What We Know So Far About Zenshu
MAPPA has already disclosed the synopsis of Zenshu. It will focus on the life of Natsuko Hirose, a high school graduate, and her journey of becoming an animator. Natsuko's talent quickly becomes evident, allowing her to climb the ranks quickly. She ends up becoming a director and even her first anime is a big success. She earns a great deal of fame and some even label her a genius.
However, Natsuko's next project proves to be a big challenge. She needs to create a romantic comedy movie that is centered around first love. The lack of personal experience prevents her from creating the storyboard. This causes production to come to a halt.
