The action shonen series Orient, produced by Studio A.C.G.T., is now fully available on Crunchyroll with both English dub and subtitles. The 12-episode run adapts the manga of the same name, following Musashi and Kojiro as they fight monstrous demons in a fantasy version of Japan where samurai are an oppressed class.
The series centers on Musashi's ambition to form a powerful samurai group to reclaim their world from the demonic hordes. It delivers on its shonen premise with swordplay, magic, and a clear underdog protagonist aiming for greatness. Orient holds a 6.95 rating on MyAnimeList from over 20,000 voters.
A sequel OVA, Orient: Awajishima Gekitou-hen, aired in early 2023, continuing the narrative. With the first season now complete, viewers can binge the initial demon-slaying adventures.
