I didn't think that I would be able to see the anime version of Onimusha (netflix). I've played the game Onimusha - demon siege, so... I'm quite familiar with it.
The storyline may be different, but the results are really good. Moreover, Gore is also good. Fighting. Mystery. Moreover, the plot twist is interesting.
Each character seems to have its own impression, but I can understand it.
After all... while watching this, I'm probably quite familiar with other anime that I like.
Hopefully there is a game that can be adapted as cool as Onimusha. But I know, it won't be easy.

Have you ever given 3D anime a chance? If you're willing to overlook animation that's not up to par for a good story and well-written characters, then I highly recommend you watch Onimusha.
Despite being based on a video game, Onimusha stands on its own as a unique and captivating anime series. Even though the 3D animation isn't the best in the first couple of episodes, the story quickly draws you in and keeps you hooked. The characters are strong, intelligent, and relatable, and the plot is full of unexpected twists and turns.
Don't let the 3D animation deter you from giving Onimusha a try. It's a hidden gem among anime series that deserves more recognition. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I hope you will too.

For Akio Ohtsuka 10/10
Normally I don't like animation like this, but I watched it for Akio Ohtsuka and the voice actors of the other characters were also great. The plot and the ending were better than I expected. I don't know about the games and I only watched it because it was an anime. I definitely recommend it. It's a historical anime set in the Edo period and it has Miyamoto Mushashi and Sasaki Kojiro. Although it resembles Dororo a bit, it is a shorter anime and has a different style.
I also pleased with the finale, but it ended as if there was going to be a second season.

I am beyond surprised that Capcom actually gave Onimusha to a team that cares about the source material that they are adapting. This, in my opinion, is a decent adaptation with nicely choreographed fight scenes and plenty of likable character moments.
The only shred of hope I had for this adaptation came from the fact that Takashi Miike was at the helm of the production as director and he is most likely the reason why action scenes look as amazing as they do.
Animation:
To start it off I don't think a lot of people will be fond of the CGI. I had no problem with it because the hand-drawn backgrounds looked amazing and so did all of the fights. There are so many genuinely epic shots and camera angles used here, both in and out of action sequences.
Also, the art style just works a lot o…

Its aight.
Would've preferred an anime adaption of the the first game; Onimusha: Warlords. Game is beyond peak and def was ahead of time. The synopsis of this anime claims to be in the Sengoku era, meaning that I believe this anime series in the same timeline as the other game series, most likely in the early 1600s of the Sengoku Era since the first game; Onimusha: Warlords, is set in the 1560s.
*The Sengoku Era is known to have started and ended between 1467 and 1615, and the other game series slowly span out to the late 1500s in the same timeline.
In terms of an actual anime, its def a series to binge watch and chill. Animation is decent, and could see others questioning it, but it's not bad, just depends on their tastess
