In an online announcement released by DMM Game on Wednesday, it was revealed that the upcoming smartphone game Namuamida Butsu!: Rendai Utena will receive an anime adaptation scheduled for 2019. More information will be announced at a later date.

Synopsis
The pain that everyone cannot escape when living: the living, old, sick, and death. The way to save it is through Buddhist enlightenment. At the end of a war, a prince who obtained the Buddhist enlightenment became the Shaka Nyorai and saved the world. Long time has passed since that, currently the latter age of decadence. Mara, the worry that once tried to destroy Shaka's enlightenment, has made a contract with the devil in order to seek revenge against Shaka. He begins to control people with worries.

Meanwhile, a team centering around Shaka, called the Thirteen Buddhas, and the two benevolent deities who protect the dharma, Taishakuten and Bonten, have stood up to fight against Mara to protect people from worries. A battle between Mara and the Buddhist gods that involves people begins now!

I know I've seen them bishie Buddhas somewhere so this is like a renewed game?
I'm loving PV honestly plus that pretty anime chara design. I wanna see more.

Another Senjuushi heading our way.

At this point I'd rather have another Sengoku Night Blood.

More bishie material for me. :3

In all seriousness this seems... a bit lackluster to be honest. But I'll give it a shot.

Fine bishies, but I'm not expecting anything more from it.

I'm glad Mizunaka is getting another lead role, I've been enjoying his voice and acting in Isekai Maou so that's good, plus Tatsuhisa! The cast looks good, I just hope the show itself will be too.
