Sekiro: No Defeat anime announced

Sekiro (and anime) fans rejoice! An anime adaptation of Sekiro Shadows Die Twice was announced for Crunchyroll, and it looks amazing. How closely will they follow the story? Will iconic scenes and the world transfer well? My brain can’t even fathom the madness when Lord Isshin arrives on the screen. All aboard the hype train as we mikiri counter our way to immortality. I have various posts about Sekiro, but if you had to read one before catching Sekiro: No Defeat? See why I think Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is like Super Metroid. Check out the plot synopsis below and excuse me while I see when I can replay this masterpiece again.

Sekiro: No Defeat Plot

The time is Sengoku. Japan is fractured into many independent nations entangled in ceaseless war. At the center lies Ashina, a land of sacred earth and ancient mystery. Two decades after Sword Saint Isshin Ashina reclaimed the region in a brutal coup, a new threat emerges from within: The Interior Ministry. Desperate to protect his homeland, Isshin’s grandson Genichiro turns to forbidden powers. The only hope lies in a kidnapped boy — the Divine Heir — and his silent protector: a loyal shinobi known only as Sekiro. This is the story of a lord and his retainer — and their quest to restore balance to a nation on the edge.
