Exciting Announcement for a Historical Epic
Get ready to dive into ancient history! Production company Nikkatsu has just dropped the big news: Iwaaki Hitoshi‘s celebrated manga Historie is officially getting a television anime adaptation. The reveal came packed with a teaser promotional video and the stunning visual you see above, offering our first look at this highly anticipated project.
The Studio Behind the Animation
Taking the helm for the anime is none other than LIDENFILMS, the animation studio that brought us hits like Tokyo Revengers and Yofukashi no Uta (also known as Call of the Night). With their expertise in adapting compelling stories, expectations are high for a faithful and visually impressive take on this historical adventure.
A Legacy Manga from a Master Storyteller
Historie is the brainchild of Iwaaki Hitoshi, the acclaimed creator behind works like Kiseijuu (known to many as Parasyte). This gripping series first launched in Afternoon magazine way back in January 2003 and has been building a massive fanbase ever since. Published by Kodansha, the manga’s 12th volume hit shelves on June 21, and the entire series has achieved an impressive cumulative circulation of 4.7 million copies. That’s a testament to its powerful storytelling and enduring appeal.
Unraveling the Story of Eumenes
While everyone knows the name Alexander the Great, his trusted right-hand man, Eumenes, often remains in the shadows of history. This manga flips the script, putting Eumenes front and center. It’s a turbulent tale of ambition, intellect, and sheer willpower as he overcomes immense struggles and journeys across the ancient world, crossing paths with legendary figures. His rise to power wasn’t handed to him—he earned it through talent and determination. Historie promises a captivating blend of historical drama and personal adventure.
