So basically There is this leak going around on twitter today that Gosso Will leave JJK ( or already left ) After S3 Cour 1 and Cour 2 And The future seasons / movies will have a different director .

This is probably not in response to backlash or anything , This was already planned way Before and GOSSO doing Storyboard for All Cour 1 eps is his way of bidding farewell to the series .


One of the leaker said this : https://x.com/RANSCPP/status/2023004096383586305?s=20



Edit : Gosso has joined Studio Illumination in France .
Source : https://x.com/RANSCPP/status/2023130607342227920?s=20


Btw this was done by assistant director of cour 1 " Takeru Sato " who will probably direct cour 2 : https://x.com/CheikhAhmadouN9/status/2023043980632756624?s=20

Damn, this really sucks. He's a great director and had a really cool vision with his JJK adaptation, it's a shame he's leaving mid season. Hopefully they'll find a good replacement. I wonder how much this will impact the second cour, surely it's already been in the works for a while now, right? So it shouldn't feel to different I hope.

@babajeeds No, it has nothing to do with this. XD From what the information says, his contract with MAPPA has ended and he's moving somewhere else. I don't think he'll even be in any anime anymore, he's just moving to some French studio? we. will see

That's a shame, I really liked the way he directed JJK, fuck the crybabies whining about "iT's nOt a 1:1 aDapTaTiOn" or "mUh iCoNiC pAnELs." God forbid 2 completely different mediums of entertainment be presented in different and unique ways, you want your iconic panels so badly the manga aint going anywhere. Anime adaptations would be so boring if they were just carbon copied from the manga with some color and voice acting thrown in.

Best of luck to Gosso on whatever he does next and good luck to whoever the next director is.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

@thebrentinator24 Lol, yes, pointing out how a good director would be consistently good is cherry-picking.
Firstly, a director is good when they can well-direct an episode that is hard to direct like an exposition heavy one.
Secondly, one characteristic of a good director is that he's consistent.

The thing is, when something is well-written, well-paced even a bad director could do at least a decent job. But also, there wasn't really a single episode in these 2 seasons that was well-directed. It was always between decent and bad.

@Tithain from what people have written, there are a lot of very good replacements to choose from, and the main director they're targeting is a guy who has worked extensively with and directed scenes with Gosso, so they have a similar style. If he's the replacement, there's probably nothing to worry about. This news kinda suck, but it's not the end of the world. JJK is a priority series for Mappa, so the quality certainly won't drop. The approach to some scenes may be slightly different, but not by much.

A loss nontheless, but Gosso proved himself to be one of those creators whose skill ceiling extends far beyond the TV anime circuit (him and Megumi Ishitani being the few that emerged in recent years). I hope he finds creative fulfillment in whatever he works on next.

If the leaks are true that it is Illumination, I wonder what kind of project was he offered, as the studio is not really known as a mecca for arthouse enjoyers. My shot in the dark guess leans towards some unit direction work on the Mario Galaxy movie, or maybe some other Nintendo co-production (maybe that's why they wanted to scout a Japanese director in the first place as a sort of intermediary, who knows).

I don't really see him on the next minions lmao. It would unironically be the peak cinema meme tho

Or maybe Illumination is turning a new leaf with an unnanounced more ambitious project, either way ill be there for sure.

I also saw some people wondering if its actually Fortiche? That would also be great

A lot of French Gobelins alumni are already working in anime, so it was only a matter of time until someone from Japan went there for work. Stylistically the announced Jaadugar anime looks like it comes straight from this lineage already (even though the director is from Spain)

Gosso on his was to direct the best minons film the world has ever seen. Happy for him he is able to do what he wants.

As far as jjk is concerned, people are really undermining Seshimo, he has enough connections. And if the next director has well known connections even better. Also apparently part of CSM team will also be working on it so animation will keep looking as good if not better(as long as they get enough time). It's just Gosso artsy storyboard and direction will be missed.

It might take a hit but I doubt they will fumble a big money getter like jjk before the main event from production stand point. Just hope nothing like MHA happens lol .
