Studio MAPPA is hosting a landmark 15th anniversary presentation at <strong>8pm JST&nbsp;\/ 7pm SGT<\/strong>, and almost every major franchise it handles is on the bill.<\/p>\n<h2>MAPPA at 15: A Studio Behind Half Your Favourite Anime<\/h2>\n<p>MAPPA was founded on 14 June 2011 and has since become one of the most prolific animation studios in the world \u2014 responsible for <em>Jujutsu Kaisen<\/em>, <em>Chainsaw Man<\/em>, <em>Attack on Titan: The Final Season<\/em>, <em>Dorohedoro<\/em>, <em>Ranma \u00bd<\/em>, <em>Yuri on Ice<\/em>, and more. To mark its 15th anniversary, the studio is hosting a special video presentation that it describes as more than a list of upcoming projects: each title will be introduced through &#8220;carefully crafted video segments&#8221; (per navigator Kenjiro Tsuda&#8217;s comments).<\/p>\n<p>The event will also premiere an original anniversary film set to &#8220;Seikatsu&#8221; (Life), a song written for the occasion by Japanese band <strong>PEOPLE 1<\/strong>. Veteran voice actress Kotono Mitsuishi serves as narrator.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mappa-15th-anniversary-titles.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"MAPPA 15th anniversary lineup titles\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of MAPPA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 \u2014 What Singapore Fans Need to Know<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4<\/strong> \u2014 covering the Culling Game Arc Part 2 \u2014 is confirmed in production, and MAPPA will share fresh details on 19 June. The event includes a dedicated <strong>&#8220;Juju Talk&#8221;<\/strong> segment featuring voice actors Junya Enoki (Yuji Itadori) and Megumi Ogata (Yuta Okkotsu).<\/p>\n<p>Season 3 finished airing earlier this year, covering the Culling Game Arc Part 1, so Season 4 is the natural continuation of the story. The June 19 update is expected to include at minimum a new teaser and possibly a confirmed premiere window.<\/p>\n<h2>Chainsaw Man: International Assassins Arc and a Mystery New Project<\/h2>\n<p>The Chainsaw Man section of the event is arguably the most intriguing. Two announcements are confirmed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New details on the <strong>Chainsaw Man: International Assassins Arc<\/strong> anime \u2014 the adaptation of the manga arc immediately following the Public Safety arc. Whether this will be a new TV season or an animated film has not been confirmed.<\/li>\n<li>A <strong>brand-new Chainsaw Man project<\/strong>, teased independently of the Assassins Arc announcement. Chainsaw Man Part 2 of the manga concluded in Japan just one day before this was announced, making the timing significant. Creator Tatsuki Fujimoto has spoken publicly about his love for cinema, so speculation has already settled on an original anime film \u2014 but nothing is confirmed until 19 June.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Attack on Titan, Dorohedoro, Ranma \u00bd and More<\/h2>\n<p>The full MAPPA 15th anniversary lineup is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Attack on Titan: The Final Season<\/strong> \u2014 new anime details (separate from the <a href=\"\/blog\/attack-on-titan-3-announced-ps5-switch-2-pc\/\">Attack on Titan 3 game announced earlier this month<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dorohedoro Season 3<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Ranma \u00bd Season 3<\/strong> (streaming on Netflix in Singapore)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oblivion Battery Season 2<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Yuri on Ice 10th Anniversary<\/strong> content<\/li>\n<li>A <strong>completely new, unannounced anime<\/strong> \u2014 one reveal MAPPA is keeping under wraps until the night itself<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The breadth of this lineup makes the June 19 presentation one of the most consequential anime events of the year, rivalling a dedicated Crunchyroll Expo panel in terms of raw fan interest.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Watch Live from Singapore<\/h2>\n<p>The presentation streams free on MAPPA&#8217;s official YouTube channel:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>When:<\/strong> Friday, 19 June 2026 at <strong>7pm SGT<\/strong> (8pm JST \/ 1pm CEST)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Where:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@MAPPACHANNEL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">youtube.com\/@MAPPACHANNEL<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost:<\/strong> Free \u2014 no registration required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Set a reminder on YouTube now so you do not miss the start.
