From "Jujutsu Kaisen" and "Attack on Titan: The Final Season" to the visceral "Chainsaw Man," MAPPA has consistently redefined the boundaries of modern Japanese animation. Now, to celebrate 15 years of boundary-pushing creativity, the powerhouse studio has officially unveiled the "MAPPA 15th Anniversary Key Visual —Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc ver.—" This stunning piece marks the first of three planned anniversary visuals, with the second and third installments set to be revealed in the near future.

MAPPA 15th Anniversary Key Visual: Vol. 1 Revealed
The first "MAPPA 15th Anniversary Key Visual —Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc ver.—" is a specially commissioned illustration featuring Reze emerging from the shadows of a dim alleyway toward a beacon of light. With a light, almost buoyant stride, Reze moves forward into the unknown. It’s the kind of image that makes you want to stop and imagine exactly what kind of scenery is waiting for her just beyond our line of sight.
This visual was created as a tribute to our 15th-anniversary milestone and as a heartfelt thank you to all the fans who continue to support our work. This is the first of three planned "MAPPA 15th Anniversary Key Visuals," and we look forward to sharing more newly drawn illustrations soon. Stay tuned for further updates!
