As an eager fan, I’m thrilled to share that MAPPA has officially announced the unveiling of a brand new trailer for their upcoming project, “Zenshu,” set to debut on October 18, 2024! This world-premiere sneak peek promises a glimpse into the characters, settings, and music that will undoubtedly captivate us all.

​​​​​What We Know So Far About Zenshu

MAPPA has unveiled the plot summary for Zenshu. The story revolves around Natsuko Hirose, a recent high school graduate, who embarks on an exciting journey to become an animator. Her natural talent soon shines through, propelling her up the ladder at a rapid pace. By the end of her journey, she’s not only appointed as a director but also achieves immense success with her very first anime project. Her name becomes synonymous with genius in the industry.

Nevertheless, Natsuko’s upcoming venture presents a significant hurdle. She must develop a romantic comedy film revolving around the theme of first love, but her lack of relevant personal experience complicates the process of crafting the storyboard, effectively halting production in its tracks.

The Staff And Cast Has Been Confirmed

The main staff working on Zenshu was disclosed a while ago. Mitsue Yamasaki (Noragami, ItaKiss, Attack on Titan The Final Season) is working as the director. Kimiko Ueno (Carole & Tuesday, Space Dandy, Delicious in Dungeon) is providing the scripts for the anime. Yukari Hashimoto (Komi Can’t Communicate, March comes in like a lion, Mr. Osomatsu) is in charge of music. The other staff members include:

  • Takahiro Ogawa (Animation Producer)
  • Mutsumi Takemiya (Editing)
  • Kenta Fujita (Composite Director)
  • Junko Suenaga (Color Design)
