Studio MAPPA has become one of the most recognizable and influential studios in anime, and alongside that acclaim is a heft of controversy and accusations of studio executives overworking employees. But, I find it rather interesting that the studio’s work began as recently as 2012.
It’s not as if MAPPA has been around for upwards of 40 years and the controversy has been bubbling and simmering for a decade or more. No, the studio was founded on June 14 of 2011, and their first series, Kids on the Slope would soon follow in 2012. From then onward, the team at MAPPA has produced a total of 45 anime titles, with three more on the way as of writing.
So, let’s take a look at each of the diverse anime Studio MAPPA have brought into this world, including both the episodic serials, films, and OVAs/ONAs. And then, you can take to the comments to let us know which are your favorites!
