Jujutsu Kaisen’s production meltdown continues to affect Season 2, as fans are claiming that it might get canceled – but is there any truth to this?

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 has worried fans more than ever with the ever-increasing controversies about MAPPA’s alleged working conditions. Several animators have come forward on social media and expressed their distress over it.

The recent episode features some of the most incredible fight sequences, but it’s clear that it wasn’t finished before it aired. Although there’s a chance it might be fixed in the Blu-ray version, the episode that was broadcast in Japan and is currently streaming online was only 30% of the intended vision.

The recent MAPPA controversy has fans concerned about Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 going on hiatus or, even worse, getting canceled. Delve deeper to find out if there’s any truth to this.

Will Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 get canceled or go on hiatus?

Despite the rumors circulating around, there has been no official announcement about Jujutsu Kaisen Season getting canceled or going on hiatus.

One Twitter user claimed: “Jjk s2 might be canceled or delayed! Jujutsu Kaisen’s Shibuya Arc Production Staff has abandoned their duties due to Horrible Work Conditions!! Jujutsu Kaisen’s Shibuya Arc Production Staff were denied a break!!”

Another user wrote: “Maybe the anime industry needs to move to the US & build a better work environment with stability & have a union cuz animators’ health is important. It’s a shame to see one of our favorite animes get canceled. There shouldn’t be any rush.”

A Twitch streamer also shared: “Jujutsu Kaisen ON HIATUS due to Mappa mistreatment of animators! Join us on stream for more!”

One user also shared their support for the animators: “As much as I love Jujutsu Kaisen, I really hope it goes on hiatus for the sake of the animation team… Mappa needs to give the animators more time with a healthy schedule… I could tell by these last couple of episodes that something wasn’t right. Respect the animators.”

It’s one of the most popular series of the year, and the story continues to get more intense. Season 2 currently has six episodes left, and each one of them will be better than the other. So, despite the rumors and worries, fans can rest easy and enjoy the upcoming episodes.

How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023

Crunchyroll is the world’s best hub for streaming anime, whether it’s One Piece, Attack on Titan, or Jujutsu Kaisen. And thanks to ExpressVPN, you can access the platform’s full library even if you’re outside the US.

If you’re abroad, here’s what you need to do to access Crunchyroll’s full selection – and it really is this simple:

  1. Sign up for ExpressVPN, which has ultra-fast servers and offers a secure, private connection wherever you are in the world
  2.  Connect to a location anywhere in the US. Express VPN allows you to choose from 24 different spots, from New Jersey to Santa Monica
  3.  Visit Crunchyroll online and start streaming all of your favorite animes – and perhaps some you’ve never watched

Accessing Crunchyroll’s US roster makes a difference. For example, Hong Kong users only have access to less than 100 titles, while the US has nearly 1,000 movies and TV shows.

You can also stream anime on Crunchyroll for free with an ad-supported plan. Or you can pay for a subscription. There’s even a 14-day free trial if you can’t quite make up your mind.
