Animation studio MAPPA has announced a special 15th anniversary lineup presentation, set to stream on its official YouTube channel on June 19. The event will feature updates on several of the studio’s major projects, alongside the reveal of an entirely new one.
According to the announcement, the presentation will include new information related to Chainsaw Man and Dorohedoro, as well as for numerous others. The production of Chainsaw Man International Assassins Arc and Dorohedoro Season 3 was previously confirmed. JUJUTSU KAISEN Season 4, titled the Culling Game Arc Part 2, is also in production.
The event also includes segments dedicated to Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan Final Season, Oblivion Battery, and Ranma 1/2, with each one also having “new information” teased.
For Jujutsu Kaisen, voice actors Junya Enoki (Yuji Itadori) and Megumi Ogata (Yuta Okkotsu) will appear in a special “Juju Talk” segment. Attack on Titan Final Season will feature a discussion between director Yuichiro Hayashi and voice actress Yui Ishikawa (Mikasa Ackerman).
Oblivion Battery will receive a behind-the-scenes feature focused on Season 2 production, with cast members Yohei Azakami and Nobunaga Shimazaki appearing alongside director Masato Nakazono. The recently announced third season of Ranma 1/2 will also be highlighted through a special talk featuring Kappei Yamaguchi, Noriko Hidaka, and Koichi Yamadera.
In addition to the project updates, MAPPA will premiere a new anniversary movie created by the studio itself featuring “Seikatsu” (Life), an original song written by PEOPLE 1 to commemorate MAPPA’s 15th anniversary.
Voice actor Kenjiro Tsuda will serve as navigator for the presentation, while Kotono Mitsuishi will provide narration. Tsuda commented:
I will serve as navigator for MAPPA’s 15th anniversary lineup presentation. Rather than simply listing upcoming projects, the presentation will introduce them through carefully crafted video segments, which makes me excited for MAPPA’s future. As a voice actor, I’ve participated in many MAPPA productions, including works that have earned acclaim not only in Japan but around the world. I’m honored to have been entrusted with this role and look forward to seeing what comes next. Please look forward to the broadcast.
Founded in 2011, MAPPA has become one of the industry’s most prominent studios through productions such as Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan Final Season, Dorohedoro, Yuri!!! on Ice, Hell’s Paradise, and Ranma 1/2.
