The TV anime "Romelia Senki" will start in October 2026 on Japanese television. As the production announced, the series will be broadcast from October in two consecutive cours on the channels TOKYO MX, BS11, Sun TV, and KBS Kyoto. Along with the announcement, the first promotional trailer was released, in which the voices of the central characters can be heard for the first time.
The trailer begins with a cold-hearted statement from Prince Henri: "I am dissolving our engagement." With this scene, a preview begins that shows Romelia and her knights on a new path. In addition to the already known voice actors, four more cast members were confirmed: Shoya Chiba voices Gran, Gakuto Kajiwara takes on the role of Lagun, Shun Horie lends his voice to Kyle, and Ryunosuke Watanuki voices Otto. Comments from the four new performers are available on the official website.
The previous cast includes Yuna Nemoto as the protagonist Romelia von Graham, Jin Ogasawara as Al, and Tomohiro Ono as Ray. Additionally, Yuya Hirose (Henri), Sayaka Sembongi (Elisabeth), Mariya Ise (Ekaterina), and Asaka (Ryoki) are involved. Already at the AnimeJapan 2026 trade fair, two more performers, Hirose and Sembongi, were introduced and the two-cour format was announced.
Before the TV start, there is a first opportunity to experience the series on the big screen: On September 12, 2026, the first two episodes will be shown at the "kino cinéma Shinjuku" cinema in Tokyo. Following the screening starting at 12:30 PM, a talk session will take place with Yuna Nemoto, Jin Ogasawara, and Tomohiro Ono. Admission costs 3500 yen, and all seats are reserved. Online advance sales start on August 10 at 8 PM; remaining tickets will be available at the box office from August 11.
The story is based on the web novel "Romelia Senki: Maou wo Taoshita Ato mo Jinrui Yabasou dakara Guntai Soshiki shita" by Ryo Ariyama, which first appeared on the platform "Shosetsuka ni Naro" and was subsequently published by Shogakukan under the Gagaga Bunko label. After a long journey, Romelia and her fiancé Prince Henri have defeated the Demon King Zergis – but instead of gratitude, Romelia faces the bluntly spoken dissolution of their engagement. While Henri and the others hold victory celebrations, Romelia takes her own path: With a newly established army, economic skill, and political foresight, she wants to rebuild the war-torn country. The series is described as a "post-war" war chronicle that focuses on life after the great victory.
The source novel is in high demand in Japan; together with the manga adaptation by Kamito, published by Mag Garden, the series has reached a total circulation of more than 550,000 sold copies, according to the production. The animation is handled by Studio Atra. Direction is by Hiroshi Shirai, series composition and screenplay are by Aya Satsuki, character design is by Yoshiko Saito and Yuta Otaka. The music is composed by KOHTA YAMAMOTO, and music production is handled by Pony Canyon.
