KONAMI's legendary role-playing game heritage makes a grand return to television screens with the anime adaptation of Genso Suikoden. Following its premiere on October 3, 2026, across 32 networks nationwide including TOKYO MX and Kansai TV, fans have eagerly tracked the definitive streaming home for the sprawling epic of fate, war, and the 108 Stars of Destiny.
Produced by KONAMI animation with direction by Yuzo Sato and series composition by Rika Tsuchiya, the series captures the heart-wrenching trajectory of childhood friends Riuyou and Joey as they become caught in the devastating crossfire between the Highland Kingdom and the City-State Republic. The haunting opening theme 'Kanashimi sae Otonabite' by amazarashi and closing theme 'closed eye sun (feat. Honoka Takahashi)' by Koji Nakamura anchor an audiovisual experience that honors the classic 1998 source material.
