Gonna have to wait for the BR release for this one iykwim. Other than that the teaser looks quite good, better than what I expected. Just hoping that the rumours about the story being rushed like GoHS are false.

Now that MAPPA is doing Jigo, it would be interesting to know who is doing Vinland S2 then.

Looks solid enough, so it's safe to say those leakers are false.

Nah, it's more about being treated as a underhuman.

I mean MAPPA has many animators and staff, including the most in the industry besides Ufotable, so each animator taked a different project.

MAPPA is not that big of a studio, it’s one of the younger ones in Japan and the number of animators that work there is very low compared to some titans like Sunrise, Toei or Pierrot.
MAPPA’s work force is very talented but they are spread extremely fuckin thin, they are making too many anime a year, Ufotable only makes 1-2 anime every year while MAPPA makes 5-6. The talent they have is used very poorly, they make way too many anime that turn out alright animation-wise, but the animators end up overworked and half beaten to death. Imagine if they actually used all that talent and workforce to focus them on 1-2 anime a year, they would then be in the same spectrum as Ufotable and old KyoAni then.

Believing that every animator at MAPPA only has to work on one project is just silly.

Why do you think it's silly?? In fact the staff of each anime they are working on is different. Just look at CSM staff, JJK staff and AOT staff then compare it. after all not only MAPPA almost all popular studios including WIT, Cloverworks, Bones, Silver Link, TMS, JC Staff are also working on a lot of anime, but people tend to ignore this fact.

@Tendo_GM
Is the data you gave up to date?? I tried to find it and only Sunrise has more staff or animators than MAPPA with 292. while Pierrot is below MAPPA. I can't find any info for Toei.

I prefer Gabi's manga representation. He was more tiny, gritty, and hollow there. Gabi in the trailer seemed to have grown much taller and had more angst
