An anime adaptation based on the Grancrest Senki light novel was announced during the Fantasia Bunko Big Thanksgiving 2016 event, which was held on Saturday. The announcement was also discussed with a representative from Aniplex.

Synopsis
On a continent ruled by chaos, the Lords have the power of a holy seal that can calm the chaos and protect the people. However, before anyone realizes it, the rulers cast aside their creed of purifying the chaos, and instead start to fight each other for each other's holy seals to gain dominion over one another. Shiruuka, an isolated mage who scorns the Lords for abandoning their creed, and a wandering knight named Theo, who is on a journey to train to one day liberate his hometown, make an everlasting oath to work together to reform this continent dominated by wars and chaos.

Grancrest Senki is written by Ryou Mizuno and illustrated by Miyuu. It began publishing under the Fujimi Fantasia Bunko label in August 2013 and currently has seven volumes in print, with the eighth volume to be released on November 19. A manga adaptation by Makoto Yotsuba began serialization in Young Animal magazine in June 2016.

I don't see any ecchi tags which means I'm still listening to you, source material. Now keep talking and tell me about the studio that will be adapting you...

I'm a big fan of Lodoss War so I'm really interested about this

Sounds like a good fantasy ride. I'll be happy as long as it is not another A-1 Pictures work.

Hmm... I'd not be surprised, if is again White Fox or Silver Link the task take over would...

Yes it is just click on the writers name and find it out on published manga/novels

I'm always up for a fantasy genre anime ...

Oct 23, 2016 4:22 AM by Shishou_23

Please be not A-1, that's all I'm asking

Oct 23, 2016 2:34 AM by Mizunashi

Place your bets on this being adapted by A1. If that's the case, I couldn't care less about this.

Sounds pretty good. Count me in.

Fantasy anime with war, I'm interested.

More fantasy adventure anime is good in my book. Lodoss author is just a bonus.

this one looks like Record of Lodoss War junkies.

Anime no thanks, if there's a video game then i'll play it.

Oct 22, 2016 7:52 PM by Gridley

Well, why not. I wait for the staff and the key visual.

Oct 22, 2016 5:08 PM by Kaaliyah

Sounds interesting.

News is missing info, that this is new novel series from Record of Lodos War author.

Oct 22, 2016 4:42 PM by Sacredus

Sounds like a bunch of other Light Novels, but it could be good so ill definitely give it a watch!

Uhm... I came to read the comments hoping to find someone familiar with this novel series to ask him about it. Zut.

Great! I thought about this possibility when the manga was announced, it can't be a bad thing that another work of Mizuno gets animated ! (it makes the wait for a new western translation of the Lodoss novels less unbearable).

PS: it's sad to see that the author's name alone isn't enough to ignite stronger reactions.

Sounds like pretty typical fantasy stuffs
