David Production, the well-known anime studio behind anime like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure and Fire Force, has announced its first original TV anime, Onmyo-Kaiten Re:Birth, set to premiere in July 2025. Along with the announcement, the studio unveiled a teaser visual, first trailer, and details about the cast and staff.
The Story: A Sci-Fi Heian Battle
Onmyo-Kaiten Re:Birth is described as a high-octane isekai battle action series fusing elements of ancient Japanese mysticism with cyberpunk. The story follows Takeru Narihira, a lone-wolf high school delinquent who suddenly finds himself transported to an alternate version of Heian-era Kyoto, known as Denji Heian-kyo, a world where traditional Onmyodo magic coexists with advanced technology.
Takeru soon discovers that Tsukimiya, a mysterious girl who has appeared in his dreams countless times, actually exists in this world. However, their reunion is short-lived when monstrous creatures known as Onijin emerge from the shadows, taking both of their lives.
In an unexpected twist, Takeru wakes up again in Denji Heian-kyo, realizing he has time-looped back to the past. Determined to defy fate and protect Tsukimiya, he seeks out the legendary Onmyoji, Abe no Seimei, to train in Onmyodo and rewrite the course of history.
