The artist behind the manga adaptation of “One Punch Man“, Yusuke Murata so his immersion in the world of animation is a both good and bad news for fans.“. Murata is known for his detailed and eye-catching art, as well as his innovative use of new technologies and his presence on social networks, Zaiyuki, has announced the opening of his own animation studio in Japan and has revealed five new promotional videos for his first project, an original short film titled “

 


Murata had already announced that he was working on an original anime since March 2023, and decided to kick it off on the first day of 2024, revealing his plans for the project and showing the promotional videos for his next anime . The new videos demonstrate one of the points most applauded by the community on social networks, the dynamic and exciting combat sequences that are reminiscent of his work in “One Punch Man” and that will clearly also be a important feature in “Zaiyuki”. After revealing these videos on Twitter, on January 1, Murata finally announced the creation of the studio.

It should be noted that “Village Studio” had already been previously mentioned by Murata, but he referred to it as “a working group.” The fact that the name has changed “Animation studio” implies that the necessary paperwork has been completed with the corresponding authorities so that they can operate as a studio. On the other hand, although there is not much information about the project, there have been several advances about “Zaiyuki”. The plot has also been revealed, which revolves around about a kappa boy named Goyjo, who finds himself involved in problems that turn his world upside down.

  • The first project from Yusuke Murata's Village Studio will be an original anime titled “Zaiyuki.” It's about Goyjo, a kappa boy who fails in activities that his brothers are good at, such as swimming and sumo (according to Japanese folklore), and becomes an outcast. a> a> Unfortunately, he mixes with two other fugitives and is pursued as an accomplice of criminals.While waiting in line at the airport, an old man gives him an egg, which later hatches into a monkey skilled in martial arts, similar to the same Sun Wukong who inspired “Dragon Ball.” He finally has the chance to leave his hometown when he wins the lottery, books a ticket and goes abroad.


Yusuke Murata has already ventured into animation in the past, for example making a dynamic short of “One Punch Man” or a clip of “Eyeshield 21” to celebrate its anniversary. In the pages of “One Punch Man,” Murata has constantly experimented with the potential of digital manga, producing pages that pushed the art of manga into the future. In recent months, the artist has been even more active. In addition to working on his new anime, he has announced that “Eyeshield 21” will receive a new chapter with 51 pages, and has participated in the monthly drawing of the covers of the “Dragon Ball” volumes by different mangakas, all while publishing new chapters of “One Punch Man”.

This intense work schedule could explain why the last chapters of “One Punch Man” have been much shorter than ever, going from 35 to 50 pages to an average of 15 pages in the last three chapters. In fact, although the news of a new animation studio directed by Murata is great, it casts doubt on whether he can continue working on the “One Punch Man” manga at the same pace of work as before. Making an anime and running a production studio is very onerous and time-consuming, even more so in the founding phases. What does this new adventure hold for the artist's career?
