"How many do you want the plot twist, sir?"
"Yes"
"Huh???"
That's probably the conversation between director and producer of this anime during the production. If you didn't get what I meant, there are like 4? 5? 6? Well there are at least 7 of MAJOR plot twists in this anime. That's A LOT, packed tight in 12 episodes. Up until I watched this anime, I was almost always able to predict what was going to happen in most anime. Hell I bet yall also be the same. But this anime blows my mind every time a new episode just comes up. How not? every time you think you know what's gonna happen, this anime just crushes your predictions just like you squashing an orange when making a glass of orange juice. Anyway, enough rambling lets get to the boring part, scoring this objectively. the animation is no…

It's well done, as in overcooked. There were what? 5 Nani?! You think you understood the plot, then bang something else happens that changes your world views. I can usually predict the plot of almost all the series I watch now, this show challenged me. Music I didn't pay attention to, but the sound FX guys were going HAM. bruh I swear they mixed in subsonic frequencies for all the explosions. My house was shaking! Most of the combat was 3D CGI, but honestly it fit the vibe so not complaints. I can't fully recommend this show though to new peeps, since it's too convoluted. For me it was very entertaining.

I dont wanna ramble too much, spoil anything or go into detail. All I am gonna say is, its not a 10/10 anime, it has a fast pace to it, which I actually liked, but it had a story that had me hooked from start to end. I dont like characters with weird hair like the mc, it felt like a turn off at first, but I got used to it, I am not a big fan of red that was why. I was reluctant to watch it, but I make it a point to atleast watch the first 2eps and I think whether this anime seems like a turn off or not, you should atleast give it a try, atleast ep 1.

Alright time for another review, alright time for another review, alright time, time, for....what? Onmyou is a show that appears to be your typical shonen villain of the week type of anime, but slowly becomes something more, dealing with a resetting story that slightly deviates each time it resets as it leads you on a journey to know the nature of this world
Synopsys - In this world the people are hunted down by being they call Oni, and only the priests who are sworn to protect it can stop it. Takeru, our main protagonist is transported to this futuristic version of the past after having an encounter with Tsukimiya, a woman he met years ago and fell in love with, but who doesn't remember who he is. One day in this world Takeru is sent back to the time from when he arrived, as he slowly un…

I did like the show at first. The overall animation was OK but I was not a fan of the CGI. The story was all over the place. At times I found it interesting & mysterious , other times silly and finally disappointing. Honestly the mystery is what kept me going. By the end of the show I still didn't fully get what happened. I didn't like sometimes use horrible color palettes.
Who is the anime for? It will stimulate those who like demon hunting, supernatural action and magic systems.
Is the story unique?
It is in some ways. It was a bit unpredictable too

a convoluted story about hope, time jump, and giant monster battles.
Introduction:
Onmyo Kaiten Re:Birth Verse is a 2025 original anime directed by hideya takahashi (jojo part 7 anime), and animated by David production.
Story summary:
this story centers around a loner delinquent named takeru, who gets transported to a different reality that resembles heian era with advanced technology and sorcery. it particularly features only one city (or it should be addressed as a town because it's so small in the anime) the Denji Heian-kyou city. in historical context, this city is kyoto in japan.
before takeru was isekai'd, he had a vision of a girl named tsukimiya, who asked him to save her. takeru tries to save her, and eventually discovers that he has the mysterious ability to jump time when he…

It's a fine anime - maybe a bit closer to average because of some mistakes that make it feel a little flat - but it’s a decent exploitation of the genre. It leans on some beaten-up tropes, but overall it works. There's an interesting mix of old and new elements, though the story itself isn’t particularly unique. It’s not very predictable and has some tension, especially at the beginning, but as it progresses, you start to lose interest in the world due to a lack of depth and worldbuilding. I enjoyed it at first but was a bit disappointed that it didn’t explore more of its own setting. Worldbuilding is lacking in many places. The animation is a bit weak. The art style is good, though nothing fancy, and the show has relatively few characters. Altogether, solid 5/10. I’m hoping the director’s…

A good shounen isekai that shows that you don't need the shitty ecchi (slave) harem BS going on to be good.
The characters are well balanced, and yes it's NOT a harem. There's a very real "this is the girl Takeru likes". That's what actually got me to watch it.
Then it turns out that the characterization is actually good and not super 2D, even though they DO love to cram in all the "one punch/move" shounen stuff. It might even have been created by two women too which is why the main female character, Tsukimiya isn't just another "trope" character. She even gives advice to Takeru and he takes it.
The plot does get a little bit "Please save me Takeru" at times, but that feeds into the over all plot of "what is up with this dying thing."
Most people will say this is just "Re: Zero" but it's…

Quite underrated IMO. It's about as good as Steins;gate or Summertime Rendering, yet its languishing in obscurity for some reason. It really boggles my mind that anime fans will jump on some series but not others.
The core of this series is a mystery-thriller with a (pseudo) time travel mechanic. The protagonist has to piece together what's going on in this world, then try to save as many people as he can. This is executed fairly well, with the plot being complex enough to be interesting, but simple enough not to be convoluted. All of the reveals were foreshadowed reasonably well, and the show doesn't run out of intrigue halfway through the season and devolve into almost pure good-guy-vs-bad-guy like Summertime Rendering did. It's also paced briskly enough that it doesn't have Steins;gat…

If you are a fan of Re:Zero type anime ; of death & reincarnation ; this new style will be to your liking.
The Beginning (introduction) 7/10 starts off strong and sets the stage for the world; environment ; characters ; backgrounds
The thing that made me give it a lower mark ; is the fact that the Middle (development) 5/10 part of the story prolongs for far too long and the development cycle ; keeps repeating that makes the watcher disengaged with the story ; but if you have the patience to go through the repeated middle section for multiple episodes ; you will be rewarded.
The End (resolution) 9/10 brings it back to a high note and leaves a opening for future seasons & expansions on the story.
It felt like the pace took a very long time and multiple episodes to pick up from the introdu…

Now that the anime is completed I'm glad we have a resolution.
If you're looking for a completed story, an easy to complete watch, a dash of surprising twists and some fighting scenes set in a world where the historical and sci-fi meet, this might be for you.
Onmyou Kaiten has a striking and unique visual design, and the world of Denji Heian-kyou has a distinct atmosphere. The anime also offers a refreshing, non-harem-focused protagonist and the fanservice is minimal.
Though I feel this anime could've been more, it's far from the worst.
ARTSTYLE
Unique and modern. CHARACTER DESIGN
Apart from the main character and his love interests, a lot of characters have a generic feel about them.
ANIMATION
Blends 2D and 3D moderately well. I liked the fighting scenes but they don't compete with sc…

In a lively summer landscape dominated by giants such as Gachiakuta and Dandadan, it's easy to overlook more modest series. Onmyo Kaiten Re:birth is one of them. A title that, without claiming to revolutionize the medium, nevertheless manages to stand out and deserves our attention.
Animation: 7.5
Artistic direction: 8
Visually, David Production delivers a respectable performance. The animation is decent, although the use of CGI may put some people off. The artistic direction, on the other hand, appeals with its discreet charm and helps to create an engaging atmosphere. Musically, the score is fairly unobtrusive, except for a striking choral OST that intensely accompanies the final confrontation.

Development: 5.5

One of the craziest anime this season, and for sure one of the best this year. Honestly whatever I write will not be enough to describe how amazing this anime is, so I just want to thank every one who worked in this project, you did amazing and you should know that there is people out there that appreciate the amazing work you did.
This anime is on of the works that always remind me that, if watch what other people say its good or not in social media or even this website, I will be missing on a lot of peak anime that I have watched in my life. So please dear reader, watch it and I promise you, you will enjoy it so much.
From the first minute to the last, this anime was absolute peak. The story is build around hype and crazy plot twists, it even made me jump from my chair a lot of times…

Well, that was an anime...
I really liked the direction of the scenes, especially combat, though CGI was bit on the eyes, scenario left me bit disappointed, but had some really good twists that didn't feel like taken from the butt.
Would I reccomend it?
If you have nothing else to watch and liked shows like Tengen Toppa or Re:Zero (weird mix, I know, but both fit) - you MIGHT like that anime. Start might feel bit confusing if you don't try to decipher the story, but it all comes together eventually.
Supporting characters felt flat, main cast was really good. Character abilities felt like typical shounen troupe - which isn't exactly something I liked....

Story- 6/10
Uhhh this story confused me a lot, I don't get what the story was trying to do half the time, like I understood things but I didn't get why it was the way it was. It also felt like they pulled some stuff out of nowhere. Actions scenes weren't really that good tbh.
Art- 10/10
I think the art was one of the best parts of this anime. I mean the whole art style and theme of neon ancient Chinese inspired city was really cool. The color palette was really really saturated and stunning. The characters were drawn beautifully, they all were unique in their own way.
Sound-7/10
Voice actors were the right fit, all the opening and endings were good. Everything was done well just didn't stand out for me much.
Characters- 6/10
They weren't written well. Mc didn't have much of a flaw. An…

Onmyo-Kaiten Re:Birth Verse - What in the Re:Zero name...is this time-travelling shtick?
Let's be real here, as I've said from time to time: it's not easy creating original anime in a time where the Isekai and/or fantasy genre has pretty much taken a foothold in the current-day AniManga sphere so much that we're being given slop series every season and so on. I admire the efforts from the people who come up with original concepts but am also harsh if it feels like blatant rip-offs of other shows that give a hand to the overarching story and concept, or if both are being too overambitious for their own good. And this is exactly the case with David Productions' first original anime since the studio's inception in September 2007: Onmyo-Kaiten. Re:Birth Verse marries the best of both worlds —…
