What is Record of Grancrest War?#
Record of Grancrest War (also known as Grancrest Senki) is a fantasy series set in the land of Atlatan. In this world, the people are protected from chaos by “Lords” who possess the power of “Crests.” However, the stability of the land has crumbled as these Lords have abandoned their duties to fight one another, stealing Crests to expand their own dominion.
The story follows two unlikely allies: Siluca, a lone mage with a deep disdain for the corrupt Lords, and Theo, a vagrant knight training to liberate his homeland from tyrannical rule. By forming an oath as master and retainer, they strive to bring genuine reform to Atlatan.
If you’re ready to dive into this struggle for power and reform, you can watch the anime on Prime Video.
Is the Anime Really Finished?#
When deciding whether to commit to a series, the biggest question is often whether you’ll be left hanging. Based on the available data, there is one primary anime series that premiered in 2018.
While the anime provides a significant look into the war for Atlatan, viewers who want to ensure they have the complete story or who wish to delve deeper into the lore may want to explore the source material. To see if every plot point was covered to your satisfaction, we recommend picking up the Record of Grancrest War manga or light novels.

Release Order & Completionist Order#
Since there is only one main anime series (released starting January 5, 2018), the release order is the only order. Simply watch the series from start to finish. You can refer to the relationship tree on this page to confirm the entry for the 2018 series.
Order for Source Material Readers#
For those who do not mind continuing with the written word, we suggest watching the anime first to experience the visual scale of the war, then transitioning to the light novels or manga to fill in any remaining gaps in the narrative.
