Which Studio Should Animate Kagurabachi?

[@monthlywaffles]

Don't let MAPPA animate this one. Let their animators rest.

[@MAC_CUACHIN]

Madhouse or Ufotable.🗿

[@D6Discussions]

Based

[@OkRoomer123-]

Definitely Mappa; they’d do the action scene and the soundtrack justice

[@MAC_CUACHIN]

@OkRoomer123- Give me a break, mappa love twisted face & water soft like animation, the characters are look like marshmallows with fast phasing, what's the justice there? Dark & clear solid outline animation is better, like in Hunter x hunter 2011, one punch man, & demon slayer. Animation should look like that. And mappa animators always over work to the point the animation is affected.

[@magiksouls]

they both cant bro

[@fatpurp4041]

Personally I would love to see Ufotable do it since their camera work and CGI would fit perfectly with Kagurabachi's powers visually and it would also capture the insane persepective in the manga.

[@sohham6787]

Ufotable would be absolutely mental honestly its the best possible scenario

[@D6Discussions]

100% agree, it would be a masterpiece!

[@Saucegivers]

But, from the their track record, their only focus on One anime series then go to other

[@rajmalik7558]

My top pick would be Ufotable because Demon Slayer is close to its end and Kagurabachi is very similar to Demon Slayer at least in terms of Sword fights. But I think Mappa will end up taking the rights of Kagurabachi. Even though their production schedule is a mess since they have a lot of resources they eventually end up delivering a great product.

[@D6Discussions]

Yea Mappa will most likely end up getting the rights, hopefully they are given time to deliver

[@flavoredchin]

All things considered, we aren't going to see a WSJ series with an anime anouncement before the 120 chapter mark. But I'd need a studio that can pull off how Hokazono really isn't afraid to use a lot of page realty to move forward a very small amount of time. It's a feature of Kagurabachi that really makes the series feel cinematic.

[@D6Discussions]

That's a great take! I hope the studio that ends up animating it will be about to capture that cinematic feel!

[@Killer_Bee06]

It's possible to get it before 120

[@jakecaswell7364]

I for one think Studio Trigger should be the one to work on it, especially after working on Delicious in Dungeon as well!

[@D6Discussions]

It was an amazing adaptation!

[@smirg2975]

They're working on season 2

[@noelahg79]

This is obviously BONES.

[@Killer_Bee06]

Clover Works seems like a solid option with how Elusive Samurai is going. I would hope for Ufotable, WIT, or Trigger (Bones if Nakamura is on board or just the people who worked on Mob Psycho would take part)

[@D6Discussions]

Nakamura's style with Kagurabachi would be amazing!

[@Killer_Bee06]

@D6Discussions bro check out Nanashi vs Luo Lang, imagine that type of choreography in the series 🔥🔥🔥

[@CheeseGrater05]

Bones should’ve done it

[@BrennanHanni]

Studio Tigger or Mappa: only if mappa starts being able to hire and delegate work loads. They have great animation but they're way to "in the thick of it" to take on Kagurabachi to its fullest without sacrificing workers or other animes.

[@D6Discussions]

Yea given the proper amount of time, I'd love a mappa adaptation

[@killtyler8211]

This a KSI reference

[@HiteshKumar-up5ww]

In your opinion who should animate tower of God season 3 ??

[@yotheyfighting922]

BONES!!!

[@killtyler8211]

I’m sick of MAPPA not getting the credit it deserves. JJK season two was amazing

[@NagyPaz]

Have you heard about the animators being like prisoners and finishing episodes last minute ?

[@Dumbagon]

Yes JJK season 2 was amazing, but the whole point people are making is that MAPPA doesn’t deserve the credit for it, the animators/staff do. MAPPA gave them a near-impossible timeframe to finish season 2 in, and it’s only because of the staff’s hard work that the season didn’t completely collapse.

[@FAXEDITzs179]

It's not Mappa it's all thanks to Shota Gossozono the director with his personal connections with top tier animators they managed to brute force the horrible schedule and did better than season 1 without Gosso season 2 would have been like Blue lock Season 2

[@SimplyRohith-sv5hd]

That applies for all the studios​@@Dumbagon

[@Dumbagon]

@@SimplyRohith-sv5hd I know, I just singled out MAPPA in order to respond to the original commenter. Plus MAPPA and JJK season 2 are the most famous example of the issue

[@nemrox8737]

I think studio A Cat is woth mentioning but they can do it only after "Ending before even started" :)

[@jadenkudo3008]

TMS made great seasonal adaptations like Dr. Stone and can handle long runing series to, like Detective Conan which longer than One Piece. Pierrot have some bad adaptations like Tokyo Ghoul and shows with 90% fillers like Boruto and black clover, but have many great series too and reached new heights recently with Bleach. Mappa's adaptations are amazing too and they proved how great they can handle darker stories with Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man, but there are problems, because they overworked. So all 4 can be good, but I hope one of the other 3 will make it instead of Mappa.

[@D6Discussions]

Great take! I agree all 4 would definitely do Kagurabachi justice, I just hope that the animators are given a fair schedule

[@shivanshu2357]

I think mappa will end up taking it but i definitely dont want tms studio and cloverworks is also okay but peirrot is also great but they are too busy now and mappa to so i think it would be cloverworks but i want ufotable definitely ❤❤

[@magiksouls]

Mappa is amazing at fight scenes

[@jehurevo25]

If MAPPA gets this one, Imma lowkey be heated 😭🙏

[@byron6272]

“When they have a big ticket adaptation on their hand, they always deliver” *Mappa executing Hells Paradise in the corner

[@FAXEDITzs179]

Bro is so right

[@GAURANGX.]

Bro it looked good to me

[@D6Discussions]

Lmao yea you're right Hell's Paradise was probably made by their B team but I still enjoyed

[@byron6272]

Hells Paradise wasn’t terrible but Mappa managed it terribly and it really should have been treated as a project as big as jjk or chainsaw man. I’m pretty sure they had a bunch of interns and new animators working on it that they didn’t have the funds to have people properly managing them or guiding them on animation.

[@RippedHero2]

Pls let MAPPA animators rest

[@akiraevangelionultimateali5199]

Saru or studio 4c

[@D6Discussions]

I would love to see science saru's creativity with Kagurabachi!

[@akiraevangelionultimateali5199]

@ same with studio 4c. Hopefully one day we can get a proper Scott Pilgrim adaptation.

[@NyikoMangolele]

Ideally, I would say that the best choice imo, is mappa, especially the Seishimo line of animators who are the team responsible for jjk and chainsaw man. Mainly because if Shota Goshozzono was the series director and the production had a good schedule and the extensive connections he has with talented animators in the industry, they would create a masterpiece of a product. But because of the state theyre in rn, they shouldnt take on the project. I would say in a parallel universe, whereby mappa has a good production schedule, it'd bee the best pick ngl

[@D6Discussions]

100% agree, in a perfect world I would love to see Shota Goshozono and his team on the adaption, but yea I think it will be a while until they have that kind of time unfortunately

[@lnhimawan]

Ufotable and it will surpass fraud no yaiba.

[@D6Discussions]

Is Chihiro beating Tanjiro??

[@zangetsu.xe9]

Tf u mean fraud

[@insidejoke2483]

Considering Chihiro actually has powers, I would say he could beat Tanjiro pretty easily.

[@fate4768]

I can't even imagine Kaguraaaabaaachiii losing..

[@Goozma06]

I think Studio Wit should animate this one to be honest, theyd get the eyes perfectly done, idk Studio wit just does it differently man

[@D6Discussions]

The fight/katana choreography would go crazy

[@Goozma06]

@D6Discussions facts

[@harryprice2749]

I was going to make a video about this but genuinely I feel like I’m worried for whoever will get Kagurabachi and how it will be handled. The fact that Sakamoto Days, which is a heavily action based manga, went to TMS shows that companies are just trying to get whatever studio they can because of all the different anime in production. Also I wouldn’t put too much stock into what Tsumi is saying because that guy does a lot of fake leaks. The fact is that MAPPA’s best team working on both JJK and CSM is already a hell hole and there’s no way they can throw in Kagurabachi to that team and so it would probably go to the Hell’s Paradise team if it went to MAPPA which people would not want. CloverWorks’s best team is also trying to juggle 3 high profile projects (Bocchi, My Dress Up Darling, and Elusive Samurai) and so there’s no way that team can take on any more stuff. Ufotable I think could be a good candidate after Demon Slayer but there’s rumors that they don’t want to take on another shonen. Madhouse’s best team is preoccupied with Frieren, WIT’s best team is having massive overwork problems with Yaiba and if The One Piece continues, that team will also be busy for many years. And both Madhouse and Bones’ best teams never worked on battle Shonen before (probably out of disinterest) and in Madhouse’s case they have Frieren to worry about. As for who’s left, I feel like shows are going to have to end for that to be the case but at least Bleach is coming to an end on Pierrot’s end so maybe that could free up staff. Fire Force and MHA are also ending so maybe that can free up some people. I just say this because a lot of studios already have more on their plate than they should be able to handle and they aren’t just vending machines that can pump out any anime people want. Trigger I also unfortunately don’t see likely. They don’t typically adapt manga with them saying Delicious in Dungeon being a pretty special case. I feel like surely Kagurabachi has to get a premium adaptation because it’s “up next” but as for how that will even happen is beyond me

[@D6Discussions]

Well said! I completely forgot to consider some of Cloverwork's ongoing projects like Dress up Darling, hopefully around 2026-2027 one of these studio's will have room to start production. Yea it unfortunately seems like Ufotable isn't interested, time wise I think the best bet will be Pierrot depending of if they want to do Hell Arc or not. No matter who ends up doing it I just hope they have the proper amount of time for an adaptation. Thanks for the heads up on Tsumi, wasn't 100% sure they were credible but just wanted to speculate here. Your videos are sick btw!

[@Untitledloki]

David production, or A1 studios

[@REDRAWLXZ]

Ufotatable or mappa would kill it😢

[@AlexOut1aw]

Can any of these studios take on Blue Lock s2 from like..... episode 7 please? Im not asking for much, am I?

[@D6Discussions]

Production I.G on Blue Lock s3 would be a masterpiece!

[@AlexOut1aw]

@D6Discussions there are roomers that they were saving budget not U20 match, but for s3

[@elina1271]

Id appreciate it if studio bones picked it up.

[@D6Discussions]

I would love a studio bones adaptation

[@motastic1714]

Kind of think Ufotable would be a good fit.

[@D6Discussions]

Studio Bones! Would love to see them cook

[@Starblacknightboy]

Pierrot they might cook

[@MahambaChiputaJr]

Clover and trigger work together

[@rockalonepain3453]

Ufo table. Because if that the case. They now animated 3 animes with sword is the important thing in the story 😂

[@2NeoNeoNambu]

Studio Hibari could probably do the adaptation

[@D6Discussions]

That's an underrated pick! I think they would do it justice

[@smirg2975]

People don't give Cloverworks enough credits which I think is one of the best studio

[@D6Discussions]

Highly underrated!

[@RakiLuki-vc2gq]

These leaks hold no credibility but i appreciate the speculation

[@lilkiddyt3946]

Production I.G or Jc Staff

[@D6Discussions]

I love the fluidity of I.G projects, Jc staff is an underrated pick as well

[@lilkiddyt3946]

@@D6Discussions Jc staff did Index spin off which is railgun and they did Danmachi season 4 so i think they're a really good studio but Danmachi LN fans not liking season 5 so idk. I have faith they will deliver on OPM season 3, so I would say I.G for now.

[@barbarosking3694]

maybe blue lock studio has a chance.💀

[@D6Discussions]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Pythagorastheoremmale]

Just make it a good adaptation, i don't care as long as it's a good adaptation even if it's by 8-bit or jc staff

[@smirg2975]

PNG lock must change it's studio for season 3 man 😭

[@D6Discussions]

Yea no matter who ends doing the animation I just hope it's a good adaptation

[@KoroBlack]

Undead unluck make by david pictures, not tms

[@D6Discussions]

Yes I should have clarified, David Productions animated Undead Unluck but TMS Entertainment is the production company

[@KoroBlack]

@D6Discussions yea,but not the studio,because they make anime too,and david production,is the maker of fire force,jojo is really amazing studio

never peirrot

[@kurokishizx]

Get TMS' paws off they ruined it with Sakamoto Days meh animation their only strong point is adapting the manga's artstyle well

[@D6Discussions]

Yea I'm interested to see how the season pans out for Sakamoto Days, I was hoping for JJK/CSM levels of animation for it but at least the art style is nice

[@Icegaze88]

Not MAPPA! Please!!!

[@DisciplinedKei]

Piero would be cool I won’t lie, but man… mappa if they do it I just hope the workers don’t get overworked like before but if they do it… i can see why.

[@D6Discussions]

Yea that's the tough thing about mappa, I love their projects but their production is inhumane. I hope one day the industry as a whole can have find a balance

[@mastersonic707]

Clover Studios, Studio Trigger or Ufotable
