#ROUND-UP: Everything That Happened at the MAPPA 10th Anniversary Event

MAPPA is one busy anime studio, so it should surprise no one that their 10th Anniversary stage event was equally busy. The folks behind hit anime like JUJUTSU KAISEN and Attack on Titan Final Season had plenty to share during the event—Chainsaw Man was even trending while it all went down!—so let’s round up the big stories from the weekend.

The moment everyone was waiting for was undeniable: The Chainsaw Man trailer was coming and it had to deliver. Fans of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s wild Shonen Jump manga had high expectations, and MAPPA came through with something we’ll be thinking about until… whenever the series premieres. Read our full story for more on the staff!

We’ll be burning the fuel from the intense episodes that already aired for a while now, but there’s more Attack on Titan Final Season on the way. The latest update from the stage event revealed a brand new teaser visual for the series, which has another episode coming this winter. 

MAPPA and Madhouse are teaming up with DeNA and Bandai Namco on a new project called takt op.Destiny, and we got a peek in a new trailer, visual, broadcast date, and more. Check out the trailer below, and dig into the full story for info on the cast and staff ahead of the anime’s October 5 debut. 

One of the new MAPPA shows coming to Crunchyroll’s Summer 2021 Lineup is The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace, based on the manga by coolkyousinnjya and Amahara. A new promo was showcased during MAPPA’s event, previewing more footage along with Tatsuya Kitani’s OP theme.

When a new Mari Okada (Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms) project is announced, we pay attention. That’s exactly what happened as the last surprise during the MAPPA event, which parted the curtain to reveal that they’re working on Okada’s latest, Alice no Tres no Maboroshi Koji. Check out the trailer below and hit the link above for more on the folks involved. 

What were your favorite reveals over the weekend? Did you also stay up until 4:00am to watch the Chainsaw Man trailer like some of us did? Let’s continue the celebration and close this round-up out with the MAPPA 10th anniversary video!
