The Onmyouji is an anime adaptation of Baku Yumemakura's historical fantasy short stories and novels, it delves into the mystique of the Heian period, centering around the legendary onmyōji, Abe no Seimei.

Characters: Characters were kind of one-dimensional. There was no reason it was so shallow. We have no idea about any of the character's backgrounds or upbringing and that was a ...
