Big news just dropped 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, a teaser promo video, and a cool key visual.
But hey, hold onto your seats because there’s one crucial detail missing – the release date!
MAPPA isn’t keeping us in the dark, though. They’ve set up a website and shared updates on X, giving us deep into the characters and production deets. Plus, they’ve treated us to a trailer, giving us a peek behind the scenes.
So, what’s “Zenshu” all about? It follows Natsuko Hirose, an animator extraordinaire who dove headfirst into the industry after high school. Her directorial debut was a smash hit, but her next project hit a snag – it’s all about first love, something Natsuko knows zilch about.
The promo video shows Natsuko’s determination to start from scratch, even if it means doing it all herself. “Zenshu,” meaning “to retake” or “fix everything,” perfectly sums up Natsuko’s journey of self-discovery.
The key visual is pretty slick too, showing Natsuko hard at work with a desert backdrop. It’s a powerful symbol of her solo quest for perfection.
Let’s talk cast – Anna Nagase leads as Natsuko Hirose, supported by Kazuki Ura, Rie Kugimiya, Minori Suzuki, and Akio Suyama, bringing their characters from “Perishing Story” to life.
Behind the scenes, we’ve got Mitsue Yamasaki, MAPPA, and Kimiko Ueno at the helm, with Yukari Hashimoto handling the 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 with Bushiroad’s booth at AnimeJapan2024 hosting an exhibition for “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’s gonna be epic!
