Since its founding on June 14, 2011, Mappa has grown into one of the biggest anime studios around. From\u00a0Jujutsu Kaisen<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0Attack on Titan\u00a0and\u00a0Chainsaw Man,\u00a0its mostly shonen output has catapulted it to prominence despite crunch allegations<\/a> and long wait times between seasons. To celebrate its 15th birthday, the studio wants everyone to know what it\u2019s working on next\u2014just don\u2019t ask when\u00a0it\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n

As part of its 15th anniversary celebration, Mappa released trailers for continuations of\u00a0Jujutsu Kaisen\u00a0and\u00a0Chainsaw Man.\u00a0The former continues the \u201cCulling Game\u201d arc that played out last season, with scenes highlighting multiple big fights, including a few that change the course of the series. And while they don\u2019t get a ton of attention, there\u2019s two non-action scenes that\u2026well, things are about to really change for Yuji and everyone else.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile,\u00a0Chainsaw Man\u00a0fans have the \u201cAssassins\u201d arc<\/a> to look forward to. This teaser spends its time building up Denji\u2019s next big problem. After beating Reze and getting his heart broken<\/a>, Devil Hunters from around the globe are coming to Japan to kill him. These killers for hire include three American brothers, a Chinese Hunter with Fiends under her command, and a young man and his master. At time of writing, it\u2019s still unclear on if \u201cAssassins\u201d will be another movie or a full-on season.<\/p>\n

Lastly, we\u2019ve got a tiiiiiiiny little glimpse at\u00a0Dorohedoro\u00a0season three. The anime\u2019s second season<\/a> just wrapped last month, and it didn\u2019t take long for Mappa to confirm more was in the works. Of the three anime, this one doesn\u2019t seem as far along\u2014halfway through, the trailer shifts to storyboards of what\u2019ll likely be a\u00a0wild\u00a0season for fans to experience.<\/p>\n

No release dates yet on Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man,\u00a0and\u00a0Dorohedoro,\u00a0but we\u2019ll have more on each of them as news emerges. You can see its future non-shonen offerings here<\/a>. At least one of these\u2014currently dubbed\u00a0Jimoto Saiko\u2014will be exclusive to Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n
