MAPPA's 15th Anniversary Showcase: JJK Season 4, Chainsaw Man and a Netflix Wave

One of the most influential anime studios of the decade marked a major milestone in style. At its 15th Anniversary Lineup Reveal on June 19, 2026, MAPPA delivered a presentation packed with trailers, teasers, and fresh announcements spanning some of the biggest franchises in anime — plus a wave of new projects headed to Netflix.

⚡ TL;DR — MAPPA’s 15th anniversary showcase opened with a Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 trailer, teased the Chainsaw Man: Assassins Arc (with a mobile game and an opening animation movie), dropped a Ranma 1/2 Season 3 trailer for October 2026, and revealed new Netflix anime including JIMOTO SAIKO! and BEAT & MOTION.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 opens the show

MAPPA wasted no time on the headline, opening the presentation with the first trailer for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4. After the manga’s conclusion and the enormous success of the Shibuya Incident and Culling Game adaptations, anticipation for the next season has been sky-high. The trailer confirms the project is firmly in production, giving fans their first real look at what comes next for Yuji Itadori and the sorcerers.

For a studio whose modern reputation is so closely tied to Jujutsu Kaisen, leading with it was a statement of intent — and a reminder of why MAPPA’s name carries so much weight.

A big Chainsaw Man push

The studio closed its project updates with a flurry of Chainsaw Man news. Headlining it was a new teaser trailer for the Chainsaw Man: Assassins Arc anime, continuing the franchise after the theatrical Reze Arc. Alongside the anime, MAPPA announced a new Chainsaw Man mobile game and an original opening animation movie tied to the title — a clear sign the studio is expanding Denji’s world across multiple formats.

Ranma 1/2 and the Netflix lineup

MAPPA’s partnership with Netflix continues to grow. The studio released a new trailer for Ranma 1/2 Season 3, the latest run of its modern adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi’s classic, confirmed for October 2026 exclusively on Netflix.

It also revealed two newer projects for the platform. JIMOTO SAIKO!, based on the work by usagi, was confirmed as a MAPPA-produced anime streaming exclusively on Netflix, while BEAT & MOTION — a coming-of-age story about music, animation, and chasing creative dreams — received fresh updates. Looking further ahead, MAPPA also confirmed it is producing a TV adaptation of Fall in Love, You False Angels, slated for 2027.

Why this lineup matters

Founded in 2011 by Masao Maruyama, MAPPA has grown from a boutique studio into one of the defining production houses of contemporary anime, with credits including Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, the final season of Attack on Titan, and Hell’s Paradise. A 15th anniversary showcase this stacked underlines just how central the studio has become to the medium’s biggest moments.

The takeaway

Between a Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 first look, an expanding Chainsaw Man universe, and a deepening Netflix slate, MAPPA used its 15th anniversary to show it has no intention of slowing down. The next few years of anime are going to run heavily through this studio — and this presentation made that impossible to ignore.
