Director Manabu Ootsuka , CEO of MAPPA , wrote, “ We want anime to be the most important thing, not the company name or brand. Anime titles are everything. It would be enough for people to know only our works, not MAPPA in particular .”
The quote had an ironic tone 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 that is known… As if no one in Zombieland Saga Revenge realized that the MAPPA name is as big as the series logo;
- Please. The passion and effort that goes into most MAPPA productions when they reach the screen, and the sheer amount of work they put in to make their quality possible, isn't reflected in the General Director's mouth. All you see is money.
- It's 2022 and there are still people swallowing a CEO's words as if they were true.
Therefore, the quote is from the book “ MAPPA BOOK 10th ANNIVERSARY ”, published in the last quarter of 2021 as part of the 10th anniversary of MAPPA in Japan.
Finally, many of the comments were due to the revelation that director Teruyuki Oomine revealed on Twitter that he “ finally got to go home after three days ”. Check it out .
