posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Ani-One Asia announced on Wednesday that it will stream Twin Engine's first original television anime Shine On! Bakumatsu Boys (Bucchigire!). Ani-One Asia will begin streaming the anime on Friday at 9:30 p.m. GMT +8.
The anime will premiere in Japan on Friday at 10:30 p.m. JST.
The story is set in the era when samurai rule Japan. However, the Shinsengumi police force has been all but wiped out by an unknown foe, save one survivor. Seven criminals have been chosen as substitutes for the Shinsengumi. To ensure law and order in Kyoto, a top-secret replacement operation is set in motion.
Tetsuo Hirakawa (Grimoire of Zero, YU-NO: A girl who chants love at the bound of this world.) is directing the anime at Geno Studio (Golden Kamuy, Genocidal Organ), and also overseeing the series scripts. Shaman King manga creator Hiroyuki Takei is drafting the original character designs, which Masafumi Yokota is adapting for animation.
Takanori Nishikawa performs the anime's opening theme song "Ichiban Hikare! -Bucchigire!-" (Shine the Brightest! Cleave Through), which is heard first in the video above. Jizō Sonzai name-less performs the anime's ending theme song "Danzai Democracy" (Judgement Democracy).
