Ulysses: Jeanne d'Arc and the Alchemist Knight is a TV anime produced by AXsiZ, based on the light novel series by Haruki Mikage. Blending action, adventure, fantasy, and romance against the backdrop of the Hundred Years' War, the series follows Montmorency, a young alchemist whose fateful encounter with Jeanne d'Arc sets the stage for a legendary journey powered by the mystical arts.

Set against the turbulent backdrop of 15th-century France, this story unfolds during the devastating Hundred Years' War between France and England. Montmorency, a young nobleman with a keen intellect, dedicates himself to mastering the arcane arts of magic and alchemy within the walls of a prestigious knight's academy. His quiet pursuit of knowledge, however, is shattered when the tides of war bring catastrophe — the academy is forced to close its doors, and Montmorency finds himself a fugitive in a land torn apart by conflict. As he navigates the dangers of a war-ravaged countryside, fate leads him to an unexpected encounter with Jeanne, a village girl whose presence seems nothing short of miraculous. In a world where swords and sorcery collide with history, what role will these two unlikely souls play in shaping the destiny of France?
