Japanese game developer FuRyu announced at AnimeJapan on Saturday that its Renai Bakumatsu Kareshi smartphone game is inspiring a television anime series titled Bakumatsu that will premiere this year.
While the original app focuses on romance, the anime will be a sci-fi action-adventure series.
The romance simulation game originally launched on iOS and Android on March 14, 2017.
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.
