The CEO of MAPPA Studios has sparked debate after detailing the reason why the studio's workload is so busy.
These days, the anime industry is more competitive than ever, and it takes a lot for studios to stand out. Brands like Kyoto Animation have made a name with their gorgeous graphics while giants like Toei Animation have decades of work to bolster their future. For newer studios, they have found success with upcoming hits though some suggest their zeal comes at the price of animators.
"When we thought about what we'd need to do to achieve , the first thing we needed to do was increase productivity. It is difficult to catch up to level of quality of Kyoto Animation and ufotable in a short period of time. It would be too late for MAPPA, a backward-looking studio, to spend 20-30 years trying to reach that point.
As you can see, this explanation from Otsuka gives insight into why MAPPA is moving so quickly. It has become a joke within the anime fandom that any new hit series will be animated by MAPPA. After all, the studio has taken on everything from Attack on Titan to Chainsaw Man and Vinland Saga. It would put things lightly to say the company had its hands full, and this schedule has made MAPPA well known by fans. But as of late, its notoriety has been backfiring.
