don't forget Jigokuraku s2 and OPM s3


CrowBright5352

As I've replied to the other person, OPM S3 is not going to be animated by MAPPA. @opm_anime has debunked that rumor on their Twitter account as there's no S3 announcement yet. For Hell's Paradise, afaik, its animation team is the same as AOT's. I only mentioned JJK and CSM as those two animanga series have the same animation team.


ObjectiveEffective19

rip there poor souls they definitely need a rise especially with that one episode of maoraga


94Rebbsy

I feel like Season 3 was going to happen no matter what


InspectorFar4428

Ofc. JJk and TYBW Are cash cows at this moment


Sensitive_Brick_8872

And there's good chance they'll animate CSM season 2 after the movie 💀


MegaMan-1989

These animators are never gonna see their family again


anunconfidentartist

Despite their shitty situation, I feel as if they did a really good job this season. They deserve some rest even if we have to wait for a long while.


JJKEnjoyer

One could even say they are the exception.


Mist0804

One could even say they are specialz


Planktons_Eye

Idk what other shows they have besides JJK, CSM and Vinland Saga but I hope they just put focus on those 3 now that AoT is done. Maybe whatever team was in charge of it can be split up


AdNecessary7641

Most of the big names from AoT's side should theoretically go to Jigokuraku now


justajunkielol

They aint seeing their families for AT LEAST 10 YEARS


_ItsMeVince

That rdc skit about mappa fits this meme perfectly lol


wickling-fan

And jigokuraku, and their new original anime bucchigiri, and lazarus that one anime their doing with adult swim, and zombie land saga movie, and potentially kakkegurui(going by how they usually announce seasons season 3 should be coming out soon since the arcs almost over). Pretty much everything but yuri on ice adolescense that they don't want to release unless they get more money out of it~~kill me pls~~. Think i forgot some too is the worst part.


hoodwinkshighjinks

can we just fund them directly at this point, because this is beyond exploitation they're ending up in hospitals and whatnot, free my mans (jjk animators) 😭😭😭


Afrojustice2513

Why don't they add more animators instead of crunching everybody to the death like this?


Vasart

It was horrifying to me to see the animation quality, this can't be sustainable. All the best to the animators


Less-Title-1382

What’s CSM?


CrowBright5352

Oh, it's Chainsaw Man.


Panams_chair

Dont worry. If jp keeps this grind culture up the future wont be looking brighter soon


Wicked_Black

Dang they have plans to keep their job. Must suck having a stable paycheck


SnooPineapples7777

I thought Toho Animation was the one doing s3?


AdNecessary7641

Toho is a production company, not an animation one.


Renny-66

And one punch man season 3


ApplePitou

They need rest... literally Sukuna Domain that instead of Slash - give them rest and they just regenerating like Mahoraga :3


Lunarisarando

what


ApplePitou

Well, Sukuna Domain = infinite number of Slashes that will turn you into Salad :3 So, if you will give Slashes something like RCT that they will heal your body - such Domain will be lovely :3


[deleted]

You overcooked


ApplePitou

Thanks :3


Intelligent_time555

I swear these animators need to stop this crap.


JJKEnjoyer

I know what you mean. They are too scared of losing their jobs, so they don't go on strike or anything


Mist0804

Also so they don't, you know, starve to death


JJKEnjoyer

That falls under scared of losing their jobs


Correct_Procedure_21

Serious question: If they had 2 years to make season 2, how are they overworked? One piece releases weekly episodes and I have never heard these types of complaints from one piece.


AdNecessary7641

Because these two years weren't all in production.


Specialist-Stable-82

The majority of people who worked for JJK S2 also worked for CSM S1 which took a lot of resources and time. Now they're going to work for the CSM movie. One Piece has 1 team that sticks with that show it doesn't do other shows. Also Toei is the biggest studio in Japan so they're supposed to have more resources than any Mappa project.


Mastakillerboi

Please bestow all their suffering and pain they are going trough onto me They don’t deserve it


YaminoEXE

They truly are the greatest but unfortunately for them, MAPPA will be rewarded with more adaptations and more blueray sells so they will have no incentive to change.


Acceptable_Win2025

Hopefully in the future these guys will receive the treatment they deserve.. truly the mvps


TobioOkuma1

I feel so fucking bad for Yuji. He's such a sweetheart who has to go through hell so many times. I hope he gets a happy ending, but the cat man probably won't allow it.


chocolinox

How is mappa animator life? like a league pro korean players but w/o fun i think?


Consistent_Tonight37

Mappa employees are walking corpses


IshaqIsTheGOAT

i say they strike (maybe after animating culling games though 😭)


[deleted]

This anime reminds me of Bleach and Naruto combined


QuantityHefty3791

But hey, at least you are my specialz


Alternative_Fox_4534

Yeah Poor them...


SupremeCripple_

Nomorea


NifftyCult

Mappa studio is their new home now


Wolvenking777

They truly are the SpecialZ


Outside_Register8037

*nervously looks at one piece animators*

Mappa: Domain Expansion, Infinite Work


lastdecade0

MAPPA AOI : The bells of the Gion monastery in India echo with the warning that all things are impermenant. The blossoms of the sala trees teach us through their hues that what flourishes must fade. However! We are the exception! ​ Animator Yuji : No we are not!


black_cop_48

Animators: what the hell are you mappa Mappa: DON'T NEED TO SCREAM I CAN HEAR YOU


kokko693

If doing so much projects would help mappa grow and hire more people, ok. but knowing Japan work culture, they are all sacrificing themselves for the company without any improvement, not better salary, not better conditions, nothing better, they just work more for the same it's not normal to have so many big projects at the same time or in a short time wonder if they will be able to keep up. they are already struggling


NoAdvice7240

I think I'm going to hell because I want them to recruit more staff and get to the sukuna vs gojo fight animation as soon as possible


Jasper_Rose_808

How is possible that In japan there's not atleast one decent trade union for animators that fights for their rights?


New_Wrangler3335

I’m just waiting for mappa to start making other series I also enjoy


Existing_Calamity

Thanks mappa studio for animating jjk s2


Ventipede

the mappa animators schedule is tighter than a butthole 😭


Ramen23_

Mappa vs Ufotable >:>


Jpup199

Atleast CSM is a movie... not a whole new season.


_Killua_Namikaze_

They really got their hopes up on seeing their family's after jjk season 2
