Since its founding on June 14, 2011, Mappa has grown into one of the biggest anime studios around. From Jujutsu Kaisen to Attack on Titan and Chainsaw Man, its mostly shonen output has catapulted it to prominence despite crunch allegations and long wait times between seasons. To celebrate its 15th birthday, the studio wants everyone to know what it’s working on next—just don’t ask when it’s coming. As part of its 15th anniversary celebration, Mappa released trailers for continuations of Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man. The former continues the “Culling Game” arc that played out last season, with scenes highlighting multiple big fights, including a few that change the course of the series. And while they don’t get a ton of attention, there’s two non-action scenes that…well, things are about to really change for Yuji and everyone else. Meanwhile, Chainsaw Man fans have the “Assassins” arc to look forward to. This teaser spends its time building up Denji’s next big problem. After beating Reze and getting his heart broken, Devil Hunters from around the globe are coming to Japan to kill him. These killers for hire include three American brothers, a Chinese Hunter with Fiends under her command, and a young man and his master. At time of writing, it’s still unclear on if “Assassins” will be another movie or a full-on season.
