MAPPA’s Latest Hit Series Tackles the Rewarding Struggle of Being a Storyteller
In addition to highlighting the skills of the MAPPA animators and crew, the series ZENSHU openly displays its emotional depth right from the start, and in its initial episode, it becomes evident that it’s not merely a labor of love – it’s a production that aspires to portray the intricate dynamics between creators and their work, and with the sources that motivated them. The show cleverly uses aspects from the popular isekai genre to its benefit to delve into these topics, focusing on an animator who has lost their creative drive after their initial significant commercial success.
