Capcom’s classic game series Onimusha is making a comeback as an anime adaptation that will be available on Netflix at an unrevealed date. As part of several reveals from Netflix Anime, five images for the upcoming series were revealed.
Similar to the recent Tekken: Bloodline series, Onimusha will combine 3D animation with CGI effects and hand-drawn backgrounds, with Ichi the Killer director Takashi Miike and Sublimation Studio’s Shinya Sugai in charge of the project as chief director and director respectively.
