myanimelist.net/anime/2243/Karasu_Tengu_Kabuto500 years ago in the Tensho Era of Japan, a man was born who defied the will of a demon; a man who had gods of good on his side; a man destined to battle evil....his name was Kabuto. Somehow, Kuroyasya Douki, the vile Black Night Demon, escaped his prison in hell and returned to the earthly plane to wreak vengeance on the family-line of Kabuto. None can escape his deadly magic and masterful skills with the blade; however, the gods of the North, West, East, and South band together to help Kabuto stand for Justice. With the questionable help of a diabolical talking sword that his own father forged, Kabuto may live another day to see his own sons born....
Just finished episode 1. It seems to be very straight forward but has a unique world and some really interesting aesthetic/design choices. As I'm a sucker for really hyperviolent anime with a strong sense of machismo, I'm glad to have stumbled into this - although the quality in which this is available in is a sad state. Too obscure to ever get rescued for a high definition re-release.
The anime I'm planning to finally watch next is Dai-Guard. I'll save that for March, since March is going to be March-Monsterverse-Madness with both a Godzilla vs Kong movie, Godzilla Singular Point anime, and Pacific Rim Black anime all coming out a few weeks apart.
