Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Die Neue These is the third anime adaptation of Tanaka's 10-novel saga, itself inspired by Romance of the Three Kingdoms and 19th-century Prussian military history.
Miyano reportedly studied recordings of actual dictators' speeches to modulate Reinhard's charisma without slipping into cartoon villainy.
