The Japan National Tax Agency recently announced that Studio Grizzly, which may be a Mappa daughter studio, was closed. We summarize.
Mappa hides relationship
Studio Grizzly was founded in December 2017 with the intention of only producing “Boys Love” anime and some fans of the genre may also be known to their titles “Twittering Birds Never Fly” and “Yarichin Bitch Club”. But that ends the chapter, because the studio was dissolved on February 20, 2025.
However, the possible relationship with Studio Mappa still leaves a thread aftertaste. Although countless indications indicate that it is a subsidiary of Mappa, the studio has never confirmed this.
Studio Grizzly was in the same building as Studio Mappa, was registered on the email address of Mappa producer Makoto Moriwaki and represented by Mappa CEO Manabu Otsuka. In addition, “Boys Love” production material accidentally landed on Mappa’s official X-account before it was deleted and posted again at Studio Grizzly.
It almost seemed as if you didn’t want to admit in public that you invest in “Boys Love” title-in the past you had with the works »Yuri !!! on ice «and» Banana Fish «at least superficially cut the topic. However, this “problem” has now dissolved in air for Mappa.
