Eleven years before the resurrection of Orochi, the demon serpent that awakes every 300 years, there were those who aimed to protect the country behind the curtains of history. They are the Yamainu, the unit formed solely to contain Orochi. In that unit instructed by Kumou family head Taiko, its members include Tenka and his sworn friends Sousei Abeno, Kiiko Sasaki, and others. However, as a result of a certain incident, Tenka parted ways with the other Yamainu who held the same ambitions. There was something that could not be protected if he remained affiliated with the unit. In the twelfth year of the Meiji era, under the clear skies of Shiga where the serpent was destroyed, the Yamainu and the Kumou brothers discover Tenka's hidden feelings.

| They can manage better budgets and the time release is longer so they usually spend time improving. Releasing a movie could be in part better in terms of quality but in terms of marketing no. The investors need to wait until the release of the movie in order to start the merchandise promotion. In the TV series they usually release songs, merch, etc while it is airing. |
| Oh so it's gonna be movies instead, well can't wait and I guess we'll be seeing their parents? Is that who the new cast are? |

(Maybe they are, but we don't have solid data yet.) What we are seeing is studios diverting more of the resources they have to movie production as a consequence of what I and PipeBoss mentioned above. That's why production hours on movies have increased while production hours on television has been flat. |

| Wait, this show is getting a movie trilogy?! Can't wait! |
| Looks like the anime made profit lol. Didn't expect it with Japan's obsesion with lolis I hope we'll be able to watch the whole trilogy in the next 84 years |

| This was a solid series, so I am looking forward to this. I will probably have to wait a year after release to watch the first one so I guess I might as well forget about it for the time being. ani147 said: Looks like the anime made profit lol.
