MAPPA is about to make history again. The studio behind some of the most iconic anime of the past decade has announced its 15th Anniversary Event on June 19, 2026, and the lineup of reveals is absolutely stacked. We are talking about six major anime titles getting fresh announcements in a single event — and every single one of them is a fan-favorite franchise.
If you thought 2026 was already an insane year for anime, MAPPA is about to prove you wrong. Here is everything we know about the event, what titles are confirmed, and why June 19 might be the most important date on the anime calendar this year.
What Is the MAPPA 15th Anniversary Event?
MAPPA Studios, founded in 2011, has grown from a scrappy newcomer to arguably the most dominant force in modern anime production. From Attack on Titan: The Final Season to Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and beyond, MAPPA has become synonymous with high-stakes, visually stunning action anime.
To celebrate 15 years of groundbreaking animation, the studio is hosting a special anniversary event on June 19, 2026, where it will unveil new information about six major franchises simultaneously. This is not your typical panel — this is a full-scale production reveal with trailers, key visuals, and possibly premiere dates.
The 6 Titles Expected to Get Major Reveals
While MAPPA has not confirmed every title on the list, multiple industry reports and teasers have pointed to the following franchises getting significant updates:
1. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 — The Culling Game Begins
This is the big one. Following the conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 in March 2026, fans have been desperate for news about Season 4, which will adapt the Culling Game arc. We already know MAPPA confirmed that Season 4 is officially in production, and new character visuals featuring the Culling Game participants dropped just days ago on June 12.
At the anniversary event, expect the first full trailer, a confirmed release window, and possibly the reveal of new key animation staff. The Culling Game is widely considered the most intense arc in the entire series, so fans should brace themselves for something epic.

2. Chainsaw Man Season 2 — The Assassins Arc
After the Reze Arc movie took the anime world by storm, MAPPA is now set to adapt the Assassins Arc for Season 2 of the Chainsaw Man anime. Multiple reports confirm that June 19 will bring the first official look at this highly anticipated season, potentially including a trailer, key visual, and release date announcement.
The Assassins Arc introduces some of the most brutal and complex characters in the Chainsaw Man universe, and fans are expecting MAPPA to push the animation quality even further than what they delivered in Season 1 and the Reze film.
3. Attack on Titan — A New Chapter?
This is the most mysterious reveal on the list. Attack on Titan concluded its manga years ago, and MAPPA wrapped up the anime adaptation with The Final Season: The Final Chapters. So what could MAPPA possibly announce?
Speculation is running wild. Some fans believe this could be a spin-off series focusing on the Survey Corps’ untold missions. Others think it might be a theatrical compilation with new footage. And a few are holding out hope for a spin-off centered on the Warriors or the Marley arc. Whatever it is, MAPPA would not tease an Attack on Titan reveal without it being something genuinely surprising.
4. Hell’s Paradise (Jigokuraku) — Season 2?
Hell’s Paradise Season 1 was one of the sleeper hits of 2023, and the manga has more than enough source material for a second season. With MAPPA juggling multiple franchises, a Hell’s Paradise Season 2 announcement at the anniversary event would make perfect timing.
5. Dorohedoro — The Cult Classic Returns
Dorohedoro’s first season was a wild, chaotic ride that built a devoted cult following. MAPPA’s unique animation style was tailor-made for the series’ grotesque, neon-drenched world. A Season 2 announcement here would send longtime fans into a frenzy.
6. A Brand-New Original Anime?
MAPPA has a history of announcing surprise original projects at major events. With 15 years of creative firepower, the studio could easily debut a teaser for a completely new anime — one that could become the next breakout hit. Think Yuri on Ice levels of surprise.
Why This Event Matters More Than You Think
The timing of this event is no accident. Summer 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most competitive anime seasons in recent memory, and MAPPA is positioning itself to dominate the conversation. By packing six major reveals into a single event, the studio is essentially declaring war on every other studio’s summer lineup.
Consider the ripple effects: a new Jujutsu Kaisen trailer alone could generate millions of views within hours. Combine that with Chainsaw Man Season 2, a possible Attack on Titan revival, and three other reveals, and you are looking at a social media explosion that could overshadow every other anime announcement of the year.

What Fans Should Watch For
When the event drops on June 19, here are the key details to look out for:
- Release dates — Will JJK Season 4 get a specific premiere window (Fall 2026? Winter 2027?)?
- Staff announcements — New directors or animation directors could signal a shift in creative direction
- Key visuals — First looks at Culling Game characters, Chainsaw Man Assassins Arc designs
- Surprise projects — MAPPA loves a good curveball; expect at least one announcement nobody saw coming
- Streaming partnerships — Which platforms will carry these titles? Crunchyroll? Netflix? HIDIVE?
The Stakes Are Higher Than Ever
MAPPA has been under intense scrutiny in recent years. The studio has taken on an enormous workload, juggling multiple high-profile productions simultaneously. Some fans have raised concerns about animator burnout and production quality. The June 19 event is MAPPA’s chance to reassure fans that it is still firing on all cylinders.
If the studio delivers on these six reveals with strong trailers, solid release dates, and evidence of healthy production pipelines, it could cement MAPPA’s legacy as the undisputed king of action anime for the next decade.
Final Thoughts
June 19, 2026 is circling on the calendar, and anime fans everywhere should be ready. Whether you are here for Yuji Itadori’s next battle, Denji’s return, or whatever surprise MAPPA has waiting in the wings, one thing is certain: this event is going to be massive.
