To combat monstrous, gigantic swarms delivering death and misery to a frightened population, Edo-period Shogun rulers assemble a cadre of superhuman warriors known as the Insect Magistrate Office.

But first he’ll have to prove his worth if he’s to join the fight to save humanity from the brutal onslaught.
Mushibugyo is directed by Takayuki Hamana (Erin, Library Wars, Arte) and animated by Seven Arcs Pictures (Trinity Seven, Bermuda Triangle ~ Colorful Pastorale, Vivid Strike!). Yoshimitsu Yamashita (Blade of the Immortal, Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom, Samurai Flamenco) provides the series’ character design while Yoichi Kato (Aikatsu!, Yokai Watch, SCARLET NEXUS) provides series’ composition.
