Kakeru Miwa is an otherwise ordinary high school student, but a strange twist puts him on the front line in a supernatural battle against the menacing Oni. With the help of a fantastically powerful battle suit known as “Yoroi”, Kakeru joins an elite team that fights the monstrous Oni and defends humanity from otherworldly threats. The team is assigned to protect Oka Myojin, a shrine maiden who is prophesized to save the world, but she must perform a sacred ritual within Shikizakura, the horizon that connects the spiritual and physical world that lies somewhere amid the blooming cherry blossoms and the colorful autumn leaves. But in this world, the journey to destiny is hard-fought, winding and sometimes deadly.

Where it came from
Shikizakura was produced by the studio Sublimation, a company historically known for its expertise in 3D CGI animation within the anime industry, specifically for high-profile titles like the Evangelion rebuild films. The series was created to bridge the gap between traditional 2D hand-drawn aesthetics and the efficiency of modern computer-generated imagery, specifically focusing on the city of Nagoya. The project served as a significant milestone for Sublimation, marking a shift from being a supporting animation studio to taking the lead on an original television production.
The narrative design of the show centers on the fusion of regional identity and sci-fi action, utilizing the local cultural landscape of Aichi Prefecture to ground its fantasy elements. The artistic direction was heavily influenced by the goal of highlighting the natural beauty of the region, specifically the iconic cherry blossoms that give the show its name. Upon its release in 2021, the series was noted for its experimental visual style, receiving a mixed reception from audiences who engaged with its technical ambition while debating the aesthetic integration of its digital models against the background art.
