I felt like writing something, and I ended up with this whole thing, if you are aware of JJK s2 production problems you can just jump into the poll.
If you were not aware, the S2 Jujutsu Kaisen anime production have been causing a bit of an uproar. Now, terrible working conditions, crunch, insane deadlines, are all standard for soul sucking Japanese corporations. Studio mappa, responsible for JJK anime, has a bad reputation for many of those reasons, and this anime was not very different form others, with rumours about production issues circualting. Things escalated a (good) few days ago, when some people working on the show Xitted their grievances with the studio for all to see (bad translations ripped from a website):
This article compiles it all, but is written kinda cringe.
As far as I'm aware it's something that rarely, or never happens. Japs normally keep everything behind closed door, so of course animators coming out and saying stuff like this quickly got a lot of traction. Not to mention the Xeets were quite dramatic claiming the production was more than ready to completely fall apart, with upcoming episodes not completed while the deadline was approaching.
Anitubers (Lame fricking losers) started doom posting about it, claiming that the production is dead, and :

(Sadly his supreme take got deleted)
Also, with current production drama the ethical consumption question comes into play. Just kidding, it's another animation debate, but this time asking if people creating the product are treated like shit, how can we criticize it. You see, it's all highly intellectual:
So, with all that, it's Poll time. Ep 18 (I think) is still supposed to be finished, but after that no one knows what will happen. What will be the coming episodes (19 to 20something) like:
Personally I hope they just release episodes with random cuts to raw storyboards. That would be peak anime.
Anyway, bye.
