One-Punch Man Manga Illustrator Yusuke Murata Releases First Part of Original Anime Zaiyuki

Zaiyuki

 

Less than two weeks ago we got our first look at Yusuke Murata’s first-ever original anime project Zaiyuki with his in-house anime studio Village Studio but today in a surprise drop, Murata released the “A Part” of the anime over two Tweets–the video was too long for just one, non-Twitter Blue, Tweet.

 

First part:

 

 

 

Second part:

 

 

 

Murata stated that since the A part was completed, he decided to put subtitles on the video and release it unto the world, giving us his take on a modern Journey to the West tale. The manga creator turned animator noted that he realized that one of the cuts was out of order in the part, hinting that a complete version of Zaiyuki will be released in the future.

With the short length of the A Part, it’s likely that Zaiyuki won’t be a feature-length anime and will probably be a short OVA, though the level of detail is immense, as expected from Murata.
