Four years ago, I came across an anime called Shounen Onmyouji, and watched it for hours on end.

For those who dont know, its about a young boy in Heian era Japan who can see spirits and must fight off monsters to protect his home city and the people he loves.

I moved on from it, and focused on other interests instead, until about two weeks ago, when the animes opening song popped into my head.

It brought back memories of the anime from four years ago, and I decided to revisit it.

That was one of the best decisions Ive made this past month, because I absolutely love it When I finished the anime, I turned to the fandom for more Shounen Onmyouji content, but the fandom itself seems so small, particularly when compared to other franchises I love, Theres also a manga, a light novel which the anime and manga are based on, a video game for the Playstation 2 that appears to be Japan exclusive, and a musical, but I wasnt able to find most of them, besides some screenshots of the game and fan translations of chapters 9-10 of the light novel.

Heres a link to the fan translations: The anime adapts chapters 1-8 of the light novel, so you can watch the anime first and then read the fan translations without getting lost.

I just think Shounen Onmyouji deserves a bit more appreciation, so Im talking about it here in the hopes of getting people interested.

If you like mythology, Japanese culture, andor historical fantasy, then I highly recommend Shounen Onmyouji.

You can buy the dvd on Mercari, and you can find both the sub and the dub of the anime on Youtube.

Like, Seimei - sorry - Qingmings eboshi hat is all fancy and embroidered and Im just like - Im pretty sure they werent embroidered in silver, but hey.

On top of that you have Boya, who looks straight up futuristic in his leather-outfit and spring-bow.

I think hes supposed to be the equivalent to Hiromasa, but there isnt much left of him as I know him from the old movies and the manga, other than his flute and his indignation.

Boya is much more overtly hostile, but then, Qingming is also a good bit younger than the Seimei of the mangamovies and a good deal more serious.

I very much enjoyed the reference to his fox-spirit mother though and the relationship with his master was very sweet.

Qingmings spirit servants were straight out of the Shounen onmyoji anime it seemed and thats not a bad approach to them in an action-heavy movie in my opinion.

I loved the visuals and it was fun to see the story interpreted through different cultural eyes.

They must re-live a case weve actually seen in animemanga, but they dont know another person is also trapped in their body.

They have to finish the dream faithfully trying to act as each other, but as the dream goes on, they realize somethings just a little off and they start to wonder.
