Synopsis

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. One day, she passes out while working on her storyboard and wakes up in the world of her favorite childhood anime movie "A Tale of Perishing."

An absolute love letter to the cheesiest corniest most beloved beautiful story telling tropes and beats in all of anime. One of the best anime original anime I've ever seen and one of the best anime I've seen in a good while. Solid 9/10. It would have been a 10/10 Masterpiece it played the story too safe. It was predictable a lot of the time and very by the book. You could follow the three arc structure it had going episode by episode which while could be intentional seeing how the show was based on a movie within the story. If that was the case ...

Anime is often boring, though occasionally entertaining. Despite MAPPA's efforts to add artistic value to its works, the writing team repeatedly fails to deliver a cohesive story or an experience worthy of being remembered by future generations—or even something I'd recommend to my friends. Despite a massive budget and talented animators, the story remains weak, lacking logical consistency and relying on laughably dumb solutions to its conflicts.

That said, I can’t deny that the final episode was highly enjoyable. However, I would have preferred if we had gotten the director’s original vision, where character development felt more natural and the world-building and kingdoms were ...

Oh boy what a mess. Zenshuu is a textbook example of the importance of a thesis. When your show doesn’t understand what it wants to achieve than the entire runtime is naturally going to lack direction and the viewer is left to suffer. So what does Zenshuu set out to achieve exactly? Technically it presents the key idea, your first love, right from the jump but instead of pursuing this idea it spends the remainder of it’s runtime dedicated to filler and references. Desperate attempts are made to mask this with colorful poppy animation but it’s ultimately fruitless as the overwhelming bulk of Zenshuu’s content ...
