Zunda Horizon

About Zunda Horizon

Zunda Horizon (ずんだホライずん) arrives as a comedy anime by WAO World and Studio Live (2017), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: Zunko Tohoku can make any mochi into delicious zunda mochi by shooting it with her Zunda Arrow. Along with Kiritan Tohoku, Itako Tohoku, Usagi Chuugoku, Metan Shikoku, and Sora Kyushu, she enjoys eating zunda mochi while being full of happiness.

Another thread: Chanko Ooedo conversely leads the Natto Factory along with her companions Tsurugi Chubu, Shinobi Kansai, Awamo Okinawa, and Meron Hokkaido. Even though zunda and natto use the same type of bean, the edamame used in zunda and the soy beans used in natto are harvested at different times, with edamame being harvested first. As a result, the members of the Natto Factory are afraid of a decrease in the quantity of soybeans harvested.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Zunko Touhoku (Satomi Satou) and Shinobi Kansai (Ayaka Imamura) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 1 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Voice casting, including Satomi Satou as Zunko Touhoku, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2017, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
