Onimusha is another animated series based on a game by Capcom. It was released in 2023 on Netflix and has 8 episodes. They tell the story, just like the games, of feudal Japan.
During the Edo period, protagonist Musashi must gather all his strength to face a multitude of demons. The so-called Oni Gauntlet, an artifact that absorbs the souls of defeated demons, is helpful.
The adaptation has thrilled many users, particularly due to its gripping story and action sequences. The visual implementation and style give the series a unique touch, and only small details like occasionally flat dialogues disturb the overall picture. Since its release, Onimusha has accumulated around 26.8 million watched hours (via whats-on-netflix.com). A new part of the video game series was announced in 2024 and has pleased MeinMMO editor Niko Hernes.
