How does he just announce crunch when everyone in the community is pushing for this abuse of workers to stop. Guess because he's just the biggest egomaniac in this industry

Is it possible that it's something lost in translation, and he just means the final stretch with all hands on deck situation, without the negative over-working connotation?

I don't follow him though, so no idea what he actually means.

Over-working is a common thing in Japan in general (this is oversimplifying things of course). So I wouldn't be sure the anti crunch movement has reached Japan's part of the industry fully.

So many Japanese creatives, so many creatives everywhere, swear up and down they’re at the end and can’t continue on.

Guess what? They keep coming back. How many time has Hayao Miyazaki come back from retirement now?

The only thing that stops people like this is death.
