Big news just broke on Friday, March 22, 2024 – MAPPA just announced their latest original TV anime, “Zenshu”. They're pulling out all the stops, sharing the main cast, staff, teaser videos, and exciting key visuals.
But hey, hold on to your seats because there's one important detail missing – the release date!
However, MAPPA does not leave us in the dark. They set up a website and shared updates about X, giving us details about the characters and the production process. Additionally, they gave us a trailer for the film, giving us a behind-the-scenes look.
So what is “Zenshu”? The film tells the story of Naruto Hirose, an excellent animator who ventures into this field after graduating from high school. Her directorial debut was a huge success, but her next project hit a wall – it was all about first love, something Natsko knows all too well.
The promotional video shows Natsko's determination to start over, even if it means she has to do it all herself. “Zenshu,” which means “remake” or “fix things,” perfectly sums up Tsuko's journey of self-discovery.
The main image is also quite smooth, showing Natsuko's hard work in the desert setting. It is a powerful symbol of her solo quest for perfection.
Let's chat with the cast – Anna Nagase plays Naruto Hirose, supported by Kazuki Ura, Rie Kugimiya, Minori Suzuki and Akio Suyama, bringing their characters from “Perishing Story” to life.
Backstage, we have Mitsue Yamasaki, MAPPA and Kimiko Ueno directing, Yukari Hashimoto in charge of music. And let's not forget the animation team led by Sumie Noro, Yoshiteru Tsujino, Kayoko Ishikawa, Shuuji Takahara, Etsuko Sumimoto and Kazuko Hayakawa.
Excitement is at an all-time high, especially since Bushiroad's booth at AnimeJapan2024 hosts an exhibition about “Zenshu.” More deets are on the way, so stay tuned!
So get ready for the ride of a lifetime with “Zenshu”, where passion meets the pursuit of perfection. It will be epic!
