Good graphics, but sometimes lazy detailed. History is fine, but predictable and simple, characters really comuns, even the final is totally cliche. Fights and animation are more of the same, and power progression is expected. Also conflict are very repetitive for this type of story.
There is nothing wrong with the design (despite for those who didn't get used to this style), no big mistake at the text or character development, and all, but lack a soul. I missed something original, exciting, involving, I missed anything.
It's so generic, that despite the gauntlet, could be about any samurai story and without it you would not even recognized it as onimusha. Actually, the title is the closest connection to the game.
I really got a feeling that the serie was written to avoid making mistakes or tarnishing the game's legacy, and this lack of auspice actually impacts the experience, making it irrelevant.
It's like a old movie of the 80s or 90s that you already watched several times, but without the nostalgia.
