MAPPA Stage 2023: List of shows, timings, streaming details and countdown

With the MAPPA Stage 2023 event set to take place later this week, fans of the studio’s smash-hit anime series can’t wait to see what’s in store for them. With some of the studio’s biggest household name series set to appear, it seems to be an exciting weekend for fans of series such as Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen.

While rumors are swirling about what will be announced at the upcoming MAPPA Stage 2023 event, nothing has been confirmed as of this article’s writing. Likewise, with a trustworthy source yet to leak info on the stages and what they’ll announce, it is best to ignore such chatter and patiently wait for the event.

Per the official MAPPA Stage 2023 website, the full list of series set to have some sort of presence at the event is as follows:

Vinland Saga
Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku
Jujutsu Kaisen
Attack on Titan
Chainsaw Man
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill

Vinland Saga and Hell’s Paradise will likely use their time during the event to focus on their current seasons. While Vinland Saga is in the final stage of its second season, Hell’s Paradise is still early in its inaugural season. Both serve as the only currently airing MAPPA Studio anime series.

The Jujutsu Kaisen stage will likely focus on discussing the second season’s production, with a new trailer or inside look at the upcoming season likely to be seen. The Attack on Titan series will likely have a similar approach, focusing on the first part of its final release stage. The series might tease information or even announce a release date for the final special episode.

The Chainsaw Man anime will almost certainly announce the release date for its second cour, with more than half of the manga’s first part still unadapted. The fact that no release information for the second cour has been announced since the first’s conclusion further suggests that this will be the main topic of discussion for the series.

With the television anime adaptation of Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill, fans can anticipate two major possible focuses for the series’ time at MAPPA Stage 2023. The first would be announcing a second sequel season’s production and/or release date. The second would be primarily looking back on the first season's production, likely to pad time for the event overall.
