Mazenchu is a television anime that begins airing October 7 within Kansai TV's morning program Yoidon!. The staff have announced the voice cast and confirmed that actress First Summer Uika provides the opening narration.
Mazenchu is a character brand created by Ebi under Torch, and it is being adapted into a television anime. The series is set in a school where foods live out their youth and form friendships, rivalries, and bittersweet romances. Torch announced the adaptation, and the show is directed by Yusuke Takase at Studio Nanahoshi.
The anime airs starting October 7 as the first original anime within Kansai TV's morning news and lifestyle program Yoidon!. That placement puts it in a morning slot rather than a dedicated late-night anime block. The cast includes Obara Rea as Sume, a sushi rice girl; Sakura Hayashi as Abo, an avocado girl; Uki Nashiki as Akami, a tuna boy; and Kokoro Kikuchi as Shinko, a pickled vegetable boy.
In the most recent update, the staff announced that actress First Summer Uika provides the opening narration and began streaming the opening video with her voice. That announcement came on a Wednesday, ahead of the October 7 start, and confirms both the show's voice and its broadcast placement.
