Netflix Unleashes Onimusha: A Demonic Delight!
Hey gamers, Netflix has something wickedly awesome in store for us! The streaming giant has just dropped the first trailer for its animated adaptation of Capcom’s Onimusha video game franchise, and boy, does it look like a demon-slaying extravaganza! Get ready to kick some samurai butt when it premieres on November 2 later this year.
To set the stage, picture our protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, rocking that iconic Oni Gauntlet and taking on all sorts of foes – demons, humans, the works. And all this action is perfectly accompanied by the series’ theme song, ‘The Lonliest’ by the incredible artist Måneskin. We’re already bobbing our heads to it!
But hold on, the stakes are high and the clock is ticking. In a classic race against time scenario, Musashi is given a tight 33-day deadline to complete a top-secret mission. At the same time, a seemingly human antagonist, chillingly sipping on a blood-like liquid, reveals his sinister wish to exterminate all remaining samurai in Japan. Talk about a big bad with an appetite for destruction!
Just when you think things couldn’t get any crazier, a fiery entity descends upon Musashi, charging him with the task of obliterating the Genma – those pesky demons we know and love from the Capcom series. And to make things even more interesting, our hero finds himself protecting a young girl with a tragic past. The action doesn’t just come from sword-swinging; it’s got heart too!
Now, let’s take a moment to appreciate the stunning visuals. The backdrop of this demon-infested world draws inspiration from the fantastical Edo Period of Japanese history. The hand-drawn backgrounds transport us to a realm where demons roam free, while the characters themselves come to life in glorious 3D CGI. It’s like stepping into a living, breathing painting!

For those who might be unfamiliar with the Onimusha franchise, fear not! This legendary video game series from Capcom began back in 2001 with the release of Onimusha: Warlords, and it quickly captivated gamers around the globe. With three mainline games and a plethora of spinoffs, Onimusha became a household name. Although it’s been a while since we last heard from our demon-slaying hero, except for a 2019 remaster of the original PS2 game, the fandom has remained strong and patiently awaited its return.
Now, let’s talk about the masterminds behind this animated adaptation. Overseeing the project is none other than Takashi Miike, known for his work on films like Audition. Alongside him is director Shinya Sugai, who previously showcased his skills with Netflix’s CG animated adaptation of Dragon’s Dogma. With such talented minds at the helm, we can expect Onimusha to reach new heights of demonic delight!
So mark your calendars, gamers! November 2 is the day we dive headfirst into the world of Onimusha, unleashing our inner samurai and battling hordes of demons. Get ready for an action-packed, emotionally charged journey that will leave you craving more!
Until then, stay gaming and keep those blades sharp!
