A really disappointing flipping of the script Zenshu

Seriously had high hopes for Zenshu, as it looked interesting. In fact, the concept is interesting, rewriting or flipping the script of your favourite show. Even changing the fate of characters that befalls them in the show. Sadly, there are issues as zenshu progressed. I had bit of a hard time really staying fully invested in post 3 episodes.

Studio: Mappa
Season: Winter 2025
Episode: 12

Positives:

Interesting start

Animation is top notch

Band maid does the OP, can’t go wrong with that

Nice little hark to well-known animators in the industry with their iconic drawings like gundam etc

Natsuko being shoved in to doing her drawing desk, there is a small bg music being played, repeating the name of the show, zenshu, I found that quite amusing

Natsuko being thought of as a gremlin at the start is actually quite amusing

Negatives:

Progressively gets bad after it continues on

Bare bones character development for the gang, understandably their fate was predestined, even with the interventions, they barely had any development

The romance between Luke and Natsuko is drier than a well in a desert

Unio can get annoying at times

Memmnel small story arc is interesting, sadly didn’t really go any further than what the movie said would happen

Pacing was meh

The director / bird reincarnated in her own film isn’t explained why she wants the movie to remain the way it is written

The story of overcoming or changing fate / destiny should be a positive, instead it made the whole process uninteresting, even felt dragged out

You can see partially how it would end; I suspected the ending would have Natsuko come back to reality or bring the perishing gang to her reality

Natusko change was predicable from the start: from being unapproachable, loner, to one who would accept help from people and be more happy / approachable

Grade:

E+

2 Winter Seasonal 2025 Disappointments

Yup the winter seasonal shows are coming to an end. As usual, I become frumpy and grumpy as to which two shows disappointed me for the winter season of 2025.

So, what are the two shows that disappointed me this time around.

Zenshu

Studio: Mappa

Episodes: 12

Despite me enjoying the series, I can’t help but feel underwhelmed by it. I did a first impression, whilst it showed promise, at first. As it went on, the characters aren’t gelling. The potential love chemistry between Natsuko and Luke is very dry, overall characters development in general is very lacklustre. Animation is top notch.

Unnamed Memory S2

Studio: Engi

Episodes: 12

I’ll keep this short. Which will be unusual for me. I’m very disappointed in unnamed memory S2. Engi didn’t improve, I’ve become uninterested in the series, however, will continue out of stubbornness and just to get it over and done with. God damn it Engi!
