The Katsugeki Touken Ranbu anime movie has received its second teaser visual. The first was released back in December 2021.

Despite the year-long gap between the two visuals, the new visual still comes with the statement that the anime is in the planning stage.

The Katsugeki Touken Ranbu movie is preceded by a 2017 TV series based on theTouken Ranbu sword-raising simulation game, which was first launched for PC in 2015. Ufotable produced the show with Toshiyuki Shirai (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba episode director et al.) as director. Touko Uchimura, Moe Tsuzugi, Miyuki Ishizuka, Rio Niisato, Yuka Shiojima, Miki Yamazaki, Kayo Onizawa, and Yukako Serai handled the character designs.

Crunchyroll describes the series as:

The year is 1863, Japan is split between the pro-shogunate and anti-shogunate factions. In this chaotic time, the era of the swords is coming to a close. Horikawa Kunihiro has manifested as a Sword Warrior and is joined by Izuminokami Kanesada, a warrior who served under the same master as him. Sword Warriors are “Tsukumogami”, spirits and willpower that reside within a sword. These spirits are awakened by Saniwa to protect the world from the “Time Retrograde Army,” who were sent by historical revisionists from the future to alter history.
