An update from the talented animator Maplestar delighted fans by announcing a continuation of his recent animation of Yuuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki from the “Jujutsu Kaisen” series. Known for creating animations aimed at an adult audience, the animator commented on difficulties with the project.
Maplestar said in his post on April 4th that he already had a sequel planned for that animation when he made the first part. He adds:
- The other projects are still gaining attention, but I don't want to keep you waiting with the JJK project. I'll show some progress on the other projects next week!
Although Maplestar's unique style has garnered a large fanbase over the years, a big part of that is his commitment to keeping his designs faithful to those of the official anime. This is why many viewers end up being misled and think they are watching an official production when they see the artist's videos.
Furthermore, the fact that Maplestar hires Japanese voice actors and actresses to voice the characters in its animations is something highly appreciated by more traditional fans.
Jujutsu Kaisen Synopsis:
From the outset, we are introduced to Yuji Itadori, a high school student who has become involved with the secret society of sorcerers called Jujutsu Kaisen. Itadori has dedicated himself to training to confront curses, which are evil beings that haunt the world of the living. This training journey has led him to face increasingly greater challenges, preparing him for the dangers he and his companions will encounter.
Therefore, Gege Akutami began serializing the manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in March 2018. Finally, the first season of the anime had a total of twenty-four episodes and premiered in the Fall 2022 season (October to December).
