MAPPA's anniversary exhibition names three titles, and our pages hold one free episode of them
The headline names Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan and Jujutsu Kaisen. Across the 32 entries carrying those names, production states a single free episode, and it is Jujutsu Kaisen's first.

MAPPA has revealed new details about an upcoming exhibition tied to a 15th anniversary, including a look at the displays. The headline at Anime Corner names Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan and Jujutsu Kaisen among the highlights. Our cached copy of that summary is cut off, so the displays themselves sit outside what we can report.
One free episode across thirty two entries
A title match against our index returns 3 entries carrying the name Chainsaw Man, 21 carrying Attack on Titan or Shingeki no Kyojin, and 8 carrying Jujutsu Kaisen, so 32 entries in all. Every one of those 32 pages was fetched from animesphere.app today. All 32 returned HTTP 200 and none failed to load.
Across the whole set, production states exactly one free episode. It belongs to Jujutsu Kaisen, and it is episode 1. All 3 Chainsaw Man entries state no free episodes, and so do all 21 Attack on Titan entries.
That single episode has eight separate uploads recorded against it in our index, from Crunchyroll's main channel and from its regional channels. We opened the copy on the main channel, @crunchyroll, which carries a YouTube verified badge: 1,445 seconds, an unrestricted country list, and a watch page reporting only an automatic Japanese caption track. Frames taken roughly a quarter and roughly three quarters of the way through show English subtitle lines burned into the picture. That copy is Japanese audio with English subtitles in the image. It is not an English dub.
Why Attack on Titan reads zero
Our index does hold 25 free episode rows against the 2013 Attack on Titan series. All 25 are recorded in our own database as the French dub. Our pages count an episode as free for a viewer only when it is English or Japanese, which is why the count shown is none.
The 2013 series and its first three seasons are credited to WIT STUDIO. MAPPA is credited on the Final Season entries, and those entries carry no episode rows at all.
The wider census, and Yuri!!! on ICE
Our index records 106 entries credited to MAPPA. All 106 pages were fetched today, all 106 returned HTTP 200, and none failed. Exactly 5 of them state any free episode. Those 5 hold 7 free episodes between them, and 4 of the 5 state a single episode each.
Yuri!!! on ICE is credited to MAPPA in our index, which records 12 episodes for it. Its live page states 3 free episodes and adds the note "Japanese audio". All 3 were checked against their uploads today:
- 3 of 3 resolved, with no fetch failures, three distinct episode identities, no duplicates, and no case of one video filed against two episodes.
- The upload titles read "Yuri!!! on ICE Episode 1", "Episode 2" and "Episode 3", matching the episode numbers we store.
- They sit on the Crunchyroll channel, @crunchyroll, which carries a YouTube verified badge, with an unrestricted country list.
- Each runs 1,415 seconds, and the watch page reports nine authored subtitle tracks including English alongside an automatic Japanese caption track.
That is Japanese audio with a real authored English subtitle track. It is also 3 of 12, so the free run stops after the third episode.
