About Orient Part 2

Looking for background on Orient Part 2 (Orient: Awajishima Gekitou-hen)? This action, fantasy and shounen series by A.C.G.T. (2022) starts out like this. In short: After Musashi rescues Michiru Saruwatari from a demon, his companion Kojirou Kanemaki learns that his father was a member of the Uesugi clan. Determined to learn more about his own past, Kojirou—alongside his Kanemaki clansmen—decides to participate in Uesugi's punitive expedition against the demon lord of Awajima Island: Yamata no Orochi.

Also worth knowing: However, upon joining Uesugi's military alliance, Musashi faces the harsh reality of fighting against formidable demons. Humiliated by his lack of power and inability to work in groups, he has to learn how to cooperate with his newfound allies. Meanwhile, the Obsidian Eight—a group pursuing the Obsidian Goddess that dwells within Musashi's body—resumes its hunt for Musashi, and plans to thwart the ongoing island operation.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
