Onimusha Series
Onimusha (鬼武者?, literally "Demon Warrior") is a series of video games by developer Capcom. The series makes use of the historic figures that shaped Japan's history, retelling their stories with supernatural elements. Most of the games are of the action-adventure game genre, a combination of third person combat and puzzle solving, where the protagonist wields the power of the Oni, enabling them to fight the Genma, the main enemy of the series.
Onimusha is Capcom's 6th biggest franchise, behind the Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Mega Man, Monster Hunter, and Devil May Cry series. The series has sold at least 7.9 million copies to date. A full-length full-CG film for Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams has been made as well, with the alternate title of "Shin Onimusha".
In March 9, 2012, Capcom announced a browser-based game Onimusha Soul, expected to launch in Japan on June 28, 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each of these works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken; that act or step is the spiritual act; all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
