Jujutsu Kaisen fans are aware that the anime's team is currently under a lot of pressure due to tight schedules. Furthermore, the crisis became more evident when Hokuto Sadamoto apologized for the quality of episode 14. However, Akutami stated in his message that he loved the animators' work and hopes they will be properly reimbursed.

"Thank you, episode fourteen of season two!! When the animation (in this case, the sketching, timing, and the drawings themselves) is ridiculously good, I actually laugh. I hope the people who worked so hard for this entire experience and for this anime are increasingly repaid... that's all I have to say!!"

Synopsis:

Ever since high school student Yuji Itadori became involved with the secret society of sorcerers called Jujutsu Kaisen, he has been training to confront the curses, evil beings that haunt the living world. Therefore, to protect his friends and innocent people, Yuji decides to join the jujutsu sorcerers as a student-in-training under the tutelage of Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer of all.

The anime's first season premiered in October 2020 and featured 24 episodes animated by MAPPA. The studio later animated the film Jujutsu Kaisen 0, set a few years before the main series and telling the story of young Yuta Okkotsu.
