The warlord Nobunaga Oda attempted to bring the land under his control, but perished amidst the flames at Honnoji Temple thanks to the efforts the Onimusha Samanosuke and Jubei. Afiter Nobunaga's fall, his successor Hideyoshi Toyotomi, became the new ruler of Japan and all seemed peaceful. However, on June 29th, 1596 an eerie crimson star appeared in the skies over Japan. On that day, Hideyoshi underwent an evil transformation and the country was rocked by natural catastrophes. Hideyoshi's dark influence began to spread to foreign lands. He began a string of vicious acts including the capture of the Spanish vessel San Felipe and the execution of it's crew along with the banishment of all foreigners and the persecution of religion. At this time, the Genma mysteriously reappeared in the land, once again striking fear into the hearts of mankind. Hideyoshi began massing them for what he hoped would be the conquest of the world under the domination of a vast demonic army. Now it is 1598 and the latest chapter in the epic struggle between good and evil has begun...

Don't waste your money
The movie is just a collection of all the cutscenes from the game. I knew that before I bought it, but I read that there were new scenes created to make the story more cohesive. I was hoping for some added CG sequences along the lines of Final Fantasy: Advent Children, but there was nothing of the sort. I may be wrong, but I think the only thing they added was additional dialogue to help explain the story. I'm a big Onimusha fan. So I decided to blind buy this DVD. Terrible decision. One I'm hoping to save others from.

Still Good
Still good, but not quite the same experience as it is in the game. Basically, they took all the in-game cutscenes and meshed them together to form one long movie, with Akane narrating (in Japanese) the parts of the game that they skip over. As a result, it feels as though there's a lot of stuff missing from it. There's not a good sense of how the time passes, and there's not as much character development as there is in the game. Those who haven't played the game might be left with a feeling of "How in the world did they come to this conclusion?" Also, the voice-over narration sometimes covers up the cutscene dialogues to the point where you miss some of what they're saying.That said, as someone who has played through most of the game and thoroughly enjoyed it, I give this movie 4 stars. It's still good after all these years.

Garbage
I can see the same thing in the actual game. This product is a waste of resources.
