Also, as a Korean myself, I was deeply intrigued by the concept of animating a Korean WEBTOON series, so I considered it a great opportunity.” “The action was incredible, and I knew right away that I wanted to animate that with my own hands. I was familiar with the name The God of High School, but I hadn’t read the series, so I read the entire thing right after that,” director Park said. “ Otsuka-san, the president of MAPPA, gave me a proposal. For his third time as director, he directed Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 and then the movie Jujutsu Kaisen 0. The GOHS anime is Park’s second time directing a major anime after Garo: Vanishing Line. Sunghoo Park's retirement from Mappa was known in the corners months ago, now it is confirmed, I hope that now he will have more freedom for his projects.Īlthough Studio MAPPA is Japanese, director Park and series composition scriptwriter Kiyoko Yoshimura are both South Korean.ĭirector Park told Crunchyroll that as a child, he was hooked on Macross but was also interested in going to America due to Pixar Animation Studio.ĭirector Park chose Japan for his animation studies. Chainsaw Man anime director Ryu Nakayama is also a freelancer, not a permanent employee. Director Park had worked in various roles at MAPPA since 2014, but in the past he’s also worked for Studio BONES (Space Dandy), Studio Sunrise (Tiger & Bunny), Production I.G. That means director Park was still freelancing with Studio MAPPA during the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie production.Īnime production staff are typically freelancing contractors who jump between studios so it’s still possible for director Park to return for directing other MAPPA projects. Keep in mind that Studio E&H Production was formed in March 2021. The official website lists 8 employees in total and they’ve been advertising for positions for a year. According to this new studio’s background director Yann Le Gall, they’ve begun work on a new anime project. In mid-March 2022, it was claimed by a Weibo source that director Park and several talented individuals had left Studio MAPPA to start his own new studio, E&H Production. The biggest question is whether or not South Korean director Sunghoo Park (Seong Ho Park) will return to helm the second season. The God of High School Season 2 staff and studio haven’t been confirmed yet. In the future, they’re releasing notables such as the Chainsaw Man anime, the Jigokaraku: Hell’s Paradise anime, the Yuri!!! on Ice movie: Ice Adolescence, and the Zombieland Saga movie. Since releasing GoHS, MAPPA has also worked on Jujutsu Kaisen, The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace anime, and Attack On Titan Season 4. Pic credit: YongJe ParkĪrguably, The God of Highschool anime has one major factor working in its favor: it’s being produced by animation studio MAPPA, the studio that has given us anime such as Garo, Punch Line, Yuri On Ice, Kakegurui, Inuyashiki, Banana Fish, Zombie Land Saga, Dororo, and Dorohedoro. Special end card art was created by Webtoon creator YongJe Park for The God of High School Episode 13’s ending. Similarly, the official Twitter accounts, both English and Japanese, and the official site’s news section were silent on the matter of a second season. Episode 13’s ending may have teased what comes next in the story, but it didn’t announce a production decision. Unfortunately, The God of Highschool Season 2 anime is being treated the same way. Still, Crunchyroll has shown no sign of immediately renewing any of its Crunchyroll Originals for a second season, although representatives certainly teased the Tower of God Season 2 anime. With fewer options available, it’s not surprising more eyes were on ToG. Big-name competitors like One Piece, Boruto, Re:ZERO, Black Clover, and the final season of the Sword Art Online: Alicization anime were delayed by months due to the effects of COVID-19 on the anime industry. Now, to be fair, Tower of God stood out largely due to the lack of competition. While the GOHS anime has made it to the Top 5 it’s still not as popular as seasonal competitors like the Re:Zero Season 2 anime series, which already has its producer discussing Re:Zero Season 3. ![]() ![]() The Tower of God Season 2 anime is reportedly in production. The first was the Tower of God (Kami no Tou) anime, which made it to the top of Crunchyroll’s popular anime list. ![]()
