After the Fourth Prince of the empire takes her captive, a flame of revenge is ignited.
The verdict
Season picksMust watchSummer 2026Naoko Yamada (K-On, A Silent Voice) co-directing with Abel Gongora (Scott Pilgrim, Dandadan S2): a scholar-raised orphan slave girl in 13th-century Persia loses everything when the Mongols sack Tus, then uses her mind to bend history. Starts small and cozy before pulling the rug. Soft Ranking of Kings-style art hiding razor-sharp brutality, the most thoughtful look at Islam in anime, and the first premiere since Orb this thought-provoking and emotionally powerful. A real anime-of-the-year contender.
