It has flown under the radar somewhat but, yes, Netflix is making an anime adaptation of Onimusha, the hack-and-slash series that emerged as a Capcom cult classic in the early-to-mid 2000s.

While Onimusha, out on November 2, doesn’t appear to be a direct adaptation of any fo🌠ur o💎f the console titles – with apologies to Jean Reno – it retains all of the stylish flair and samurai action that made the franchise a low-key success 20 years ago.

Following the story of 💖real-life swordsman and strategist Miyamoto Musashi, Onimusha sees the peace and prosperity of the early Edo Period interrupted by invading demons. Musashi, with his mystical Oni Gauntlet, is t🎃asked with destroying the impending threat – while protecting those close to him.

At first glance, Onimusha looks seriously impressive. We’re not far removed from other acclaimed adaptations in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and Arcane. It’s early days but this looks to be cut from the same cloth 💝and could wiggle its way into some to🌱p-10 lists by the year’s end.

It’s also bolstered by some considerable talent. Audition’s Takashi M💟iike is on supervising director duties, while Dragon’s Dogma anime director Shinya Sugai and studio Suꦡblimation. You may notice that Musashi is also modelled after Toshiro Mifune, the legendary actor who frequently collaborated with Akira Kurosawa and starred in seminal Japanese movies Seven Samurai and – if I’m remembering this correctly – Rashomon.
