Onmyoji Anime Now Available On Netflix

Onmyoji is now available on Netflix, with thirteen episodes of magic and divination available for subscribers.

Based on the novel of the same name by Baku Yumemakura, the anime tells to story of a human and demon duo solving mysteries related to the nature of their supernatural world.

Netflix has also said that the Onmyoji anime will include “all-new tales” on top of adapting material from the books.

Here’s the summary of the anime, as provided by Netflix:

Yearning, obsession, burning desire… When people’s uncontrollable emotions begin to overflow, that is when they become demons. In prosperous ancient Kyoto, court musician Minamoto Hiromasa, grandson of Emperor Daigo, visits the residence of the official onmyoji — the yin-yang diviners — in hopes of unraveling the mysteries of the demons that disturb the city.

While there, he is introduced to a man perfectly suited for untangling these enigmas: the great onmyoji Abe Seimei, a man cloaked in an otherworldly aura. Hiromasa is vexed by Seimei’s lack of interest in the mundane world and his reluctance to help, but the two of them confront the demons at the cause of the incidents. They eventually find the onmyoji Ashiya Doman, who lurks in the shadows of the demons.

Seimei and Hiromasa are joined by Hiromasa’s flute teacher Imperial Prince Atsumi, the emperor’s onmyoji Kamo Yasunori, and Lady Tsuyuko, who comes to accompany them as a result of a particular case. As their emotions intertwine like threads, will Seimei and Hiromasa be able to restore peace to the capital? The ordeal of these mismatched friends destined to share the same fate begins now.

Netflix has built up a strong catalogue of original anime, having also announced the release date of Studio MAPPA’s maboroshi just yesterday.
