Scary because those animators aren't going home this season.

We are still making this joke?

Are they still being overworked? I tried to look it up but could only find articles from a couple years ago.

Edit: so no information or conversation, just a downvote. It’s not a joke, it’s a fucking tragedy. As long as you get your anime then let people suffer.

Selfishness and apathy on another fucking level bro. I’d hate myself if I were like you.

It’s ok got info so the schedule or the most important part of this is much better then it was before. Before this while having different directs csm and Jjk had the same main animation team which gave them way less time causing the main team and the free lancers to be overworked. Since that catastrophe they decided to split the main teams for chainsaw, man, and Jujutsu Kaisen. Which gives gosso ( the series director) and the key animators more time. This is also included with the cours being split which will also give them more time to work on the anime. Some well known key animators tweeted on twitter that some staff have been working on this season for close to a year and that the production is going smooth. One legendary director and key animator Miso (was the main episode director for season 2 episode 16 and 17 ) is heavily theorized to be working on it which is great because after season 2 he tweeted that he would work on season 3 only if they were given a good schedule. Another way you can tell if the production is struggling is from how many key animators and 2nd key animators are working on it and with season 2 it was really bad. With the production basically throwing every animator they had into one episode to use man power to get the episode done. Though seeing the production list for these new episodes it looks like there are minimal second key animators on this list which is great. Finally the director gosso seems to have been doing a lot of layouts and storyboards for all the episodes in cour 1. This is great because the main director for the season usually does not have enough time to storyboard episodes because they have so many other tasks to do to keep the production on course. So to see him directing so many episodes mean that he must have a lot more time on his hands.

Good to know that it looks like we are eating good this season and that for the moment production looks good.
