The first trailer for Netflix‘s upcoming Onimusha anime has been shown.
The show, which will start streaming on November 2, will focus on Onimusha: Blade Warriors character Musashi Miyamoto.
Onimusha is directed by Takashi Miike, the controversial Japanese filmmaker known for working on violent movies.
Previous Miike-helmed movies have included Audition, Ichi the Killer, Blade of the Immortal and Gozu. He also directed the live-action Ace Attorney movie in 2012.
Musashi’s appearance is based on that of Toshiro Mifune, the globally recognisable Japanese actor who starred in numerous Akira Kurosawa films including Seven Samurai and Rashomon.
“This is the beginning of an intense series full of realistic action in which Musashi’s blade slices through evil as he traverses a land plagued by poverty,” reads Netflix’s description.
The trailer can be seen below, or on the Netflix Anime YouTube channel:

Netflix first announced last year that it was working on an anime adaptation of Onimusha.
Its previous description of the show read: “The beginning of the Edo period, Musashi is no longer a young man. He departs with the legendary Oni Gauntlet to defeat the Genma. 3D CGI characters and hand-drawn backgrounds create phenomenal visuals. Onimusha is given a new life using modern-day animation technology.”
The Onimusha series was developed by Capcom, with the first game in the series, Onimusha: Warlords, releasing in 2001.
On September 27, Netflix will be hosting Drop 01, a “virtual showcase celebrating the best of Netflix’s genre animation series”.
The main highlight of the show will be Castlevania: Nocturne, the first three episodes of which will air during the 90-minute presentation.
A promotional poster image accompanying the announcement teases some of the other shows set to be revealed, including a Capcom logo. This may be referring to Onimusha.

Detective Pikachu isn’t the only live-action Pokemon offshoot in existence. There’s also a Japanese TV series on the way, but don’t expect to see more CG-animated Pokémon waltzing about in this one. Per Crunchyroll news, Pocket ni Boken o Tsumekonde — Pack Your Pockets with Adventure, or PokéTsume for short —is a Pokemon-inspired drama that aims to mine a very specific type of nostalgia. In particular, nostalgia aimed at folks who grew up on the original Game Boy and the first Pokemon games.
When we first heard that Japan would make a live-action Pokemon series, we felt, “It was about time!” But then we listened more to what they had to say about what they were making, and admittedly, our eyebrows went way up. Because this wasn’t a series about a live-action trainer going around the world and catching Pokemon, this was a series set in our world about a young woman who needed the video game series to get through a tough period in her life. It sounded both very weird and “very Japanese.” And now, PokéTsume has gotten its first trailer.
TV Tokyo has released the first trailer for a new live-action Pokémon drama series called Pack Your Pocket With Adventure (literal translation), or Pokétsume for short.
A trailer for PokeTsume, a new live-action TV show from The Pokémon Company, has been released.

There’s no such thing as too much anime.
Fate/Samurai Remnant is a new JRPG based on the popular Fate anime series, and it's nearing the top of Steam's most popular new releases.
Devil May Cry is a core video game series for many of us, allowing us to experience the forefront of battles against demonic hordes as Dante, a demon hunter looking to avenge his mother’s murder by destroying the evil creatures. If you’ve played through the series yourself, then you also probably agree that Devil May Cry would make an incredible anime series. Much like other Japanese classics such as Castlevania, Capcom’s iconic series is getting an anime adaptation and it’s coming soon to Netflix.
We love a bit of anime here at Gameranx, and what a wide selection of content this genre has. In terms of video games though, unless you keep up with the current trends, there are an awful lot of anime games that you can miss out on. The PlayStation 4 is a very prolific console for this type of genre as well (it might have something to do with the Japanese connection) and the variety of games is about as impressive as it gets. But because there are so many great (and not-so-great) anime games out there, we thought we’d create a list of the 25 best PlayStation 4 anime games that you can’t pass up on.
Anime are often translated into video games via fighting titles. If you don’t believe us, here are eleven you can find on the PS4!
