MAPPA what the hell– at least two original anime you created have announced movies with no confirmed release year, let alone date, right? And you're making another new original?

...Huh. Maybe they have the same problem I have with never finishing stories before starting new ones...

Man I'm worried Mappa is streching too thin

  Most of the time MAPPA gets good directors with good contacts, Mappa animators are secondary animators in those projects (They work less), and it seems like this is one of those, I really wish they stuck to what they have, always relying on big names to animate their project just makes the threshold higher, it's already noticeable on the new JJK season, after the old director left, the new director asked for simpler designs and it also lacks more fluid animation, that's why to me the best example of what MAPPA is capable of is their take on attack on titan, really hard to animate, really hard to storyboard, really hard to deal with in general but they did an OK job.
  
  Since MAPPA got a good director with crazy contacts, again, the chances of this falling animation-wise are really low, either way, I don't like how MAPPA generally handles the storyboards and storytelling, so this is not a huge deal to me, just cool to see another Adult Swim production.

Love this news, Watanabe's work is some of my favorite. But Jesus, MAPPA! Can you give your employees a break? No wonder Ice Adolescence has been in the dark for the past 6 YEARS!

This and the Uzumaki adaptation are probably my most anticipated anime for 2024. Hope it turns out better than Pluto
