In the Edo period, there was a shrine maiden called "Itsukihime" in the mountain village of Kadono. Jinta, a young man who acts as the shrine maiden's guardian despite being a stranger, encounters a mysterious demon who speaks of the far future in the forest where he went to defeat it. From Edo to the Heisei era, this huge Japanese fantasy series follows a demon man who travels through time while continuously questioning the meaning of wielding a sword.

The verdict
Season picksWorth a lookSpring 2025A cursed half-demon samurai's century-long quest to right his past wrongs and stop a demon queen he helped create, opened by an hour-long movie premiere. An impeccable blend of slick action, Shakespearean tragedy, immersive worldbuilding and effective horror that is pulse-pounding and thought-provoking. A must for Demon Slayer, Inuyasha or Dororo fans, cut only for a confusing time skip.
