MAPPA unveils an exciting trailer for its 15th anniversary celebrations, highlighting its extensive lineup of anime favorites including Jujutsu Kaisen and Attack on Titan.
Animation studio MAPPA has officially released a new trailer marking its 15th anniversary. This trailer showcases some of the most iconic scenes from the studio's major titles, including fan favorites like Jujutsu Kaisen and Attack on Titan. The trailer not only celebrates past successes but also teases upcoming projects that have fans buzzing with anticipation.
The full-scale celebration is set in conjunction with the 15th Anniversary MAPPA Expo, a notable event featuring 23 of the studio’s renowned titles. Scheduled to kick off in Japan on September 16, 2026, the Expo is split into two phases: the first phase will run until October 25, 2026, before the second phase returns from October 28 to December 7, 2026. Attendees can expect life-size figures, exclusive merchandise, and insights into the production of their favorite series, promising a comprehensive experience for anime fans. The Expo marks a significant milestone, as it highlights MAPPA's influential role in the anime industry over the last 15 years.
Established in 2011, MAPPA has evolved into one of Japan's leading animation studios. The studio gained significant recognition with Yuri!!! on Ice in 2016, which acted as a pivotal moment for its success. Building on that triumph, MAPPA has delivered critically acclaimed series such as Chainsaw Man and the final season of Attack on Titan. The studio's commitment to quality animation and storytelling has kept the momentum strong, capturing the interests of an expanding global audience. With each new project, MAPPA continues to elevate the art of anime production.
In conjunction with its anniversary celebrations, MAPPA held a special event to update fans on ongoing and upcoming projects. Notable announcements included developments for highly anticipated sequels such as Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 and Chainsaw Man: Assassins Arc. Fans can also look forward to new original works like Fall in Love, You False Angels. While some series, such as Hell's Paradise, remain in limbo without confirmed new seasons, the overall lineup suggests a robust pipeline of content that ensures MAPPA's continued relevance in the competitive anime landscape.
Tickets for the MAPPA Expo are currently available for purchase through the official website. However, it's essential to note that the event is exclusive to Japan, so fans from other countries may need to plan their visits carefully to participate in the festivities. With limited indications that it will extend beyond national borders, the Expo represents a unique opportunity for local fans to engage directly with the creators behind their favorite series.
The release of MAPPA's anniversary trailer and the accompanying Expo indicate a significant chapter in the studio's history and its connection with fans. By showcasing its rich legacy and exciting future projects, MAPPA emphasizes its role as a leading force in anime. As 2026 progresses, fans eagerly await further surprises the studio has planned as part of its ongoing succession strategy. The Expo is not only a celebration of what has been but also a look forward to the anime experiences that await.
