posted on by Egan Loo
An anime adaptation of Idea Factory's Hakuōki Shinsengumi Kitan romance adventure game was reportedly announced at the end of the first Otomate Party 2009 event in Tokyo on Sunday. (Otomate is Idea Factory's brand aimed at female players.) The story of the 2008 Sony PlayStation 2 game centers around a female protagonist and the historical Shinsengumi samurai group in Kyoto during the 19th century. Sunday's announcement did not provide further details such as the anime's release format.
