MAPPA and Netflix have already teamed up to work on projects such as Ranma 1/2 remake and Kakegurui. Now, Netflix has announced a full-on collaboration with the esteemed MAPPA Studios to work on new anime projects, from production to merchandise. Moreover, these new upcoming anime titles will be available to stream exclusively on Netflix. Manabu Otsuka, the President and CEO of MAPPA, said, “We have worked with Netflix on various projects in the past, but this expanded partnership is based on MAPPA’s core belief in being an independent studio — both creatively and in business.” Kaata Sakamoto, Vice President of Content (Netflix Japan), praised the MAPPA studios and shared a word about their future: With the new partnership, upcoming installments, such as Chainsaw Man: Assassins Arc, Vinland Saga Season 3, and more, are expected to be Netflix exclusives going forward. Now, Crunchyroll faces intense competition with Netflix securing one of the best studios in the industry right now. Let’s wait and see how this strategic partnership paves the way for more high-quality adaptation from now on.
