Free Complete Broadcast of 'Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin' Series

Mark your calendars for March 11, 2026! The popular anime series "Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin," created by Edelweiss, is set to make its debut for free viewing on ABEMA. Kicking off at 2 PM JST, the entire series of 13 episodes, along with the latest special episode titled "Kokorowa Rice Farming Journal," will be available to fans.

In this unique battle action RPG-turned-anime, we follow the protagonist Sakuna, a goddess of abundance. After being banished from the realm of the gods to the desolate island of Hinoe, which is overrun by demons, she must join forces with lost humans to tackle the dual challenges of rice farming and defeating demons. The original game received rave reviews for its meticulous portrayal of rice cultivation and immersive Japanese mythological landscape, resulting in a major cultural phenomenon often dubbed the "Rice Incident of Reiwa".

After making a successful transition to television in July 2024, the series captivated audiences with Sakuna's growth journey and the realistic depiction of the joys and trials of rice farming. To further enhance the narrative, a special episode centered around Sakuna's friend Kokorowa Hime aired on February 15 and 22, 2026, expanding the universe of the series.

This free broadcast will feature not only the 13 episodes of the main series but also the two-part special episode. Viewers can enjoy a week-long exclusive access to all episodes following the live broadcast. Therefore, this presents a perfect opportunity for fans and newcomers alike to binge-watch the entire saga of Sakuna's adventures.
