ORIENT

ORIENT is a TV anime adaptation of the manga by Ohtaka Shinobu, blending action, adventure, fantasy, and comedy into an electrifying coming-of-age story. Follow Musashi and his sworn friend Kojirou Kanemaki as they forge their own path and rise against overwhelming odds in a richly imagined world. Produced by A.C.G.T. under the direction of Tetsuya Yanagisawa, with series composition by Hidefumi Kimura, the series faithfully captures the pulse-pounding spirit of its source material. A must-watch for fans of high-energy shonen adventure and the original manga alike.

In a world that has languished under demonic rule for over a century and a half, most people have long since made their peace with powerlessness. Musashi and his childhood friend Kojirou Kanemaki once dreamed of becoming the mightiest warriors alive, fired up by stories of brave fighters who stood against the forces of evil. But growing up has a way of dimming old ambitions. Musashi has found an unexpected talent for swinging a pickaxe, and a quiet life of labor seems to be his most realistic future. Still, no matter how hard he tries to look away, the suffering around him refuses to stay invisible. Something stirs beneath the surface—a sense of duty that won't let him rest.
