It has been an open secret for quite some time now that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 has been going through a lot of production issues, primarily utterly poor scheduling by MAPPA, which forced the animators to overwork.
The situation seems to have escalated, as multiple JJK S2 animators put out tweets regarding this issue over the span of a single day. However, instead of just pointing out the poor working conditions, these tweets implied that they had reached a breaking point.
Some tweets even suggested that the production of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 could be significantly affected, either in terms of the quality of upcoming episodes (from S2 ep 18), or maybe even face a delay.

man, the JJK0 movie was made in 4 months
Seems at this point that either working conditions improve or the industry collapses. There are just too many shows in production nowadays; apparently there are over 50 anime airing right now.
i realize that i know nothing about how unions work in japan, but uh, mappa animator’s union when?
