Journey into the supernatural as Netflix brings to life Onmyoji, an eagerly awaited anime adaptation of Baku Yumemakuras acclaimed series of novels. Premiering on November 28, this series promises to captivate audiences with its unique blend of history, mysticism, and an epic battle against menacing demons.
The legacy of "Onmyoji" spans various forms of media, including manga, live-action films, and theatrical stage performances. With this new animated series, a fresh dimension is added to the timeless tale, focusing on the legendary figures of Abe Seimei and Minamoto Hiromasa, both from Japans Heian Period. Together, they confront humans who have been transformed into malevolent demons. Seimei, the eccentric yet unparalleled diviner of ancient Kyoto, teams up with Hiromasa, a well-meaning grandson of Emperor Daigo, to put a halt to the demons malevolent activities.
The newly released action-packed trailer showcases the mastery of Abe Seimeis barrier spell and an array of mystical powers of divination, while also teasing unimaginable demon attacks that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
The key art conveys the strong bond between Seimei and Hiromasa as they face down demons together.
Adding to the excitement, "Kodoku no Saibo," the opening theme song for Onmyoji by the talented band Ling tosite sigure adds an electrifying dimension to the intense battles between the onmyoji (specialists in magic and divination) and the demons.
"Do all the emotions that go into the creation of music, words, and everything else in the world actually come from us? How do we fill the void, and how is it filled? said Ling tosite sigure. We have adorned the boundary between freedom and bondage with a most fascinating curse. We hope it was also a miraculous curse of fate that led director Sobi Yamamoto to listen to Ling tosite sigure and choose us."
The closing theme song, Kioku (Memory), evokes a totally different feeling. I never dreamed that I would sing the closing theme song of a Netflix anime, so I was thrilled when I was chosen! said the 17-year-old singer-songwriter, who goes by ao. I wrote this song while reflecting on the transient nature of a person's desires against the backdrop of ancient Kyoto.
Director Soubi Yamamoto (CoMix Wave Films) is renowned for her early success with the film This Boy Can Fight Aliens and her continued achievements in the industry. Joining her are accomplished screenwriters Natsu Hashimoto and Yuiko Kato, who have contributed to various successful anime and drama series. This series not only preserves the original novels settings but also introduces all-new stories as Seimei and Hiromasa battle to restore peace to the capital.
Slay demons with Onmyoji' only on Netflix on November 28.
