 Chinese game developer NetEase announced a television anime based on its fantasy role-playing game Onmyouji on Thursday. Titled Onmyou Hyakki Monogatari, the anime series is scheduled to premiere in 2020. The announcement is commemorating the game's third anniversary.Synopsis In a time when demons and humans coexisted... Evil spirits from the underworld have begun a quest for power, strength, and dominance. The balance between the two worlds is now in jeopardy. Fortunately, there's a group of gifted humans who can read the stars and draw amulets. They have the power to connect the two worlds, and even tame the spirits. They are willing to lay everything on the line to maintain peace and order between the two worlds. They are known as Onmyouji.

| Rie Kugimiya is destined to voice characters named Kagura, I see. Btw, still waiting for Honkai Impact adaptation... |
 |
| cool, my kind of gem :D demons, moe characters and maybe romance. |
| My brain immediately thought this was a isekai-ing into a mobile game when I read the title lol |
 |
| It's the age of mobage anime adaption. If you can create anime to advertise manga/light novel, no reason you can't do the same for mobage. |
| Oh yeah I used to play this game, hopefully it will get a proper anime adaptation |
| Oh, my! YES! Can't wait! But if they don't bring my favorite shikigami I gonna be... sad. Short series/episodes are cool! Wonder how they gonna deal with TV series :) |
| I'll give at least the anime a try. The whole cast of this game in general consists of every A and possibly B talent around like just think of someone and they are probably there, with some digging around I found that Yui Ogura voices on of the characters in the game. |

| Looks actually pretty decent! Can’t wait :) |
 |
| Do smartphone games ever make for great anime? Asking for a friend. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| This is exciting! I haven't played the game in a while. |
| 眠れないのは君のせい |
| Who played the game, what does it look like? I heard that the franchise is popular among fujoshi, but that doesn't look like all-male work. |
 |
| Ugly males!! No thx I pass!!Next time try cute girls and I will watch! |
 |
| I doubt the story would be anything masterpiece but I am in for some kickass action from YotoHime. |

| Ok, all the famous chinese mobile games are getting anime. So, Honkai Impact 3 when? |
~ May all the beauty be blessed ~ |
