The 2018 fantasy harem series Conception has arrived on Crunchyroll, offering the complete 12-episode run with both English dub and subtitle options. Produced by Studio Gonzo, the show follows high schooler Itsuki, who is abruptly transported to the magical world of Granvania.
There, he learns he's destined to father 'Star Children' with a group of women known as Star Maidens. This is presented as the only way to combat 'Impurities' that are destabilizing the world and threatening its very existence. Itsuki's task is to produce these children to restore order.
Conception leans heavily into its isekai and harem elements, blending them with comedic and parodic tones. Its premise, which involves a meta-commentary on the genre tropes while featuring a young protagonist in a highly unusual situation, defines its niche appeal.
