They fear that MAPPA will also cancel Zombieland Saga

The recent news about the cancellation of the long-awaited "Yuri!! movie on ICE" has shocked fans of this successful franchise. MAPPA Studios, responsible for the production, announced the decision, which not only left fans disappointed, but has also raised concerns among those who closely follow other series under the same label.
Uncertainty now hangs over another beloved franchise, the "Zombieland Saga." This peculiar story of "zombie idols" had announced its foray into the world of cinema at the end of 2021, arousing great expectations among fans. However, since then, there has been no news on the progress of production.

MAPPA, the studio behind "Zombieland Saga," has also not offered updates on the film's status. In addition, the departure of Munehisa Sakai, director of the previous two seasons of the series, from MAPPA studios at the end of 2022, has increased concerns among fans. Sakai joined Studio KAI, leaving a significant void in the direction of the franchise.
"Zombieland Saga," since its debut, has captivated a wide audience with its unique blend of music, comedy, and horror elements. The story follows a group of idol girls who are revived as zombies and must face the challenges of show business while battling their undead nature. The series has won praise for its originality, sense of humor, and memorable characters, becoming a phenomenon within otaku culture.
However, with the uncertainty surrounding the film and the absence of its main director, fans of "Zombieland Saga" fear that their beloved franchise could suffer the same fate as "Yuri!! on ICE." Hope for encouraging news is fading, leaving fans with the worry of an uncertain future for one of contemporary anime's most beloved series.
