Produced by Liden Films, Hortensia Saga is the animated series adaptation of the Japanese free-to-play role-playing video game which carries the same name developed by f4Samurai and Sega. Because of the existing game, the series has been drawing attention since its release and has been showing promise with its story and animation.
The mobile game where Hortensia Saga is based was released last 2015 and when it was announced that it would be having an animated series, gamers check the anime out to see if the series stays faithful to the story of the game.
Hortensia Saga revolves around the story of a medieval kingdom where the king was murdered and betrayed by one of the dukes who then takes over the kingdom for him to rule. What the duke doesn't know is that there is an heir to the throne who is secretly coming of age in preparation for the reclamation of the throne and the kingdom itself.
The Isekai anime series will have 13 episodes all in all for the first season and there is no confirmation yet as to the English dubbed version as well to the second season.
