One of the more known isekai series of the coming Winter 2025 broadcast season is none other than Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time season 1. The series will serve as the television anime adaptation of the original light novels of the same name from author Kogitsunemaru and illustrator Hitogome, which began in February 2018. Likewise, the source material’s popularity has translated into significant hype for the upcoming series.
However, it’s unlikely that Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time season 1 leaks in any capacity at this point, with the anime’s premiere set for the coming days and weeks. What fans do at least have is confirmed release information for the anime series. In turn, this also gives viewers an expected release schedule for the coming season, which is subject to change based on any episode-specific delays that may occur.
How many episodes will Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time season 1 have?
Based on the latest available information at press time, Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time season 1 is expected to have 12 episodes. Several reputable X (formerly Twitter) accounts have posted corroborating information, but these are technically unofficial sources. Likewise, the lack of Blu-ray DVD listings on the anime’s official website makes this information difficult to officially confirm.
The first episode will premiere in Japan on Wednesday, January 1, 2025 at 10 PM Japanese Standard Time (JST). For almost all international viewers, this means a release sometime during the day on Wednesday, January 1 locally as well. The expected full release schedule for Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time season 1, per the Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), British Summer Time (BST), and India Standard Time (IST) timings, is as follows:
It’s worth emphasizing that the above is only the expected release schedule and could be changed by certain events. One such event is any episode’s delay, which would push subsequent episodes back accordingly. For example, if episode 3 is delayed by one week, every episode after will be delayed by one week. What may also affect the release schedule is if the anime officially confirms itself for less than 12 episodes in its first season run.
Where to watch Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time season 1
Domestically in Japan, the series will air on Tokyo MX, BS11, and AT-X at varying times and dates from Wednesday, January 8, 2025 onward. However, the series will premiere one week early on the ABEMA and d Anime Store streaming services in Japan. Other streaming services like Hulu, Lemino, Amazon Prime Video, and more will begin streaming the series on the day of its Japanese television premiere.
Internationally, Crunchyroll is streaming the series weekly as it airs in Japan with English subtitles. Crunchyroll is also matching the series’ early premiere schedule, meaning overseas viewers can check the series out starting on New Year’s Day 2025. Crunchyroll is also producing several alternate language dubs for the series, including an English one.
What to expect from Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time season 1
Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time season 1 should focus on introducing viewers to series protagonist Takumi Iruma, and Iruma to the new world he’s been summoned to. A major focus should be honing his alchemy skills, which will likely bear fruit in Iruma’s ability to both conjure weapons and more peaceful tools and objects. Fans can also expect antagonists and supporting characters alike to be introduced throughout the season.
