Being an animator in 2026 feels like a lose-lose situation, especially after the backlash surrounding the latest Jujutsu Kaisen episode. Despite the high production quality, the episode has been criticized as “over-animated,” with parts of the Japanese fandom taking the reaction to extreme levels.
In this video, I break down why overseas fans largely enjoyed the episode, why the manga-versus-anime debate is being blown out of proportion, and how many viewers may simply be complaining for the sake of it. I also talk about the irony of this controversy happening right after the MAPPA president emphasized the importance of embracing a global audience, as well as why comparisons to series like One Punch Man and The Beginning After the End highlight how spoiled anime fans have become. Was the manga version really that untouchable, or are expectations just unrealistic now? Let’s talk about it.
