What is ZENSHU About?
In essence, ZENSHU is an anime about the art of anime. The narrative follows Natsuko Hirose as she embarks on her journey as an animator right after high school graduation. Her relentless dedication enables her to rapidly advance her skills, leading her to debut as an anime director, with her project achieving outstanding success.
While Natsuko’s initial endeavors have proceeded smoothly, she now faces a challenge: her upcoming anime is a romantic comedy centered around first love—a theme she has yet to experience. Struggling to grasp this concept, she decides to shoulder all the responsibilities, which hampers her ability to create the necessary storyboard due to her lack of firsthand experience in romance, delaying the production of her film.
