It is a battle action fantasy depicting a battle between monsters attacking the human world from another world and Onmyoji, but it is also a romantic comedy about a boy who once aspired to be an Onmyoji and a girl who is an Onmyoji, suddenly given the title of "Onmyoji of Twin Stars" and living as a couple to produce a "god child" that will bring an end to the battle. Directed by Tomohisa Taguchi of "Persona 4 the Golden," with Tatsuya Igarashi of "THE UNLIMITED Kyosuke Hyobu" as assistant director, Toshihisa Arakawa of "Kingdom" as series composition, Kikuko Sadakata of "Night Yatterman" as character design, and studio Pierrot as production company.

The broadcast start date has been set for April. It will be broadcast on the TV Tokyo network. Additional cast members have also been announced. Seigen Tenwaka, one of the Twelve Heavenly Generals (the 12 highest ranked Onmyoji) and Rokuro's master, will be played by Junichi Suwabe, and Mayura Otomi, a beautiful girl with big breasts who is Rokuro's childhood friend and has a faint crush on him, will be played by Yu Serizawa. Here are their comments.

In addition, it has been decided that the ending theme will be performed by Hitomi Kaji. Hitomi Kaji is a talented artist who won the grand prix in the artist category at Tokyo Girls Audition 2014, and her song this time will be called "Eyes," which describes the bond between the main character Rokuro and the heroine Benio. The opening theme song is "Valkyrie -Sen Otome-," a rock number by the Japanese instrumental band expressing the world of Onmyoji.

Suwabe Junichi
When I played the role in the audition, it felt very natural to me, so I am very happy to be entrusted with the role of Seigen. I am sure that fans of the original work already have an image of his voice, but I will do my best to enhance his charm in my own way. With the vigor of about a hundred spells of the costume! Thank you very much for your cooperation!

Yu Serizawa
I was very, very happy! I am so happy that I don't know how to put it into words even now! I was so happy and I still don't know how to put it into words! Now that I have been chosen to play the role, I want to get to know Mayura even better. I will do my best to make her a character that will be loved by everyone. Thank you very much for your support!

Yuko Suzuka, Wagakushi Band
This song has a fast-paced rock sound that reflects the world of Onmyoji. We tried to express a somewhat shadowy atmosphere and a positive attitude in the midst of it. We are very much looking forward to seeing how the song will expand when it overlaps with the animation. Collaboration of Japanese animation and Japanese sound. We hope that everyone will enjoy the unique world view of the Japanese instrumental band.

Hitomi Kaji
I wrote the lyrics for the ending theme with an awareness of the feelings behind the bond between the hero, "Rokuro," and the heroine, "Benio," in my own way. I would be happy if the message can be conveyed to the fans of "Onmyoji of Futaboshi" as well.
