MAPPA Co., Ltd. (Japanese: 株式会社MAPPA, Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha MAPPA) is a Japanese animation studio headquartered in Suginami, Tokyo. Founded in 2011 by Madhouse co-founder and producer Masao Maruyama, it has produced anime works including Kids on the Slope, Terror in Resonance, Hajime no Ippo Rising, Yuri!!! on Ice, Kakegurui, In This Corner of the World, Zombie Land Saga, Banana Fish, Dororo, Dorohedoro, The God of High School, Jujutsu Kaisen and its prequel film Jujutsu Kaisen 0, Attack on Titan: The Final Season, Chainsaw Man, and the upcoming second season of Vinland Saga and adaptation of Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku. MAPPA is an acronym for Maruyama Animation Produce Project Association.[3][4]
History
The studio was founded on June 14, 2011, by Masao Maruyama, a co-founder and former producer of Madhouse, at the age of 70.[5] Murayama served as the company's first representative director, and the studio's initial goal was to produce Sunao Katabuchi's In This Corner of the World. Due to financial difficulties at Madhouse, Murayama and Katabuchi established MAPPA in the hopes of producing the film; however, despite moving studios, the film had a lot of production troubles, and wasn't released until 5 years later.[6] Maruyama first started working with Katabuchi for the film in 2010 during Madhouse era, but it took three years to start the production due to difficulties to raising funds.[7]
In April 2016, Maruyama resigned as a CEO of the studio and became a chairman. Studio animation producer Manabu Otsuka, a founding member and a former employee of Studio 4°C, became the CEO following Murayama's official departure.
Criticism
The studio's scheduling, work, and culture have been the subject of intense scrutiny,[8] with veteran animators like Hisashi Eguchi criticizing their practices;[9] to which Kevin Cirugeda from Sakugablog surmised as being due to the studio's incredibly fast-paced growth and "recklessness".[10] Mushiyo, another animator at MAPPA, also criticized the company for not properly training its animators and the studio's culture of overwork, which lead to them eventually quitting their job at the studio.[11] Besides the animator's individual output within the studio, they also criticized the company's decision to produce four series co-currently.[11]
Cirugeda also noted that in the 20 televised anime MAPPA produced from the beginning of 2015 to the beginning of 2020, the company had only been on the production committee for four of them, all of which listed MAPPA near the bottom or at the very bottom of the list, indicating that they served to a capacity almost as if they were being specifically contracted for work even on "original" series.[10]
MAPPA denied offering "unreasonable compensation" to "creators" in a response to claims that the studio underpaid workers;[12] however, animator Ippei Ichii claimed that an anime produced by MAPPA under Netflix, was suggesting a pay of ¥3,800 per cut,[12] to which Ichii claimed that ¥15,000 is the minimum cost that animators should negotiate for.[12]
