Being banished may be the start of a happier life. The TV anime The True Saintess Was Banished, So This Country Is Finished will begin in January 2027, the official site announced on October 3. Bandai Namco Filmworks also posted a teaser trailer on its official YouTube channel.

Eliane narrates the teaser

In the trailer, heroine Eliane, voiced by Masumi Tazawa, recounts the story so far before broadcast. Her changing expressions, her meeting with Prince Nigel of a neighboring country, and a light new piece of background music are among its highlights.

After her fiancé, First Prince Claude, calls her a “false saint,” Eliane is expelled from the country. She meets Nigel on her travels, comes to live at his castle, and begins using her true power in his homeland. The anime adapts Shikiso Utsuzawa’s K Lanove Books novel series from Kodansha, which has more than 1.5 million copies in circulation.

Newly announced composer Kanako Hara says she likes Eliane’s forthright strength. She wrote the music to honor the story’s grand, classic fantasy world.
