"Chainsaw Man" is a wild deviation from the typical shōnen manga -- Tatsuki Fujimoto went above and beyond in its art and storytelling, using seemingly superficial violence, action, and vulgarity to tell a profound story about human desires, found family, and control. When it came time to adapt the wildly popular series, Mappa naturally saw fit to deviate in its own way. To do justice to the unconventional storytelling methods, the Tokyo-headquartered studio chose to pull from a new generation of talent to get it right. A director as youthful and energetic as the original manga.
While that decision could've backfired, Mappa had a proven track record that seemed to justify its stance. In recent memory, the studio has been responsible for a bunch of popular adaptations -- most notably, the likes of "Jujutsu Kaisen" and the final season of "Attack on Titan." Both of these anime were visually ambitious...

"Chainsaw Man" was a challenge to adapt from the very beginning. Not just because of its violence and sexual content, but because of its many faces. Sometimes the series is a knowingly stupid action thriller. At other times, it's a bittersweet coming-of-age tale, a skin-crawling horror story, a commentary on labor under late capitalism, and a heartfelt ode to bad movies. The protagonist Denji is an aspirational everyman who fights devils with chainsaws, but he's also a sadboy whose pitiful dreams are easily manipulated. Rather than simply alternating between comedy, horror, and tragedy, creator Tatsuki Fujimoto blends them so that the reader is constantly pulled in whatever direction they least expect. He's the young comics equivalent of Bong Joon-ho, if Bong had a deep love of Syfy schlock like "Sharknado."
Adapting "Chainsaw Man" required threading together these contradictory impulses, while simultaneously transforming the material so that it worked on screen.

"Jujutsu Kaisen 0" is finally available to stream on Crunchyroll after a successful theatrical release. The prequel film tells the story of Yuta Okkotsu, a special-grade sorcerer, before the events of the anime's first season. With a highly anticipated second season on the way, "Jujutsu Kaisen" is more popular than ever.
A large part of the success of "Jujutsu Kaisen" is Studio Mappa, the animation studio behind the anime adaptation. Without the hard work of the animation team bringing Akutami's vivid fights to life from page to screen, there would be no Jujutsu Kaisen anime, let alone one as stylish and visceral as we got.
According to the animation team behind the film and the series, animating the fight scenes is easy; the more high-concept ideas and original material not in the manga are the hard parts. With how much a manga like "Jujutsu Kaisen" uses exposition to explain concepts like cursed techniques,...

Annecy, France — On Tuesday night at the Annecy Intl. Animation Festival, Netflix held one of its most highly-anticipated panels for one of its most dedicated fan-bases: Netflix Original Anime: A Celebration of Anime and a Look Ahead.
Appropriately enough, this year’s festival is honoring Japan and its animation tradition, past and present, as the official Guest Country. Netflix, eager to capitalize on that tradition, and embed itself in the Japanese market as a producer, has commissioned a strong slate of originals and reboots meant to honor the country’s animation history while pushing the envelope of narrative and technology.
Announced last December, Netflix has commissioned a new “Ghost in the Shell” reboot titled: “Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045” from “Ultraman” directors Shinji Aramaki and Kenji Kamiyama. The two confirmed on Tuesday night that relative animation newcomer Ilya Kuvshinow will head character design on the show. Accompanying the announcement,...
