As you all already know jujutsu kaisen Director left Mappa in order to establish his own studio which is E&H production.
Today E&H production announced that they are doing an anime original adaptation under the directon of sunghoo park ( jjk director ) which is Ninja Kamui.

Art director of Ninja kamui

This is anime original we are here talking about and this is sunghoo park’s first ever anime original debut as a director so the possible outcome is that he won’t involve himself as a director in jujutsu kaisen 2 . Yeah this is a speculation or assumptions whatever you can think but this is something certain to happen in future .
Sunghoo park was a freelance from the start yes , but he was actually recruited as an employee for Mappa by former ceo of Mappa Maruyama at first, after the departure of Maruyama he became a freelance who is contracted with Mappa studio and now he left the studio in order to make his own original projects .
Logically speaking an anime original takes more time than a normal Tv adaptation, even if sunghoo park handled GOH and jjk both in the same time but this time the scenario is different he is handling his own passionate project while he can’t accept doing something big like jujutsu kaisen s2 at the same time .
There will be questions like who will be the new director for jujutsu kaisen s2 ?
Mostly it’s gonna be Shouta Goshozono, Ryouhei Takeshita or else some new young talented animator just like how they selected nakayama for chainsawman.

Does this will affect the production ? Nope not even in the slightest
Chainsawman staffs and jujutsu kaisen staffs will be working vise-versa for both series . Said by chainsawman character designer Kazutaka Sugiyama in Twitter https://twitter.com/tt_totos/status/1474273635640963074?s=21&t=X2x0Apb48YIaoQ6_zM90SQ


If you have any new director for jjk s2 in your mind free to put it here .

Same director. Just as freelancer instead of an in-house staff member.

or he is a masochist and will direct 2 anime again like what he did with God of High School and Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1

but ye i doubt it that kind of work torture (directing multiple anime on the same year) is not worth it even if he is paid a lot

I have no idea who will take over but I hope it's an improvement as I am not really a fan of Park's work on neither JJK nor GoH. I hope whichever director takes the reins pays more attention to compositing and art direction than him, those are the areas JJK is lacking in quite a bit.

It's possible he could but also not. It's not uncommon to be working on multiple series at the same time. Nakayama was working on the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie while directing Chainsaw Man. if they do change directors though i would have to put some thought into my choice

Nakayama only did 1 key animation cut for JJK 0 movie nothing more, at that time chainsawman pre production was going on and they didn’t started the actual production for chainsawman while they were working on jjk 0 .

There is slim chances that he will be the same director. moreover he was always a freelance since his works on GOH and jujutsu kaisen s1 but this time he probably won’t dare to pull that stunt again cause jujutsu kaisen s2 is an important project for Mappa and on the other hand he have his own studio which is concentrating on an anime original project or you can say park always wanted to do an anime original project as an director. The best probability is to put a new director for jjk s2 for a smooth production instead of park doing everything at once in a tight schedule which will end up in a blunder like what happened to jujutsu kaisen and GOH photography team and art team.

I don’t think it will suffer as long as the director is someone capable, even jujutsu kaisen s1 faced problems in terms of animation quality under sunghoo park . Sunghoo park is more of an action animator who focuses on correcting key animation and doing key animation instead of supervising every production department carefully. he never actually use his director role to the fullest it will be best if there is a new director who only concentrate in making other production departments work in harmony and supervise them properly .

I don't know, I think the main reason why I became a fan of JJK is because of Park's work (JJK is the most entertaining anime I have ever seen).
Imagine normies saying: "Peaky Blinders is mid and overhyped. Just another typical crime drama show. Breaking Bad is much better lol.".

Fingers crossed is Shota Goshossono he directed ep 17 of season 1 (one of the best in my op) and recently did ep 21 of ousama ranking at wit!! He also confirmed, on twitter, he is now completly under mappa so I assume he was actually hired with a contract to work for the studio... so we have someone young but experienced and already prove in episode directing, hungry for work, already familiar with the project/staff/production as he directed an ep in season 1, recently hired to the studio animating season 2 and ,for last, just like chainsaw man´s Nakayama he hasnt directed an anime before and the production unit under Seshita at mappa seems to like new and upcomer talents to take over big projects. Hope its him as he is a beast of an animator and storyboarder(dude his storyboards are insane) he boarded ep 21 of ousama and it was the best of the series with other big names also directing and boarding eps in that anime. Im a bit biased as you can see because I love his work but I really think he is a fitting person to continue Park´s work.

That would be nice.
Hearing that he directed ep 21 of Ousama Ranking and ep 17 of jujutsu Kaisen really makes me feel like he'd be a good replacement for Park Sung Hoo

yeah ep 21 of ousama is one of the best ep of the year so far... the storyboards on that are insane so we know that if it was indeed him jjk s2 would be in excellent and very fitting hands to replace Park!! Gosso already knows the production, he works now at mappa and just like nakayama is young and talented so it would be not very intelegent if mappa didnot choose him plus he along with Seshita would bring alot of talented freelancers to the production just like he did in ep 21 of ousama

I’m guessing Park could stay as Chief Director, like what happened to Kenji Nagasaki for Boku no Hero and Yoshihara for Black Clover.

Thank you!! I liked JJK first season, but mostly for the action, lol. I feel a better director and better compositing would've made wonders for that show.

But then again, there's people that complain about the directing in Fire Force S1, which was literally the only good thing about that show, lol

In Shounen, there's just no way to please all directing wise
