Surrounded by zombies in a desolate mountain village, Miyamoto Musashi (Ôtsuka Akio) hatches a plan to corral the creatures and blast them en masse. But the samurai needs bait, so he dangles a young girl named Sayo (Yamane Aya), the town’s sole survivor, in front of the horde. A close-up centers her trembling face and chattering teeth. “Don’t worry,” Musashi says, flashing an impish smile. “I won’t let them lay a finger on you.” Sayo steels herself, nodding with quiet confidence in her newfound companion.
The scene, which takes place midway through the second episode of Netflix’s Onimusha, is emblematic of the animated series, based on Capcom’s supernatural samurai video game series of the same name. Beneath the show’s slick, ferocious action—a hallmark of supervising director Miike Takashi—lies a surprisingly touching emotional core.

While Konami seems to have been hogging all of the animated Netflix video game adaptations lately, Capcom has countered with a new trailer for Onimusha, which is set to start streaming on November 2. Set to “The Loneliest” by Måneskin, the trailer doesn’t get into the demon-slaying that the video games are known for just yet, but that’s quickly rectified.
Unlike the Castlevania Netflix adaptations, Onimusha instead utilizes 3D animation with a cel-shaded art style from animation studio Sublimation and director Shinya Sugai, whose work includes the CG anime adaptation of another Capcom property, Dragon’s Dogma.
Directed by Takashi Miike and featuring the voice talents of Akio Otsuka, Toshihiko Seki, Hochu Otsuka, Daiki Yamashita, Subaru Kimura and Katsuyuki Konishi, Onimusha will focus on Miyamoto Musashi, who is modeled after Japanese film icon Toshiro Mifune.
Set in the early Edo Period, a time when Japan was transitioning towards peace, and warfare was fading into history,...

There’s a lot to like in this two-part teen flick, but at four-and-a-half hours long there’s also just a lot of it
As is often the way with bowdlerised cinema adaptations of long-running anime series, the two-part version of Penguindrum – which originally occupied 24 episodes in 2011 – drops us into a tombola of characters and timelines of screaming import for the initiated, but which are overwhelming for newcomers. It’s a shame because wading through the almost four-and-a-half hours here reveals a rich, ambitious work with frequently ravishing animation that, better paced, might have insinuated, not hectored, its way into our affections.
Teenager Himari (voiced by Miho Arakawa) collapses and dies on an aquarium visit, and she is revived thanks to the magical penguin hat she bought in the souvenir shop – it links her lifeforce to a rubber-clad dominatrix spirit in another dimension. In return for keeping her alive, it demands that Himari’s brothers,...

We’ve got a brand new trailer to share with you for Netflix’s upcoming Ultraman anime series! The series is an adaptation of the manga by Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shiguchi, which serves as a sequel to the original 1966 Ultraman series. I love that this is going to be a continuation of the original story, and it looks like it’s going to be great! I also dig the the animation style and design work.
Here’s the synopsis that was released for the series:
“Several years have passed since the events of Ultraman, with the legendary “Giant of Light” now a memory, as it is believed he returned home after fighting the many giant aliens that invaded the Earth. Shin Hayata’s son Shinjiro seems to possess a strange ability, and it is this ability, along with his father’s revelation that he was Ultraman, that leads Shinjiro...

Screened at the closing of this year’s London Sci-Fi Oktoberfest, Eden of the East was premiered in the UK in a themed anime showcase. As the entire series will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on the 29th of November, I thought that it would be a good opportunity to review one of my favourite television shows to be released this year.
Based on the original story by Kenji Kamiyama, the series takes place a few months from now where Saki Morimi (Saori Hayami) is on a trip to America and bumps into a naked Akira Takizawa (Ryohei Kimura) with no memory of who he is. Shortly after, Akira finds a photograph, numerous passports and a mobile phone with eight billion yen in his supposed apartment and decides to travel back with Saki to Japan.
When they both return to Japan, they both continue to see each other while...
