Netflix and Capcom have announced a new Onimusha anime series based on the iconic game series of the same name.

Here’s a brief synopsis on the show:

“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.”

A release date for the new anime series wasn’t announced – we’ll keep you guys posted.
