Tougen Anki Anime: Everything You Need to Know
As mentioned earlier, REMOW announced that the anime adaptation of Tougen Anki has been green-lit. The highly anticipated anime adaptation is expected to be released in 2025. However, no exact release date has been made public as of the time of writing this article.

According to the press release by Remow, the series is described as follows:
“You inherit the blood of an Oni (demon)…”
The bloodlines of “Oni” and “Momotaro” have been passed down among certain humans for generations. Long ago, the Oni, aware of their own ferocity, lived in seclusion. However, their peace was shattered by an invasion led by Momotaro. Over thousands of years, these two factions formed the “Momotaro Agency” and the “Oni Agency,” respectively, and have been locked in conflict ever since.
The protagonist, Shiki Ichinose, suddenly learns of his Oni lineage following an unexpected attack by Momotaro. This revelation sets Shiki on a path to discover the destiny that lies within his blood — a meeting with the Oni dwelling within him.
— A new generation of dark heroics begins here in this tale of demons!”
