Why WasYuri On Ice: AdolescenceCanceled?
Though it is only a guess, fans think theYuri on Icemovie being canceled might relate to present disagreements about MAPPA animation studio’s working conditions. And problems from its workers regarding insufficient pay and too much work.
In March, it was officially stated thatMakoto Kimura, the producer of MAPPA’s popular showsChainsaw ManandJujutsu Kaisen, had left. Many believe Kimura is responsible for making the studio achieve so much success.
He chose to create his own animation company instead. The departure of Kimura from being one of the most important producers at MAPPA was only a start to this situation.
After Kimura, many animators and voice actors have shown their unhappiness with thework environment at MAPPA. They feel that they are not paid enough, and work for too long hours without getting proper rest time or breaks, and definitely not proper compensation.
