After Attack on Titan, MAPPA unveils its next epic anime

A little earlier today, we told you about of Lazarus, the next original anime from studio MAPPA scheduled for 2025. But there is another title from the famous Japanese animation studio that is also due out next year, and fans have just been able to get a new glimpse of this original project.

 

The next gem from MAPPA?

Among the most internationally recognized animation studios, we find Toei Animation, to whom we owe some monuments of Japanese animation like Dragon Ball and One Piece. But there is also Pierrot, known among others for Naruto and Bleach, without forgetting of course Studio Ghibli, co-founded by the famous Hayao Miyazaki.

And since the rise in popularity of anime in recent years, other studios have also made a name for themselves with the general public. This is particularly the case for MAPPA. Founded in 2011 by a former employee of the Madhouse studio, MAPPA has carved out a solid reputation for itself thanks to numerous projects that have left their mark on fans. We can then cite Yuri on Ice, but also Gambling School or even Dorohedoro.

However, it was in 2020 that the studio's fame would reach new heights, thanks to Jujutsu Kaisen and the Final Season of Attack on Titan. Subsequently, MAPPA continued its momentum with other very popular titles, such as Chainsaw Man, season 2 of Vinland Saga, Hell's Paradise, and more.

And if the Japanese studio is renowned for the quality of its animated adaptations,it also regularly offers original anime. Recently, fans were able to discover the animated film maboroshi or the anime Bucchigiri. And before the release of Lazarus, they will also be able to discover another project of this type:  ZENSHU.

Announced last March, ZENSHU is therefore the next original production of MAPPA. Here is the synopsis shared by Crunchyroll:

Natsuko Hirose began her career as an animator after graduating from high school. Making her debut as a director, her talent quickly blossomed. Her first anime was a huge success, sparking a social phenomenon and earning her the recognition she deserved as a genius director in the making. Her next project is a romantic comedy about first love, but having never been in love, Natsuko struggles to understand the concept of first love and is unable to create the story, which stops production on the film.

And At New York Comic Con, fans were treated to a world premiere of a new trailer for ZENSHU, giving us a sneak peek at the new anime, which is scheduled for release in January 2025.
