In an interview with Japanese media Comic Natalie, Ootsuka commented on several aspects about MAPPA, such as its foundation and management. Furthermore, he comments that, when he took on the role of CEO, he already imagined how to survive in this field.
It is difficult to reach a level of quality like Ufotable and Kyoto Animation, which are considered the best animation studios in Japan. So Ootsuka increased his studio's productivity to stand out in the market in a short time.
“Not in the small picture of the animation industry, but as a company. When we thought about what we needed to do to achieve this, the first thing was to increase productivity. It is difficult to reach the quality of Kyoto Animation and Ufotable in a short time, and it is too late for MAPPA to try to reach that level in 20 or 30 years. Therefore, we had to take a different approach than the studios that preceded us. “So we thought about how we could produce a lot and gain experience while maintaining a high level of quality, and at the same time brand the studio and enter the race with these studios in the shortest possible time.”
Synopsis:
