Touken Ranbu was originally just a free-to-play collectible game developed by Nitroplus and DMM Games. However, the franchise soon had its own stage play, live-action movie, and anime adaptations. Now, for the first time, the franchise will be releasing an anime that is based on one of the stage plays.
