Yes, the update concerns Jun Maeda, the Japanese writer and anime creator. The man who rose to significance after being in association with multiple projects in the past claims that he would no longer be involved in any anime writing. Since this tweet hit his feeds, fans have been wondering what could possibly go wrong in his career. The writer, music composer, and lyricist has been in the news ever since he revealed his will to the internet. Here, you will find everything about the matter.
Jun Maeda is one of the most significant personalities in the anime industry. The writer has a long history of remarkable works that have come into the public domain. From writing stories, scripts, and songs, to formulating his own company, Jun has made a name for himself in the long run. Most of all, he is known for founding the Visual Arts brand called Key. Some of his notable works include Kanon, Air, The Day I Become God, and Angel Beats! But these might be the last time fans experience his brilliant writing. So what nudged the brilliant career of the artist? Let’s find out.
Jun Maeda Quits Writing & Key Visuals
The news is not a sudden reveal by Jun in any way. Back in December 2021, the writer had posted a similar concern suggesting that he wished to quit this work altogether. In a tweet made on December 28, 2021, the artist wrote that his wish is to quit writing altogether and Key Arts as well. He expressed that even when it’s any occasion or festive, he gets crowded with comments that talk about his work and when he would bring sequels and spin-offs. The writer continued he will try to ‘survive this’ until February next year.
After this tweet created havoc over the internet, a second post came along. In this tweet, the author reiterated the same. But this time, he confirmed that he would be giving up the writing career altogether. He added that he would not add songs and anime projects in the future. He assured fans that the “Summer Pockets” animation would still happen. Plus, if ever the “Heaven Burns Red” gets an anime, he would not join the writing team.
What Went Wrong?
A simple google search about Jun Maeda would tell you that the writer had ‘gone missing more than once. There are literal Reddit threads and Twitter feeds that would tell us that fans have been looking for him for a long time now. After these tweets, the artist had deleted his Twitter account. Industry insiders tell us that Jun had a history of cutting off from people and all contact. A foreseen depression might be the cause of this action.
Moreover, the criticism that he got for his work in the Angel Beats and other works gives away that he is feeling quite some pressure from the industry as well as the fans. For now, there is no saying as to where the artist is these days. Some people believe that he might never return to the industry. Fans can only hope that he will come back in his own time and inform us all about the same in his due time.
