Maneskin opening = W. No matter how good or bad this show will be, I'll be watching.

Maneskin? Seriously? While adapting the cult samurai action game series? I understand that this project is aimed at a global audience, but couldn't they have found a more authentic artist? For example, Wagaki Band or Onmyo-Za.

As someone who played Onimusha 1 & 2 on PS2 (I got to buy the remastered 1st game for my PS4/PS5), I'm excited by the trailer. I'm going to watch this on Netflix when it comes out in Nov.

I wish Netflix wouldn't rely on CGI, but this actually looks promising. Hopefully, quality wise, this is less Dragon's Dogma and more Tekken.
