The Inspiration Behind the New Arc
The first act (episode 1) of the TV anime “Jadugal of the Tent”, “Things in Heaven and Things in Earth” and the second act (episode 2), “A Rose Blooming on Safar” will be broadcast as a 1-hour special on July 4, 2026 (Saturday). While many people expressed joy at the beautiful drawings and colors, there were also a number of heartbreaking comments about the shocking development of the second episode, saying, ``It's too painful.'' 
"Tentaku no Jadugal" is a historical manga based on tomato soup that is currently being serialized in Akita Shoten's "Souffle". This is a harem story set in Mongolia in the 13th century, where Sitara (Fatima), a former slave girl captured by the Mongol Empire, meets Dregene, the Mongol emperor's sixth wife, who also has mixed feelings about the Mongol Empire, and uses her wisdom to shake up the empire.
Behind the Scenes
Broadcasting of the TV anime produced by General Director Naoko Yamada, Director Abel Gongora, and animation production Science SARU (``Dandadan", ``The Tale of the Heike", ``Don't Mess with Eizouken!", etc.) will begin on July 4, 2026 (Saturday). In addition to Akira Sekine as Sitara and Ami Koshimizu as Doregene, the cast includes Noriko Kuwashima (as Fatima), Jun Saito (as Muhammad), Hiro Shimono (as Ogotai), Ryota Suzuki (as Tolui), Miyu Irino (as Shira), Daisuke Namikawa (as Chagatai), and Kenji Nojima (as Juchi).
The opening scene begins with Sitara running around the city of Tooth to the tune of the Islamic call to prayer, ``Azan.'' A unique touch and worldview ``The pictures are amazing'' ``It's already amazing at this point, is it the movie version?'' ``The color scheme is as beautiful as a picture book'' ``The staff credit font is cute'' ``It really moves with the touch of Tomato Soup...!'' Both the anime fans and the original fans were drawn in at once.
Afterwards, Sitara meets Fatima's son Muhammad, but he is easily discovered. "If I study, the price will go up, and I don't want to be sold far away," the viewers said. "I cried..." "That's why you pretended to be incompetent." In addition to expressing sympathy, there were also a number of voices praising Akira Sekine's acting skills, such as ``Sitara, you're so good'' and ``A genius act.''
Tragic Developments
And the viewers' bad premonitions were perfectly accurate. It was not the uncles but Mongol soldiers who opened the cellar door, and Sitara and Fatima were discovered by enemy forces.
Here, the OP of SEKAI NO OWARI's "Stella" has been released. Like the ED, "The OP is also great" "You're so excited!" "It's so beautiful..." "SEKAI NO OWARI!? The song is so good!" "The name SEKAI NO OWARI fits so well" "I cried at the OP" There were many voices of praise.
A Mongol soldier appears in front of the two and takes Euclid's Elements from the basement. "Only that book..." Sitara sees Fatima trembling and tells her to return the book. However, the words ``stolen books'' anger the Mongol soldiers, and they are about to be cut to death.
However, the blade that swung down struck Fatima, not Sitara. When Fatima is shown dying while saying, ``Don't touch my daughter...'' viewers say, "No, no!" "You're lying...ma'am..." "Sitara, who was a slave, is my daughter..." "No, no, you can't die!!" と悲鳴があがった。
Afterwards, Sitara and the others are brought to a group of tents pitched in a place called Tarkan. There, Sitara meets a man who was spared execution because he is a craftsman, but when he informs her that Nishapur, where Muhammad is, has also been destroyed, Sitara despairs.
The happy mood of the first episode takes a sudden turn, and the second episode takes a turn that makes you want to cover your eyes. "My life is already zero" "It would have been too painful to show just two episodes alone" "I can't stand it without this picture" The first broadcast had a considerable impact on viewers.
