Synopsis
"Protect this country from behind the curtains of history." In those days, we were dreaming seriously.
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.

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
It will probably take something around 112 years. 84 is underestimating it.

So a trilogy is the new trending way to milk a cash cow ?
Wait... for this series, how can Donten be considered as milking? There wasn't that much content from this series for like almost or maybe 3 years. .-.

and you also reported (or other MAL news moderator) that anime movies are becoming more profitable for the anime industry too and it shows on that AJA report if i remember right
It's not that movies are necessarily becoming profitable. (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.
i have googled this more and found this

A movie's production schedule is usually better for a studio. It's a more manageable chaos than the rush in a TV series production.
