About HAKYU HOSHIN ENGI

Here is what HAKYU HOSHIN ENGI (覇穹 封神演義) is about, retold in plain terms: an adventure, fantasy and supernatural anime by C-Station (2018). The setup: A once thrived kingdom, Yin—now governed by an evil hermit, Dakki, and her party—is in a chaotic status with its people suffering Dakki’s oppressions. Seeing this, The Hermit Band took it seriously and planned a "Houshin Plan" which is assigned to an apprentice hermit, Taikoubou, who gathered partners, captured and sealed all evil hermits, and planned to establish a new realm.

Soon after, on the other hand, the strongest and a Yin- royal hermit, Bunchuu, stood up against Taikoubou to protect the old kingdom with all his might. Thus, the death battle among invincible hermits starts...

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Taikoubou (Kenshou Ono) and Suupuushan (Takahiro Sakurai) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling, put it on your list. With 23 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
