With Sentai Filmworks set to release Hakuoki on September 25th for the first season, a bit more information about the show has come to light. With the show getting a bilingual release, we haven’t seen the cast listing yet, but the back of the package has surface and it’s indicated that the dub will be directed by Christopher Ayers. This certainly isn’t his first time out directing series as he’s previously handled several shows listed below and is also set for the upcoming Intrigue in the Bakumatsu – Irohanihoheto.
- Ef: A Fairy Tale of the Two.
- Magikano
- Nerima Daikon Brothers
- Night Raid 1931
- Planzet
- The Book of Bantorra
- The Wallflower (Eps.14-25)
- Xenosaga: The Animation
Plot concept: Disguised as a man, Chizuru Yukimura has come to Kyoto searching for her missing father, a doctor who developed a magical elixir that increases the drinker’s speed, strength and healing abilities. Instead of her father, however, she stumbles across a battle between the Shinsengumi and the Furies, evil vampire-like creatures of their own making. As things turn out, the Shinsengumi are also searching for her father. And when they discover who she is, they decide to take her into their custody for safe-keeping. But her sex is not the only secret Chizuru has, and as more and more Furies begin appearing in Kyoto and the situation becomes ever deadlier, the Shinsengumi may find that the Furies are the least of their problems!
