Found out Onimusha is part 3D CGI and part painted background so that probably will mean it'll make me too dizzy like RWBY does so I'm going to have to miss out. Bumsticks.

since it's not on letterboxd yet, I just thought I'd use this to say that Onimusha might be the best thing Miike has worked on since Blade of the Immortal and is an absolutely fucking stellar anime with the perfect balance between kinetic hyper stylized violence and heart ripping emotional resonance

[dynared]

The fact that Netflix had Blue Eye Samurai and Onimusha in the same weekend and didn't bother to really promote the former and let the video game people promote the latter is an example of blown ad potential. Now Blue-Eye Samurai is stuck with word of mouth and arguments over stuff not in the action show. You couldn't have had the writers sit down and discuss samurai movies? Or better yet, have the writers sit down with Takashi Miike and discuss samurai movies? You don't think that the people who made BES were at least half-aware of Blade of the Immortal?

It's a double shame since most of the commentary about BES is positive and Onimusha is surprisingly well done thanks to Miike's direction. But while Onimusha seemed to have made something of a blip, BES doesn't seem to have made much outside of those arguments.

Musashi: "All battles are meaningless."

Kojiro: "Even this one we're having?"

Musashi: "Yes even this one. We're just two monsters spending our idle time, nothing more."

Netflix's Onimusha from 'Takashi Miike'

the animation style.. wonder if anime is moving towards that pallet.

By slowly moving into 3D and abandoning traditional 2d animation.

Onimusha [鬼武者] (2023)

[sonicasura]

For those who watch the Onimusha Netflix series, please know that it existed way longer in the form of Capcom. A videogame series the anime clearly doesn't reflect. Let's start with the key element that clearly been ignored: The Oni Gauntlet.

In the game series, there was a clan of Oni who protected humanity from malevolent demons called Genma. One important item they use is the Oni Gauntlet. This tool absorbs the souls of the Genma and unlock their hidden power like magic. Normal weaponry can't do much on these demons this the Oni Gauntlet.

An item used by Samanosuke but also other Onimusha protagonists throughout the games. Using the power of the Oni NEVER had consequences like turning evil. It does grant the wielder the ability to transform into a Oni for a limited time then turn back.

Another thing are the Oni Weapons. Various magical armory that can only be wielded by those who possess an Oni Gauntlet. Only drawback to using these weapons is the magic needed. An issue circumvent by the gauntlet.

Not anyone can just use the Oni Gauntlet. They have to be chosen by the Oni Council. I can't forget there are humans who have Oni heritage in the series and can inherit an Oni Gauntlet/use Oni Weapons as well.

There's also the main character Samanosuke Akechi. A ronin who wishes to save his cousin Yuki when she's abducted from Genma under the rule of Nobunaga Oda. Upon being defeated by a demon, twelve Oni grant Samanosuke the Oni Gauntlet so he can vanquish the Genma and seal their souls away to prevent resurrection.

The Netflix series can be considered a spin off to the games as it really doesn't match the games. Different protagonist, using the Oni Gauntlet basically means turning into a malevolent demon message, power scale issues, murdering humans, etc. A huge lack of worldbuilding the OG series has but is ignored by the miniseries.

I highly suggest checking the Onimusha videogames specifically playthroughs as only the first game has gotten a remake. Capcom really needs to fix that. For anyone curious, here's playthrough links for 1lWarlords, 2, Warriors, 3, and 4.

If there's a second season of Onimusha-Netflix

An older Sayo should absolutely be the MC using the various skills she picked up from the series's character that she knew.

Remember Onimusha? The series died back in 2008 after a Dawn of Dreams movie fell through because the star they cast passed away - Heath Ledger.

About 25 years later, Netflix is bringing it back as an anime directed by...Takashi Miike (no, really) and starring the likeness of THE samurai actor, Toshiro Mifune (with the blessing of his estate), as Miyamoto Musashi although he will be voiced by Akio Otsuka (no AI voices here). The show hits November 2.
