''The Idhun Chronicles'' (''Memorias de Idhún'') is the AnimatedAdaptation of Laura Gallego's ''The Idhún's Memories'' young-adult book trilogy produced by Zeppelin TV for Creator/{{Netflix}}.

In Silkeborg, Denmark, Jack comes home to find his parents murdered and the perpetrators, a young warrior and a sorcerer, hiding in the house waiting for him. He is saved by another warrior and a wizard, who take him away to Limbhad, a magical world where time has stopped and is always night and a place where he should be safe from the pursuers. A young girl named Victoria explains to him that his parents hailed from the world of Idhun, where three years earlier a necromancer named Ashran seized power, and he's hell-bent on finding and destroying all Idhunites who fled to Earth, sending out the two villains from earlier, Kirtash and Elrion, to do so.

To combat the threat, Jack will have to master his own powers under the watch of the two men who saved his life, warrior Alsan and wizard Shail, in order to join the Resistance against Ashran.

The first season, consisting of five episodes, premiered on Netflix on September 10, 2020.

!!Tropes seen on this show:
* {{Animesque}}: The character and background design is heavily influenced by anime, to the point of the series being considered by some Netflix's first Spanish-born anime.
* DoesntLikeGuns: Alsan prefers to fight with his sword rather than with a gun because considers that there is no honor in killing an enemy from a distance.
* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:Alsan]] becomes a half-wolf hybrid as a result of a failed necromancy experiment by Elrion.
* TheHeavy: Kirtash and Elrion effectively serve as Ashran's co-heavies, as they handle most of his dirty work killing dissidents, and the necromancer himself gets very little screen time.
* TheMagicGoesAway: After Ashran's astral conjunction wiped out the dragons and most of the unicorns in Idhun, magic isn't entirely gone from Idhun, but definitely on its last legs.
* OhMyGods: Shail and Alsan occasionally exclaim "Sacred Irial!".
* TranslationConvention: After Victoria notices that Jack can't speak the Idhunian language, she gives him an amulet that translates everything so that he can understand. From that point on, all of the dialogue is in Spanish (well, or the language of the dub you're watching), including that of Alsan, who was explicitly established as only speaking Idhunian.
