Masamune Datenicle is a Japanese anime series produced through the cooperation of the anime studio Gaina (formerly known as Fukushima Gainax) and the city of Date, Fukushima. It is one of a number of anime produced by Gaina in promotion of Fukushima Prefecture. Otherwise known as Masamune Date ni Kuru (Japanese: 政宗ダテニクル), the anime references not only the word "chronicle" in its title, but also the Japanese phrase "come to Date."
The series follows a young Date Masamune as he prepares for his first battle. Upon praying at the Date family shrine, Masamune is met by a dragon deity that bestows him with a jewel granting him the power to summon former leaders of the Date Clan to help him on his journey.[2]
Masamune Datenicle was included in the 2019 edition of the 88 Japanese Anime Spots by the anime tourism association.[4]
