If you thought historical animes couldn’t surprise you anymore and missed the gritty visuals from the creator of Parasyte, we have news that will brighten your day. After over two decades of continuous publication and thousands of fans pleading for an adaptation, the production committee has finally confirmed that the manga Historie will make its 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 such historical weight and cultural detail, the animation has been entrusted to the experienced studio LIDEN FILMS. Given that the original manga, written and illustrated by Hitoshi Iwaaki, has already surpassed 4.7 million copies in circulation, the pressure to deliver a high-quality product is immense. Fortunately, the first video preview and the new promotional image show that the atmosphere of antiquity, period costumes, and dense political drama are being adapted with impressive respect.

A prominent voice for the king’s secretary

Although the announcement mentioned that most of the voice cast is already prepared for the debut, for now, we only know the main talent carrying the intellectual weight of the story:

• Nobunaga Shimazaki as Eumenes. Known in otaku culture for voicing Yuno in Black Clover and Seishiro Nagi in Blue Lock, lending his talent to this brilliant and loyal historical strategist.

Having such a clear release window gives the studio ample time to polish every visual detail of the confrontations and intrigue. The community that has followed the work since 2003 will finally see if this adaptation does justice to one of the most beloved historical fiction works in the industry.

Historie Synopsis

The story transports us to the turbulent world of the 4th century BC, following the fascinating life of Eumenes, a real historical figure who served as the personal secretary and right-hand man of Alexander the Great. It begins in his youth, when Eumenes studied under the great philosopher Aristotle. Through his eyes, the series explores his harsh journey of survival, his rise to power, and his deep involvement in the dark intrigues of ancient Macedonia. It’s a narrative that perfectly blends real historical research with intense drama filled with ambition, wars, and complex relationships among the most powerful figures of antiquity.
