The setting is the middle of the Muromachi Period, during the 1470s after the Wars of Onin and Bunmei. The story begins in the Noto Peninsula of the Hokuriku District. The main character (Hyakkimaru), who lacks as much as 48 body parts, obtains a fake body and eliminates 48 monsters that were made from his body to retrieve his missing body parts.


So far very little has been announced about this new adaptation other than MAPPA and Tezuka Productions will be behind the animating of this series, and that it will be an Amazon Prime Video exclusive. Fortunately though, the original manga did receive an anime adaptation back in 1969, although I have not watched it, or was even aware of it until now, it seems like something worth a watch.
Just to note though, the original is supposedly rather violent and sounds comparable to Shigurui, hopefully this adaptation won't disappoint on that front.
