Onmyo-Kaiten Re: Verse, an original action anime produced by David Production, is coming this July. A trailer and visual have been released. Hideya Takahashi (Urusei Yatsura remake and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind co-director) is the show’s director and is also credited with the drafts.
The Onmyo-Kaiten Re: Verse cast includes Kimura Taihi as Takeru Narihira, Maaya Uchida as Tsukimiya, and Ryohei Kimura as Abe no Seimei. The Onmyo-Kaiten Re: Verse anime’s announcement was preceded by the serialization of the manga version by Fujiko Sakano (who is credited as creator in the anime credits) in Kodansha’s Morning on February 6 JST.
The premise sees delinquent Takeru finding himself in a technologically advanced version of Heian-kyo (an old name for Kyoto) after an accident. There, the mysterious Tsukimiya, whom he has seen repeatedly in dreams, and other people perish at the hands of monsters called Oni. However, Takeru finds himself experiencing a time leap, and he uses this chance to train as an onmyouji under Abe no Seimei and avert Tsukimiya’s fate.
