Netflix's Onimusha Anime Release Date, Cast Announced
Netflix has revealed the release date and voice cast for the new Onimusha anime.
Onimusha will be making its anime debut later this Fall, and Netflix is gearing up fans for what's to come with the announcement of the release date and voice cast for the new project! It was announced late last year that Netflix was going to be expanding Capcom's Onimusha video game franchise with a new anime with some surprising creators behind it all. Famed director Takashi Miike has been attached to this new project, and will be overseeing this new iteration of the stealth action video games. Thankfully, it won't be too long before we see it all in action.
Onimusha has now been announced to be released on Netflix on November 2nd, and has celebrated the newest update for its anime with a cool looking new trailer and poster. Together with these new reveals are the confirmation of the main staff and voice cast behind it all as the new Netflix series sets the stage for what's to come. It's being touted as a series, and is teased to be "full of realistic action in which Musashi's blade slices through evil as he traverses a land plagued by poverty."
