If you
thought that historical anime could no longer surprise you and you missed the
visual rawness of the creator of Parasyte, we have news that will
make your day. After more than two decades of continuous publication and
thousands of fans begging for an adaptation, the production committee finally
confirmed that the Historie manga will make the leap to the
small screen. And it's not just a rumor: we already have the first promotional
trailer and the official date, marking this epic debut for the winter season
in January 2027.
To bring to
life a work with so much historical weight and cultural detail, the animation
was left in the experienced hands of the LIDEN FILMS studio.
Considering that the original manga written and illustrated by Hitoshi
Iwaaki has already exceeded 4.7 million copies in circulation, the
pressure to deliver a product of the highest quality is brutal. Thankfully, the
first video trailer and new promotional image let us see that the atmosphere of
antiquity, period clothes and dense political drama are being adapted with an
impressive level of respect.
A strong
voice for the king's secretary
Although
the announcement mentioned that they already have a large part of the voice
cast prepared for the premiere, for now they only let us meet the main talent
who will carry the intellectual weight of the story on their shoulders:
- Nobunaga Shimazaki as Eumenes Recognized
in otaku culture for voicing Yuno in Black Clover and
Seishiro Nagi in Blue Lock, lending his talent to play this
brilliant and loyal historical strategist.
Having such
a clear release window already gives the studio enough time to polish every
visual detail of the clashes and intrigue. The community that has followed the
play since 2003 will finally be able to see if this adaptation does justice to
one of the most beloved historical fictions in the industry.
Synopsis
of Historie
The story
transports us to the turbulent world of the fourth century B.C., following the
fascinating life of Eumenes, a real historical figure who came to serve as the
personal secretary and right-hand man of Alexander the Great himself. It all
begins in his youth, when Eumenes was studying under the tutelage of the great
philosopher Aristotle. Through his eyes, the series explores his raw journey of
survival, his rise to power, and his deep involvement in the dark intrigues of
ancient Macedonia. It is a tale that seamlessly blends real historical research
with intense drama filled with ambition, wars, and complex relationships
between the most powerful figures of antiquity.
