Out of nowhere.

I guess the test...led to something then?

I don't mind 3D animation, but this looks a little flat and kinda gross. Still, I'm here for anything Onimusha. Hopefully this isn't all from the series we're getting.

Kinda...REALLY WEIRD to base a character model off of an actor who died over two decades ago.

this can only mean a new onimusha game is in the works based on that leaked list

Did they pay for Toshiro Mifune's likeness or something? I have to assume they did, no way Netflix would be able to get away with that otherwise.

I'm... intrigued, but Dragon's Dogma was bunked. This at least has a lot more potential in my opinion.

Speaking of Capcom anime adaptations, whatever happened to that DMC show that had folks from the Castlevania series involved?

Love the games & I'm a big fan of Miike's films. Not really into anime anymore though.

Hope it turns out well, I'll give it a shot.

The piece of shit that bought the DMC rights "so the wrong people don't get them" and ended up doing nothing with them for basically 10 years is starting to get on my nerves. Not gonna lie.

1. Ew it's 3D.

2. I'm not an Onimusha expert but why is this not starring the protag from the games?

Ooh, hope this means Capcom is interested in using the IP again. At least some remasters of the rest of the games would be nice.

Uh... I mean a quick google search reveals that the Season 1 script was done and the show went into production in early this year. So like, I don't know, chill?

if this is by the same animation studio as dragons dogma its gonna have some seriously bomb ass actions scenes and a bunch of really bad looking ones

some of the dragons dogma shit is REALLY impressive, like unbelievably so because most of the show looks bad bad

Yeah well how about you google search again and find out that he got the rights over 5 years ago "to prevent others from adapting it" and then got a horrible writer to write the script recently.

And now it's the age of shitty 3D CG animes so who knows what it's even going to look like.

I mean your first post said: 10 years ago, and last I checked, 2018 was 4 years ago.

Also from what I can tell the writer whose on the show has written 1 movie that got good reviews, wrote some episodes of an anime that got... pretty decent reviews and another show that hasn't released yet lol What makes them a horrible writer?

Also it's probably going to end up being animated by the same people who animated Castlevania.

Just seems way too aggressive for like no reason lol

I mean, if this even remotely leads to some sort of revival for the series, I'll be happy.

Still can't believe they only did a remaster for the first game. That absolutely needed to be a $40 remaster collection of the original trilogy.

Am I going crazy or did they not announce a DMC one like 3 years ago from the makers of Castlevania?

If this means a new game is coming, cool.

Honestly there's so many different directions you could go with a new Onimusha. Every flavor of From's games(Souls/Sekiro/Elden Ring) could be a new Oni template. Oni 2's relationship/branching system could be expanded. There's the question of tone, whether it's more Oni 1 dark and atmospheric or more DMC-esque over the top like DoD. What IS a modern Onimusha?


Oni games have a special place in my heart, as a kid I was completely enraptured with the sense of "real" Japanese history mixed with surreal horror and magic. A lot of my tastes probably got crystallized through those games.

I don't know who the crew is behind this one, but still I'm hesitant after Dragon's Dogma's adaptation.

I'll take anything Onimusha at this point. Even if it leaves me in a place of purgatory between always wanting a new game and knowing its never going to happen 🤡

Please be fucking good. Onimusha is a hell of a game to be kept hiding like this.

I wouldn't have known it was supposed to be Onimusha if not for being told it was.

Also, I haven't bothered buying the Onimusha 1 remaster with the crappy new soundtrack but none of the Genma Onimusha content and I'm not going to either (I have all four of the PS2 originals, so I'm good).
