During a dark time in the Heian period, when evil forces threaten the kingdom, the emperor relies on the Onmyoji to keep the supernatural forces in line. But as political events become highly charged, friction within the order leads to betrayal. Now, Seimei (Mansai Nomura), a talented member of the clan, must face down his master, Doson (Hiroyuki Sanada), in the hopes of restoring peace to the kingdom.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Certainly there are dueling wizards, torchlight swordfights and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon effects. But the moments of action are interspersed with lengthy plot developments that are hard to follow.
– C.W. Nevius,

fresh:
Rarely solemn or dull, and Takita holds its disparate parts together fairly well.

fresh:
Crazier than a rat in a can, but certainly fun.

rotten:
For Americans, accustomed to more polished effects and far more violent action, Onmyoji is bound to appear tame and a tiny bit precious.
– Dave Kehr,

fresh:
The tone is loose and jokey enough to stave off heaviness.
