 Production company Twin Engine opened an official website for a television anime adaptation of Ikka Matsuki's Nippon Sangoku manga on Tuesday, revealing the main cast, staff, first promotional video, and a teaser visual (pictured above). The anime series will premiere in April 2026.  CastAoteru Misumi: Kensho Ono (Owari no Seraph) Saki Higashimachi: Asami Seto (Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai) Denki Taira: Takashi Nagasako (Hoozuki no Reitetsu) Narrator: Megumi Han ([Oshi no Ko]) Staff Director: Kazuaki Terasawa (Mahoutsukai no Yome Season 2) Character Design, Chief Animation Director: Takahiko Abiru (Vinland Saga) Studio: Studio Kafka Matsuki began serializing the post-apocalyptic drama manga on the MangaONE app and website in November 2021. Shogakukan published the sixth volume in November 2024. The manga has a cumulative 700,000 copies of its volumes in circulation. Nippon Sangoku was nominated for the 16th Manga Taisho awards in 2023. Synopsis In the near future, Japan has completely collapsed due to a mix of nuclear warfare, natural disasters, and widespread corruption that sparked a revolution. The country is now split into three warring superpowers. This new era of the Three Kingdoms Period sees diplomacy vanish, replaced by a harsh, relentless fight for power. Each territory is using its military strength and resources against the others in a desperate attempt for total control over the remnants of Japanese land. Aoteru Misumi is a low-ranking official who has stayed in the background for most of his life. He does not come from a prestigious military background or aristocracy, but Misumi has a strong ambition: to end the pointless bloodshed that afflicts the nation. He seeks to unify the fractured country, armed only with sharp insight and a persuasive voice that can rally the people. The legend of the man who will become a brilliant military strategist starts now. PV 1 Official site: https://www.nipponsangoku.com/ Offcial X: @sangoku_PR Source: PR Times Nippon Sangoku on MAL |

| I like the style, probably gonna watch it. |
| Looks soo good. Definitely a must watch. |
| Synopsis sounds interesting but unfortunately I don't like this;art style, char design, so I'll pass on watching. |
| I'm surprised it's getting an anime adaptation. And then I watched the PV and couldn't help but laugh. |

| @EcchiGodMamster That’s a false comparison. Animation adds atmosphere, emotion, and visual storytelling, not random sexualization. My point isn’t that visuals are useless, it’s that fan service shouldn’t be a crutch when it doesn’t serve the scene or story. |

| @ZXEAN i'd hate to break it to you, but theres this thing called ART... idk if you've ever heard of it but its about self expression, not what some random guy on the internet thinks is important or not anime is not just a story, its also art and art has ALWAYS been sexual or had sexual themes/content but ofc, people like you only believe in arbitrary "rules" even when it comes to the creative field, well fuck that, let people cook how they choose, were in the arguable "slop era" in large part because people won't just allow people to cook |

| @EcchiGodMamster You’re oversimplifying art. Anime isn’t a single genre or intent, it’s created for many different demographics and age groups. Sexual expression is just one artistic choice. If you’re looking for ecchi, there are plenty of anime specifically made for that. |

| @EcchiGodMamster You’re still missing what I’m saying. Yeah, art is self-expression, but that doesn’t mean context, tone, or audience suddenly stop mattering. Demographics aren’t just about laws, they exist because different stories are made with different intentions. Whether Japan officially uses the word “ecchi” or not is just semantics. We use labels to describe patterns in content, not to limit artists. Sexualization is a choice, not some default state of art. You’re free to want fan service in everything, that’s your preference. But preference doesn’t make it automatically fit every story, and it doesn’t make it immune to criticism when it clashes with the tone or breaks immersion. Wanting something doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. |

| @EcchiGodMamster You’re reading way too much into “stands on its own.” I never said visuals don’t matter or that animation is pointless. I said a strong story doesn’t need fan service to hook people. Those aren’t the same thing. Visual expression ≠ mandatory sexualization. What you’re really arguing is that artists should always push sexual content because they can. That’s not artistic freedom, that’s just projecting your own preference onto every creator. Not every mangaka is thinking about fan service 24/7, and not every story is trying to “push boundaries” in that way. Risk-taking doesn’t only mean sex. Some take risks with themes, structure, pacing, or restraint. Acting like anime’s identity depends on horny bait is honestly reductive. If you want fan service everywhere, that’s fine. But stop pretending that’s some universal artistic truth or that stories are weaker without it. |

EcchiGodMamster said: You’re missing the distinction I’m making. I’m not saying bad stories need fan service, or that good stories can’t have it. I’m saying fan service isn’t a substitute for good writing, nor is it automatically justified just because something is animated.does a "bad story" "need" fanservice to get people to watch it? whats your point? why does it matter if the story is good or bad? arent theres tons of of media w no sexual content with shitty stories and people still watch them? Yes, people watch plenty of bad media with or without sexual content, that’s not the point. The point is whether fan service adds anything meaningful or just exists to compensate for weak storytelling or cheap engagement. If a creator includes sexual content because it fits their vision, tone, or audience, fine. If it’s thrown in regardless of context, people are also allowed to criticize it. That’s not policing art, that’s engaging with it. So no, this isn’t about “good vs bad stories.” It’s about whether a choice serves the work, or just exists because someone insists it should. |
ZXEAN said: I’m saying fan service isn’t a substitute for good writing when the fuck did i say it was? ZXEAN said: nor is it automatically justified just because something is animated. if the creators want it, then its justified... the ONLY justification a creator needs to add ANYTHING to their work is that its part of their vision and they wanted to do it ZXEAN said: Yes, people watch plenty of bad media with or without sexual content, that’s not the point. The point is whether fan service adds anything meaningful or just exists to compensate for weak storytelling or cheap engagement. fanservice BY DEFINITION is nothing more than something that is there to be pleasing, its not supposed to "add to the story" "exists to compensate for weak storytelling or cheap engagement." how is this an argument against sexual fanservice? one could and people do argue that flashy colors and amazing animation do this as well (which can also technically be fanservice) ZXEAN said: If it’s thrown in regardless of context again, this is literally the point if you don't like things that are thrown or done regardless of context well then you obviously don't like "fanservice" fanservice = for the sake of doing it/because i can/want to/ and or because the fans will like it ZXEAN said: So no, this isn’t about “good vs bad stories.” It’s about whether a choice serves the work, or just exists because someone insists it should. welcome to freedom of expresion, art and anime, enjoy your stay |

| @EcchiGodMamster You’re stuck on calling it a “double standard” without actually engaging with why those choices are made. Repeating “violence stays, sexual content goes” over and over doesn’t magically make context irrelevant. Violence and sexualization serve very different functions in media, even for adult audiences. One is often tied to plot, stakes, and conflict; the other is frequently ornamental. That’s why studios, broadcasters, and creators treat them differently. You don’t have to like that, but pretending it’s arbitrary is lazy. And yes, you brought up tone, intent, audience, and framing, congrats, that’s literally what people mean when they talk about story and context. Acting annoyed because the conversation went exactly where your own points lead doesn’t strengthen your argument. You keep saying “double standards exist” like it’s some mic drop. No one denied that. The disagreement is about whether those standards are automatically wrong or meaningless, which you haven’t actually argued, you’ve just complained about. At this point you’re not making new points, you’re just looping. If all you’re saying is “I want sexual content everywhere and I don’t care why it’s cut,” then just say that and be done with it. |

YOU said fanservice ZXEAN said: And yes, you brought up tone, intent, audience, and framing when????

sexualization can also be tied to plot, stakes and conflict, yet it'll still get nerfed more so than violence... hows that not a double standard?
also i said "boobs"... boobs =/= fanservice... i didn't even originally say "fanservice"... i said boobs... YOU said fanservice

The disagreement is about whether those standards are automatically wrong or meaningless, which you haven’t actually argued, you’ve just complained about.

if you haven't figured that out by now then idk why you wasted your time
every single one of us is arguing for our own personal preferences, are we not?
whotf doesn't prefer their own personal preferences to be prioritized in the entertainment they watch?
do your own personal preferences not make you enjoy something more?
saying "a good story carries itself, therefore it doesn't need X" implies that a good story automatically makes people like something more than something without one
at the end of the day NOTHING MATTERS MORE THAN WHAT?
PERSONAL ENJOYMENT

I NEVER argued it had to be "everywhere" I said "lemme guess, violence but no boobs" again, meaning that REGARDLESS OF CONTEXT, sexual content tends to get nerfed more so than violence, which IS a double standard I just don't' believe in restricting where it can be (yes ofc that is partially do w how much i personally like it) but because i want people to be able to cook however they choose AND my defense of freedom of expression is also freedom to NOT put fanservice in your work, so yes, i also believe that adding fanservice to a work where an author didn't want it is just as unfair |
