The official main PV for the TV anime adaptation of 'Koko wa Ore ni Makasete Saki ni Ike to Itte kara 10-nen ga tattara Densetsu ni Natteita.' (abbreviated as 'Koko Ore') has been released. The video shows protagonist Rock and his companions in action-packed scenes, including a defiantly smiling Rock, the sparkling eyes of Shia, and the sharp gaze of Cerlis.
The series starts on July 6, 2026, on TOKYO MX as well as on other channels such as KBS Kyoto, Sun TV, TV Aichi, BS11, and AT-X. Three days before the terrestrial broadcast, Prime Video subscribers can stream the episodes starting July 3, every Friday at 10:30 PM in Japan. Concurrent with the broadcast, the series will also be available on ABEMA and dAnime Store, with more providers to follow.
With the release of the PV, the theme songs have also been announced. The opening 'Soredemo Donten wo Koeteyuku' is by the band sajou no hana, one of the most well-known anime performers. The musician commented: 'It is a great joy to sing the opening for this epic adventure story. We designed the song to be powerful enough to match the strong title of 'Koko Ore'.' The song will be released digitally on July 7.
The ending, titled 'Arikitarina Nichijou to Kouun na Hibi e', is contributed by the group Meisho Hikokai (literally 'name not published'). The five-member formation, which has a total of over 1.2 million followers on social media, made its debut in 2025 with a sold-out concert at Hulic Hall Tokyo. The song was produced by ANCHOR, a producer who has created many anime themes. The group itself expressed great delight over their first anime collaboration.
The source material for 'Koko Ore' comes from author Ezogingitsune and was published on the platform Shousetsuka ni Narou starting in 2018. SB Creative publishes the light novel, of which seven volumes have been released so far. The manga adaptation by Abeno Chako (with name construction by Tennoji Kitsune) already comprises 19 volumes. The total circulation of the series exceeds 4.45 million copies.
The animation production is handled by Studio Gekkou. The director is Hiroaki Kobe, with series composition by Koki Ueda. Character design was done by Majiro, and music was composed by Tomohiro Ohsumi. The main role of Rock (real name Luck Loc Franzen) is voiced by Gakuto Kajiwara. Other voice actors include Yui Ishikawa as Cerlis, Mayu Sagara as Shia, M・A・O as Rutchira, Yurie Kosakai as Milka, Tomokazu Sugita as Eric, Tsuyoshi Koyama as Goran, Wakana Maruoka as Arone, Yuki Terui as Ario, and Akari Miyazaki as Ginny.
To celebrate the theme songs, the official X account of the series is holding a giveaway: Two fans each can win autographed shikishi boards from sajou no hana and Meisho Hikokai respectively. The deadline for entry is June 23, 2026.
