The cherished Onimusha series is making a return of sorts, albeit not in the form of a game but a Netflix anime adaptation, which will have some critics wondering if it’ll be decent as Netflix productions tend to vary in quality.

Onimusha is a video game franchise that contains various Japanese historical figures and mixes in elements of the supernatural.

The Netflix anime’s chief director will be Takashi Miike, Shinya Sugai will serve as director, Sublimation was chosen as the animation studio, and Toshihiro Mifune is serving as the model for character Musashi Miyamoto.

According to Netflix, the anime will follow Musashi as he attempts to defeat the Genma during the Edo period of Japan:

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 couple screenshots were released as a tease:

The Netflix Sonic series, Sonic Prime, has been teased with a rather fast-paced trailer, revealing that several classic Sonic characters will be making an appearance and bound to have many hoping the show will do the franchise justice (as the games often do not, according to fan opinions).

The brief look at the show naturally contained a surplus of running as characters such as Shadow, Sonic, and Big appeared:

Omake:

The winter 2022 premiere for the show will be 40 minutes while 24 20-minute episodes will be available afterwards.

A recent Twitch event with the producer of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, a Netflix anime from Studio Trigger based on CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk series, has been spreading around online as it had the producer explaining they didn’t want the character Rebecca in the show because she was a lolita character, yet Studio Trigger was insistent that “the loli must stay”.

The 47-second clip explaining the matter in better detail:

CD Projekt Red is probably best known for being responsible for Cyberpunk 2077, a title that was highly anticipated but ended up being a disaster riddled with atrocious bugs, errors, and poor gameplay.
