| Studio MAPPA stands for Maruyama Animation Produce Project Association. It was founded by the co-founder of Studio Madhouse after Maruyama resigned from the company. (I think when NTV bought Madhouse in 2011, there are some conflict so Maruyama left the company which is really sad because he spearheaded Satoshi Kon's Dreaming Machine. ) People tell us that Mappa "The objective behind the studio is to achieve greater creative freedom to pursue projects that may be less obviously commercial." A list of their works: Kids on the Slope (co-produced with Tezuka Productions) (2012) Teekyu (2012 – 2013) Hajime no Ippo: Rising (co-produced with Madhouse) (2013 – 2014) Terror in Resonance (2014)[4] Garo: The Animation (2014 – 2015) Rage of Bahamut: Genesis[5] (2014) Punch Line (2015)[6] Ushio and Tora (co-produced with Studio VOLN) (2015 – 2016)[7] In This Corner of the World (TBA) What do you think of them? Do they produced anime classics like MH though they are still a young studio? Any MAPPA works that you like? |

| Judging by their works, they seem like a solid studio, though I'm no huge fan or anything. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| they suck ass |
 |
| Bahamut and Punchline are very good but can be forgotten by anybody in a few years according to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AHo-_XEV6E&feature=youtu.be&t=1m45s Maruyama is the reason why Madhouse went bankrupt and he can do that with MAPPA again from the way the disc sales are going for MAPPA, but they are still a new studio so lets see if anything will change for the better |
| i liked zankyou no terror and teekyuu soo they're alright i guess |
 |
| After Punch Line, I think they're fucking terrible. |
| they dont suck ass |
 |
| is it a relative of studio kappa? epic fail joke lol |
 But you'll still take damage! |
| but really OP your fandom of anything Madhouse is too much seeing you always make threads about them |
| Shingeki no Bahamut: Good Hajime no Ippo Rising: Great Garo the Animation: Great Teekyuu: Good Ushio and Tora: Decent enough so far Zankyou no Terror: Shit Punchline: Shit Kids on the Slope: Never saw. Looks very interesting though. A fine repertoire so far. Even when they aren't good it's hard to deny any effort or creativity being put into their stuff. Now if Maruyama would just get to making my sig a reality..... |

| MAPPA so far never dissapoint me though a fairly new studio. Not changing this signature until`MAPPA announces that they're adapting Naoki Urasawa's Pluto if that happening that is wonderful. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| I liked punchline and loved terror in resonance so i think their a good studio |
 |
| Too good for a new studio They put much detail to their works They shood hire new story writers and directors tho coz so far, they didnt made a show with an above average stories tho :/ |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |

Shikese said: aikaflip said: howAfter Punch Line, I think they're fucking terrible. How what? How is Punch Line terrible? It's a boring, incoherent mess; it's one of the few shows I couldn't finish. Now mind you, I don't have a problem with ecchi. I'm watching Shimoneta this season, and I think it's hilarious. But, to be fair, I haven't seen much of MAPPA's work, so maybe they aren't consistently terrible. |
| i think MAPPA is good, because the animation so great and it has some amazing story, my favorite is Zankyou no Terror |
 |
| forgetable very average, I don't think they have done anything that wasn't forgetable or average |
| MAPPA is by far the best studio around. They've got some of the best animation quality (second probably only to UFOtable) and they put a lot of attention into their work. Teekyuu is pretty much the short that made shorts. Terror in Resonance is the closest to perfect an anime has gotten in the past few years (fuck y'all guys who don't know what metaphorical character writing is). Rage of Bahamut is the closest to Pirates of the Caribbean level of fun anime has ever gotten. Garo is just straight up the best anime of 2014. And all three of these were out in 2014. |
| Punchline was average. terror something is full of teen angst Ushio to tora is their best work in years. |

| great studio |
| Hajime no Ippo is the best show they made but that is a collaboration with Madhouse. |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
Imaishi said: they suck ass hear hear Kids on the Slope - haven't seen,production wise I heard good things though Teekyu - good short,but well it's a short Hajime no Ippo: Rising - haven't seen Terror in Resonance - looked great,problems lie elsewhere Garo: The Animation - underwhelming,but some fight scenes were excellent Rage of Bahamut: Genesis - an actually good medieval fantasy anime,the source material being a card game makes their work even more praiseworthy imo Punch Line - dropped Ushio and Tora - so far so good,MAPPA really managed to give it a retro feel.Could very well become their best work I wouldn't say they have produced masterpieces or classics yet but they are on a good way.Really liking that they adapt a retro shonen and stick to the older style,unlike Madhouse. Also they are making SnB:G 2nd Season and that's a good thing. But it all depends on who's working on the project so it's hard for me to give credit. One thing is for sure though,they make better shows than "post Tatami Galaxy Madhouse". |
 |
| Imo, they are one of the better studios. In terms of "solidness" I would place them alongside J.C staff, which is good-> very good. |

| The studio is absolutely amazing. I don't have much shows from them rated highly, I can't say that I liked all of their shows, but I love MAPPA as a studio. They've produced so much different shows. Shingeki no Bahamut and Zankyou no Terror were absolutely stunning art wise, those are easily one of the best looking shows; Punchline took a bit more simplistic, almost cartoonish but still very interesting choise of artwork, at least in my eyes ( not to mention how interesting and unique the itself was ); and now we have Ushio to Tora, packing 90s looking visuals. I might not like all of their stuff, heck I dislike some of their shows, but I respect the hell out of them for trying so many different things - visually and actually content wise. |

That's actually true. I really dislike studios which repetively dish out the same types of shows just because they sell (looking at you, KyoAni). Variety is so important imo that any studio which actually takes risks is one whose shows I will always look forward to. Mappa is already among the best visually but they still have a lot of work when it comes to the script though, SNB and ZNT were mostly style over substance. |
| I've recently become a fan of studio MAPPA. My general thoughts on this studio is a positive one and I will continue watching anything that the studio works on. |

| I think it's a boring studio. The only good thing I saw from it was Teekyuu, which they decided to stop working on. |

| I probably regret this post by now. |

They stopped working on the only good show that I saw from them, which makes me think a bit less of them. |
| I'm waiting for them to start production on the Dream Machine, Satoshi Kon's unfinished movie, as they promised years ago (apparently the studio was created with that end in mind). Otherwise, I don't care really care much about MAPPA, as they haven't made anything worthwhile yet. |
 |
| A pretty good studio. Honestly, I've only watched Zankyou no Terror from them so far, but from what I've read, their works display a wide range of creative freedom. I dropped Punchline (I'm kind of iffy on ecchi), but I love Ushio to Tora so far. The animation quality is very nice and consistent. Now if they'd just actually animated Urasawa's manga Pluto in the future... |

| HOW CAN ABSOLUTELY NONE OF YOU HAVE SEEN KIDS ON THE SLOPE? I never thought it was so underappreciated. You guys NEED to see it right away! its literally studio Mappas best production (not to mention its just generally one of the best titles you'll see lately). Gosh, the art, direction, animation, ost, everything was just majestic. Plus they adapted the full manga so that too. Mappa is amazing simply because of that, not to mention Zankyou, Shingeki no Bahamut and Punch Line. All extremely beautiful shows ( okay punch line not so much). But seriously, the studio outdid itself during its very first production (and believe me i've seen Baccano!, Steins;Gate, AnoHana, Fate/Zero(F/Sn too), Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, Barakamon, Psycho Pass etc, and i still think Kids on the Slope is equal to (if not better) than most of these). |

| Shingeki no Bahamut and GARO had pretty solid animation IIRC. They're pretty good as a studio imo. |
 |
| I don't think they've yet to do anything outstanding but I respect their impressive production quality. They've made two of the most visually stunning anime series I've seen in years. Since they're a fairly new studio I think they have potential but I wonder how they will cope financially. |

Dont make me laugh dude your post is even less relevant to this thread(not to mention corny as fuck what are you 12) then mine but diference is i am sarcastic while you are serious too weak is that best you got maybe it would work on 11 year olds not me. Keep on dick riding them you will get far. |

| They're pretty good, not gonna lie. |
 |
| I like them. I only consider Kids on the Slope to be great (haven't watched all their stuff though) and I don't like everything that I watched made by them. However they're pretty diverse and I appreciate that they don't make the same type of show over and over. Besides I've to say that even the shows that I don't really like are still pretty well made (art/animation/ost wise). |
| I think they are a solid studio. Pretty young but they've done some good work. If they adapt Ushio to Tora properly then they could end up becoming a really great studio. |
