Bandai Namco Entertainment, Plott's project about tengu streams online for free
Tengu Tōsen (Tengu Demon Sword Fight), a short anime project jointly produced by Bandai Namco Entertainment and the IP company Plott , began streaming the first full episode for free on its official YouTube channel last Friday.
The concept of the project is "traditional fantasy battle x Japanese sword fighting," and it depicts the battles between evil-doing tengu (mythological Japanese demons often characterized with long noses and red faces) and the Tōbatsushi (literally, "sword penal officers") who slay them.
Akari Hinomiya is a boy who was raised on an island after being imbued with the spirit of Hajun, a heinous great demon who once threatened the world. He meets his eventual comrades, starts wielding a sword, and confronts an uncontrollable power within himself, all to confront his destined foe.
The project started with side story shorts, but the project's main story began streaming last Friday. Sōno is responsible for the project's original character designs.
