Where it came from
Onihei, released in 2017 by Studio M2, serves as an animated adaptation of the renowned jidaigeki novel series Onihei Hankacho, originally written by Shotaro Ikenami. The project was conceived to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the debut of the original literary series, aiming to capture the atmospheric, grounded nature of the Edo-period criminal investigations that made the source material a classic of Japanese historical fiction.
The series was directed by Shigeyuki Miya, who sought to maintain a mature, gritty aesthetic that distinguished the work from more contemporary, stylized anime trends. The character designs were overseen by Tetsuro Satomi, who worked to balance the traditional sensibility of the novels with a visual language suitable for modern television. Upon its release, the series was noted for its faithfulness to the tone of Ikenami's writing and its emphasis on human drama over sensationalism.
