An official site has opened for a TV anime adaptation of the MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) Onigiri. The series is scheduled to air from April 2016 on the Tokyo MX and BS Fuji television networks. An initial key visual design has also been revealed.

Onigiri is developed by CyberStep and was launched for the PC in Japan in December 2013. It began service in North America in July 2014. Console editions were released on the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 in October 2015. It is set in a fantasy land resembling ancient Japan where humans coexist with demons (oni) and spiritual monsters (youkai). Players battle against god eaters (kamigui) who rampage through the land.

Oni....youkai....all girls....Touhou in disguise?

I just hope there would be at least a male main/side character on it.

It's supposed to be a pun of rice balls, but the kanji for this title is 鬼斬, which means beheading a demon.

Lets see what we've got here.. Demons, Youkai, God eaters, lolis and possibly rice balls ventures. Good lord, that sounds epic!

I hope and don't hope at the same time: I hope because it won't automatically be considered "Yuri" or won't have automatically assume it'll have lesbian undertones to some degree. I hope it won't because(so many reasons. Where do I begin to complain)1. Automatically a "Harem". 2. MC will most likely get his power from said Harem. 3. Worse: He'll be another Gary Stu(whatever that means). 4. Unoriginal. 5. He'll posses traits every other Harem MC lead has(stupidity, dense, etc). There are more but these are the top 5 why I don't want a male character here.

I'm a fan, but the game is a glitched disaster. I've discovered nearly 100 glitches. No matter what, this adaption will be better than source.

Make an otaku game into an anime. What do you get?
Presumably a steaming pile.
I can't imagine this ending up any good.

When I read the title of this article, I thought it was about ANOTHER anime related to being stuck in an MMORPG..........I guess I was extremely mistaken. That Engrish though........still better than Tomokazu Seki's Engrish in the Psycho Pass movie.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

It's almost amazing how they are still trying after so many anime failures based on MMO. Maybe it won't be too bad to be an eye candy but I wouldn't count on that.

It's gonna be another Queen's Blade-esque thing like Blade & Soul was.
Only girls cast who are meant to be super martial artists and are half naked.
What could possibly go wrong?

I hope this fails and Cyberstep gets shut down. I hate them and they hate me. They GM's are terrible they only name themselves after food. They don't know anything + they conspire against the players.

Woah, this is such a good news. I've been playing this game since the alpha test and now, the game is like losing it's player base. I hope this could encourage anime fans to play the game.

Until the disappointment settles in due to Fanservice that's only in the Anime Version, or the fact that the story will suck like most Anime based on MMORPGS or games.
