Netflix has launched the debut trailer for its upcoming Onimusha anime, because of broadcast from November 2nd, 2023.
Directed by Takashi Miike (Audition, Ichi the Killer), Onimusha is an adaptation of Capcom’s dormant motion franchise, with the newest title, a remaster of Onimusha: Warlords, launching again in 2018. The sequence guarantees “realistic action” and boasts some really gorgeous animation work.
If you recognise the primary character, Miyamoto Musashi, do not be shocked. He’s really modeled after Toshiro Mifune, a legendary Japanese actor who starred in classics resembling Seven Samurai, Rashomon, and Throne of Blood.
Here’s hoping the Onimusha sequence can show its value alongside the astounding Castlevania sequence and maybe give Capcom the nudge it wants to really reignite the franchise on console.
