MAPPA Releases Special Film for 15th Anniversary: Music Group PEOPLE 1 Accompanies
MAPPA, on the occasion of its 15th anniversary, released a special commemorative film titled 'MAPPA 15th Anniversary Movie'. In the video shared on the studio's official channels, scenes from the unforgettable productions that MAPPA has made in the last 15 years are brought together, and Japanese group PEOPLE 1 was chosen for the film's music.
MAPPA was founded in 2011 by former Madhouse producer Masao Maruyama. It quickly revolutionized the anime world with mega-hits such as the final season of 'Attack on Titan' (Shingeki no Kyojin), 'Jujutsu Kaisen', 'Chainsaw Man', 'Vinland Saga' season 2, 'Yuri!!! on Ice', and 'Banana Fish'. The studio, known for both visual quality and intense production schedule, has also made a name for itself with recent productions like 'Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead' and 'Hell's Paradise'.
The 15th anniversary film presents a sort of tribute to the studio's successful past. The group PEOPLE 1 is a name well known to anime fans from their songs for 'Jujutsu Kaisen' and other anime projects. The group's new composition was prepared especially for the film and creates both a nostalgic and forward-looking energetic atmosphere.
Such anniversary films are important in showing the studios' commitment to their own history and fans. Especially for a studio like MAPPA, which has exploded in the last 5 years, this video reminds both old and new fans of the company's vision. MAPPA will also continue to stay on the agenda with major productions such as 'Jujutsu Kaisen' season 3, 'Chainsaw Man' movie, and 'The Lazarus Project' in the coming years.
Fans can access the released video via the studio's YouTube channel and official social media accounts. While celebrating MAPPA's 15th anniversary, it is a matter of curiosity whether this film also carries small clues about the studio's future projects. For now, eyes are on the studio's announcements in 2025 and beyond.
