Director Manabu Ootsuka , CEO of the company MAPPA , wrote “ We want the anime to be the most important thing, not the company name or brand. Anime titles are everything. It would be enough for people to only know about our works, not MAPPA in particular .”
The quote had a tone of irony interpreted by the fan community in the comments:
- Of course, exploiting their employees and accepting wholesale projects to monopolize the industry... It seems very believable... Of course, we don't want MAPPA to be the name it's known for... As if no one in Zombieland Saga Revenge realized that MAPPA's name is as big as the series logo;
- Please. The passion and effort that most MAPPA productions take when they hit the screen and the kind of hellish work they do to make their quality possible is not reflected in the mouth of the General Director. All you see is money
- It's 2022 and there are still people swallowing a CEO's words as if they were true.
So the quote is in the book “ Mappa Book 10th Anniversary ”, published in the last quarter of 2021 as part of the 10th anniversary of the Mappa in Japan.
Finally, many of the comments were due to the revelation that director Teruyuki Oomine revealed on Twitter that he " finally managed to go home after three days ." Check it out .
