About Onmyoji

If you are hunting for a new mystery series, Onmyoji (陰陽師) deserves a look (2023). The setup goes like this. The premise: Yearning, obsession, burning desire… When people’s uncontrollable emotions begin to overflow, that is when they become demons.

Further in, in prosperous age-old Kyoto, court musician Minamoto Hiromasa, grandson of Emperor Daigo, visits the residence of the official onmyoji — the yin-yang diviners. While there, he is introduced to a man perfectly suited for untangling these enigmas: the great onmyoji Abe Seimei, a man cloaked in an otherworldly aura. Hiromasa is vexed by Seimei’s lack of interest in the mundane world and his reluctance to help, but the two of them confront the demons at the cause of the incidents.

As a mystery title, clues, misdirection and a satisfying reveal are the hook. Voice work is led by Daisuke Namikawa as Abe no Seimei and Shintarou Asanuma as Minamoto Hiramasa. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like piecing together a puzzle. The run is 13 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Marvy Jack is the studio behind Onmyoji, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Within the mystery category, clues, misdirection and a satisfying reveal are the hook. With a 6.6/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Daisuke Namikawa as Abe no Seimei, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2023, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
