Television broadcasting is scheduled for January 2026.

The first work of the anime “AniMatica” that takes advantage of the charm of comics

“Fist of the North Star: Fist of the Fist of the Fist of the King’s Zako” is Doraku Co., Ltd. (Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Miura, where Frontier Works develops a motion comic production business) This is the first work of the newly launched animation production label “AniMatica”.
Motion comics, which add movement to comics, are gaining popularity because of the immersive feeling that is different from reading comics by professional voice actors, but “A “NIMATICA” has made it possible to create the breathing and pauses of the characters that could not be realized in previous motion comics.

The charm of the lovable Zako and the main character, Nobu, who is still today

For fans who have come into contact with the comics and anime of “Fist of the North Star” in real time, Zako, who are easily defeated, are villains, but somehow you can’t hate them.
At the end of the century, when the main character, Nobu, is an ordinary villager, who can’t even eat satisfactorily, he ends up working in the Kenoh army, which is a row of rough people led by Raoh. That’s because I believed the job offer, “It’s a simple task that anyone can do with three meals in live-in.”
With such a misunderstood job that seems to exist in today’s world, Nobu, surrounded by terrifying seniors, looks weak but manages to live a way of life.
