Romelia War Chronicle starts streaming in Japan on October 3, 2026, at 9:00 p.m. JST, then begins its Japanese television run on October 5. The official anime site announced both dates on September 12 alongside a second trailer and the two theme songs.

When does Romelia War Chronicle premiere?
The first scheduled public availability is October 3 at 9:00 p.m. JST through three streaming services in Japan. The terrestrial television rollout begins two days later on October 5.
That distinction matters because the official announcement uses separate dates for domestic advance streaming and broadcast. October 3 is the earliest confirmed release, while October 5 is the headline Japanese TV premiere date.
The schedule is specific to Japan. The new notice does not supply a dated international streaming rollout, a global launch hour or territory-by-territory availability.
Where will it stream in Japan?
Anime Times, U-NEXT and Netflix are the three named domestic services. The official site describes their October 3 release as Japanese domestic streaming ahead of terrestrial TV.
The announcement does not say that every Netflix region receives the series on October 3. It also does not list subtitle languages, dub plans, download availability or whether every service posts episodes at the same time after the premiere.
Treat October 3 at 9:00 p.m. JST as the confirmed Japan start, not a universal worldwide time. Viewers outside Japan still need a dated regional listing before assuming simultaneous access.
What is the Japanese TV schedule?
- TOKYO MX, BS11 and Sun TV: Mondays at 11:30 p.m. beginning October 5.
- KBS Kyoto: Mondays at 24:00 beginning October 5, using the broadcaster’s late-night notation.
- CBC: Saturdays at 26:43 beginning October 10; the first episode is scheduled for 26:58.
Japanese late-night schedules often keep programs under the previous calendar date after midnight. The official page also warns that broadcast and streaming times may change, so station listings remain the final check near premiere day.
What is Romelia War Chronicle about?
The story begins after Romelia and Prince Henri defeat the Demon King Zelgis. Henri then annuls their engagement, but Romelia does not remain at court or build her next move around revenge.
She leaves to address the damage the war did not solve: a devastated homeland, civilians whose lives were taken by demons and a political order that cannot recover on its own. The official introduction says she raises an army, moves the economy and becomes entangled in conspiracies while trying to restore ordinary life.
It is a postwar rebuilding story with renewed conflict, not a victory-lap epilogue. The second trailer moves between soldiers, cheering civilians and fresh demon attacks to make that structure visible.
What does the second trailer show?
The 77-second video puts Romelia’s leadership at the center. It shows her addressing soldiers, moving through a castle, confronting political resistance and entering combat as the kingdom faces danger after the supposed end of the war.
Al and Ray appear as the young knights supporting her campaign. The footage also shows demon beasts attacking, city residents responding to reconstruction and a much larger supporting cast than the first teaser introduced.
Both announced theme songs play in the new promotional video. The trailer does not reveal an episode count, cour break, finale date or a complete international release plan.
Who is in the cast and production team?
Yuna Nemoto voices Romelia, with Jin Ogasawara as Al and Tomohiro Ono as Ray. The current cast page also lists Yuya Hirose as Henri, Sayaka Senbongi as Elisabeth, Maaya Ise as Ekaterina and Asaka as Ryoki.
Koji Saito is credited as series director, Takahiro Hirata as assistant director and Aya Satsuki for scripts and series composition. Yoshiko Saito and Yuta Otaka handle character design, KOHTA YAMAMOTO composes the score, and Atra produces the animation.
The anime adapts Ryo Ariyama’s light novels, with original character concepts by Kodama and Ryo Kamito. The official credits do not yet identify an English dub cast.
What are the opening and ending songs?
Chogakusei performs the opening theme, “Akatsuki ni Naru.” The official music page credits Yuki Tsujimura as lyricist and Tsujimura with MEG (MEGMETAL) for composition and arrangement.
KOHTA YAMAMOTO performs the ending, “Nightfall feat. Maika Loubté.” Yamamoto is also the anime’s credited composer.
The September 12 announcement confirms that both tracks appear in the second trailer. It does not yet provide full release dates, physical editions or every regional music-store link for the songs.
What is still unconfirmed?
The total episode count, cour arrangement and final broadcast date remain unconfirmed. “Two cours” establishes the planned length category, but not whether there is a break between them or exactly how many episodes will air.
The new official material also leaves the dated international streaming schedule, exact territories, subtitle and dub languages, home-video plans and any later schedule changes open. Those details should not be inferred from the Japanese domestic notice.
