This popular game series adaptation will start airing in April 2010. It is directed by Osamu Yamasaki, character design by Atsuko Nakajima and the animation production is... Studio DEEN.

Summary:
According to MAL - At the end of the Edo’s era, the story begins 3 years after the Bunkyuu era (1861.2.19 – 1864-2.20).

The protagonist, Yukimura Chizuru is the daughter of a doctor who works in Edo. The father leaves Edo to work as a volunteer doctor and moves to Kyoto without his daughter. As time passes by, Chizuru starts worrying about losing contact with her father, so she decides to go to Kyoto in search of him. On the way, Chizuru is attacked by few criminals and witnesses a fight between an oni and the Shinsengumi. Taking her into custody and saving her, the Shinsengumi debate on what to do with Chizuru when they discover that she is the daughter of the doctor they are also looking for. So they decide to become Chizuru’s protectors and help her look for her father(the doctor). Lots of events happen while she stays with the Shingensumi, as they discover mysterious secrets and also fight against the Bakumatsu group. The story is overall romantic with a historical and political background.

Will add as they become available.

Thoughts?
Luna: I'm not familiar with the game at all. Even if I was, I'm not too fond of video game adaptation. I might skip this completely since there are too many anime scheduled for Spring, unless it can change my opinion by then.
