The anime they are working on at Sublimation Studios is being directed by Shinya Sugai. Hideyuki Kurata and Koji Endo are composing the music, while Shochiko is credited for historical supervision. Keiji Tsuji is responsible for stunt coordination and Kim Jung Gi is credited for character designs, except for Miyamoto Musashi, whose design is credited to Manilyn Toledana. Takashi Miike is the supervising director for the series.

The series will take inspiration from the late renowned actor Toshiro Mifune, known for his roles in Rashomon and Seven Samurai, for the character Miyamoto Musashi. CAPCOM's original game series has previously influenced the creation of the Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams film in 2006. The film combines CG-animated footage from the video game with additional scenes.
