Recently enough, Gege Akutami broke his silence on season two ahead of its launch. It was there the artist praised the director behind the anime’s new season, and Akutami said this season will surely surprise fans who haven’t kept up with the manga.
“Director [Shota] Goshozono is of the same generation and has a similar sensibility as me. I feel that he has the same goal in mind as I do. I can feel his determination to make [the show] even better based on its first season and film, so I am already very satisfied with it even though it hasn’t aired yet. I hope that many people will watch the season season of the anime. Especially if you don’t know much about the manga,” Akutami shared.
Of course, the creator also wrote to fans after Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 dropped its first episode. The artist posted a little note to social media with some scribble sketches, and it was there the creator thanked everyone who worked on the anime.
“Congratulations and thank you to all the staff members that worked on the first episode of season two,” he wrote. “It was amazing to see how the anime aligned and added cool scenes and effects. The author couldn’t feel more blessed.”
Obviously, Akutami is living for Jujutsu Kaisen, and that is good considering the series has plenty left to explore.
