The 2018 anime adaptation of Hakyū Hōshin Engi is now available to stream on Crunchyroll, complete with an English dub. The series follows Taikobo, a young man tasked with hunting down powerful immortals after his clan is decimated by a demon. Trained by a demon himself, Taikobo must navigate a world of shifting loyalties and ancient conflicts.
Produced by Studio C-Station, the anime adapts the classic Houshin Engi manga, a foundational work in the shonen genre that draws heavily from Chinese mythology. While the series tackles grand themes of good versus evil and the nature of power, its narrative can feel dense, covering a significant amount of plot in its 23 episodes.
Fans looking for a completed fantasy action series with a unique mythological backdrop will find plenty to engage with. The availability of the full series allows viewers to experience Taikobo's journey from beginning to end without interruption.
