The latest episode of ZENSHU, MAPPA’s original series about an animator transported to the world of her favorite anime, introduces a new character to its once-doomed fantasy land. Can Natsuko and her special powers change this heroine’s destiny?Manaka Iwami (Akane Kurokawa in Oshi no Ko) will voice Destiny Heartwarming, who appears in the latest episode. Destiny is a brave and kindhearted girl who falls in love with Luke Braveheart. In the original story of A Tale of Perishing, Destiny is killed by the Void. What her fate will be with Natsuko now in the battle remains to be seen.
Mitsue Yamazaki (Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle) directs ZENSHU at studio MAPPA, with scripts by Kimiko Ueno (Delicious in Dungeon), Yoshiteru Tsujino’s original character designs adapted for animation by Kayoko Ishikawa (Sarazanmai) and music by Yukari Hashimoto (A Sign of Affection).Crunchyroll describes the story:
After graduating from high school, Natsuko Hirose starts her career as an animator. Her talent quickly flourishes, and she makes her debut as a director in no time. Her first anime becomes a massive hit, sparking a social phenomenon and earning her recognition as an up-and-coming genius director. Her next project is set to be a romantic comedy movie themed around first love! However, having never been in love herself, Natsuko struggles to understand the concept of first love, and as a result, she’s unable to create the storyboard, causing the movie production to come to a standstill.
