FuRyu began streaming a 30-second commercial for Bakumatsu, the television anime of its Renai Bakumatsu Kareshi smartphone game, on Sunday.
The heroine wears the watch and passes through a shrine’s torii gate, and she is transported to “another” Bakumatsu era 150 years ago during the final years of the Edo period.
In the original game’s story, the heroine is in Kyoto for sightseeing when she receives a mysterious pocket watch from a man.
While the original app focuses on romance, the anime will be a sci-fi action-adventure series.
