Mark your calendars for June 19, 2026. If you are an anime fan, this date might just rewrite the entire industry landscape for the rest of the year. Studio MAPPA is throwing a massive 15th Anniversary Lineup Reveal livestream, and the confirmed list of titles getting updates is absolutely stacked. This is not hype — this is the real deal.
MAPPA has been on an absolute tear over the past decade. From Attack on Titan’s final seasons to Jujutsu Kaisen’s global domination and Chainsaw Man’s explosive debut, the studio has become synonymous with anime excellence. And for its 15th birthday, they are bringing the entire roster together for what could be the biggest single-day anime announcement in recent memory.
The Confirmed Lineup — Six Titles and Counting
MAPPA has officially confirmed that its June 19 livestream will feature new information on at least six major titles. Here is everything we know so far, ranked by how much our jaws are about to drop.
1. Chainsaw Man Season 2 — The International Assassins Arc
This is arguably the most anticipated sequel in modern anime. MAPPA confirmed that Chainsaw Man Season 2 will adapt the International Assassins Arc — and June 19 is getting a first official look. After Season 1’s cinematic brutality and the movie’s Reze reveal, expectations are through the roof. Think: Denji vs. the world’s deadliest assassins across multiple countries, with Quanxi, Yoru, and a cast of new killers joining the chaos.
2. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 — First Major Update
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 has been airing in 2026 and has already delivered some of the most brutal animated fights this year — the Zenin Massacre and Sendai Colony battles alone were cultural events. Season 4 is the next chapter, and June 19 will deliver its first official major update. Will we get a release date? A key visual? A full trailer? The hype train is already leaving the station.
3. Attack on Titan — A New Project Returns
Three years after the anime finale, Attack on Titan is officially back. Koei Tecmo’s A.O.T. 3 game by Omega Force was announced to cover the full events of the anime and manga, with details arriving July 1. But the MAPPA event might reveal something separate from the game — potentially a new anime project, recap film, or spin-off series. The fan community is already speculating wildly, and for good reason.
4. Hell’s Paradise Season 3
Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku has been one of MAPPA’s most underrated gems. The story of Gabimaru, Sagiri, and the death-row criminals sent to the immortal-seeking island has only gotten more intense with each season. Season 3 is confirmed to be on the table, and the June 19 reveal could give us our first glimpse of what’s next for the ninja and his executioner.
5. Dorohedoro Season 2
The gritty, bizarre, and absolutely bonkers Dorohedoro finally returns. This is the one fans have been demanding for years. With its unique 3D-CGI-meets-dark-fantasy aesthetic, Dorohedoro Season 2 promises more of Caiman’s head-scratching (literally) adventures in the Hole. MAPPA bringing this back is a win for anime fans who crave something completely different.
6. Ranma ½ — The Remake Continues
Rumiko Takahashi’s beloved comedy Ranma ½ is getting its remake treatment from MAPPA, and the June 19 event will likely showcase more details on upcoming episodes. After years of waiting for a proper Ranma adaptation, this is the gift fans did not know they needed — and it is delivering exactly what they wanted.
Why This Event Matters More Than You Think
Here is the thing: MAPPA does not throw parties for no reason. A 15th anniversary event with six confirmed titles getting updates on a single day is unprecedented. This is not just a studio celebrating a milestone — it is a statement. MAPPA is signaling that it is the dominant force in anime production right now, and it has the lineup to back it up.
Consider the context: Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man are two of the three pillars of modern Shonen Jump alongside One Piece. Attack on Titan is arguably the most globally recognized anime of the past decade. And MAPPA has been the studio behind all of them. The June 19 event is essentially a victory lap that also doubles as a showcase of everything coming next.
How to Watch the MAPPA 15th Anniversary Event
The livestream will air on the official MAPPA YouTube Channel on June 19, 2026. It will be broadcast globally, so regardless of your timezone, you can tune in. The event will also feature a special talk segment with director Yuichiro Hayashi and voice actress Yui Ishikawa, adding behind-the-scenes depth to the announcements.
For those who cannot watch live, MAPPA will likely upload the full stream afterward, and clips will flood social media within minutes. But trust us — you want to be there live for the reactions.
The Bigger Picture — MAPPA’s Global Expansion
Beyond the June 19 event, MAPPA has announced a traveling exhibition across Japanese cities and a global Attack on Titan orchestral concert tour launching in October 2026. This is not just about anime anymore — MAPPA is building a cultural empire. The studio is positioning itself as the Marvel of anime, with interconnected franchises, live experiences, and a brand that transcends traditional animation.
And the June 19 event is the crown jewel of this expansion. Every announcement ripples outward into merchandise, streaming numbers, social media engagement, and fan communities worldwide.
What We Are Most Excited For
Let us be honest: the Chainsaw Man International Assassins Arc reveal is probably the one that will break the internet. But a close second is whatever MAPPA has planned for Attack on Titan. If it is a new anime project — even a recap film — the emotional impact on fans will be massive. And do not sleep on Dorohedoro Season 2 — that show is criminally underrated and deserves the spotlight.
