Jujutsu Kaisen Powers MAPPA to the Top of Asian Rankings

The anime industry is shifting and MAPPA is leading the charge. A recent report from Media Partners Asia confirms that Jujutsu Kaisen was the most watched series in seven out of eight Asian markets during the first half of 2026. This incredible popularity has pushed MAPPA to the very top of the regional studio rankings.

Vivek Couto, the CEO of Media Partners Asia, believes the future of anime growth is changing. He suggests that success is no longer tied just to streaming platforms. Instead, he points to a mix of special theatrical events and video game tie ins as the main engines for the industry moving forward.

This news is a big deal for fans who enjoy watching their favorite stories expand beyond the screen. As studios look for new ways to keep audiences engaged, we can expect to see more projects that bridge the gap between episodes, big screen cinema, and interactive gaming experiences.
