This year's ninth issue of Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine is revealing next Wednesday that the anime adaptation of Hiroshi Fukuda's Jōjū Senjin!! Mushibugyō action manga will air this spring. Seven Arcs Pictures ( Sekirei, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Dog Days ) is animating the series.

The Mushibugyō anime is the eighth and last of the titles in the Sunday Anime Project announcements this year. The action story is set in Edo-era Tokyo in the early 1700s. The eighth shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune creates a new magistrate unit — Mushib ugyō — to protect the people in the heart of the city. Each member is a specialist with unique fighting skills.
