History Creator / MAPPA

* DevelopmentHell: The ''Yuri on Ice'' film was announced way back in 2017. It was originally slated to release 2019, but as of late 2021, there's been no word on it.

* AwesomeDearBoy: Their adaptation of ''Manga/ChainsawMan'' straddles is the first title the studio not only actively sought to adapt, but is the first time they're producing a title on their own without any committee oversight like the rest of their titles.

* UnreliableIllustrator: Have gotten this in more recent years thanks to series like ''Banana Fish'' and ''Dororo'' having wildly inconsistent animation quality between episodes. In more recent years, the use of dozens of animation directors, some from outside companies such as Creator/StudioMassket, has drawn ire from fans, with the results being markedly visible onscreen. This is best exemplified with both ''Takt-op Destiny'' (Where their episodes would have upwards to 10 animation supervisors or more as opposed to the 1 or 2 on partner studio Madhouse's episodes) and their run on ''Attack On Titan'' (which had animators outright come out to complain about the practices MAPPA employs).
* TroubledProduction: The studio has gained something of a reputation in recent years for accepting just about any project pitched to them. Reportedly they were the ''only'' anime studio willing to produce the final season of ''Attack on Titan'' on the demanded schedule and considering the anime industry is infamous for the demands it places on its workers, that says something. Practically none of this is helped by the studio's incessant abuse of animation directors, some not only affiliated with other companies, but not even from within Japan. Even ''Chainsaw Man'' would fall victim to this later in its run, with animators reporting the hellish conditions, and industry vet Hironori Tanaka is stated to have to worked standing up to get his animation done without passing out from exhaustion.

* StartMyOwn: Masao Maruyama formed MAPPA after retiring from Madhouse in 2011 when he was 70 years old.
