Amazon Video UK streams Onihei this winter

Amazon Video might not be very good at promoting the anime titles that they add to their service, or even making them available to all of the relevant territories, but here in the UK at least we're consistently lucky enough to see them appear on their site at all.

In that vein, yesterday saw one of Amazon's anime simulcast offerings for the winter 2017 season arrive quietly, with the first episode of Onihei going live on the service.

Based on a historical novel series set in the late 1700s, here's the brief synopsis from Amazon themselves:

It’s the latter half of the Edo period when cruel thieves feared Heizo Hasegawa, known as “Heizo the Oni". He is the head of Arson Theft Control. He never tolerates injustice and punishes criminals who violate the three articles of a thief. Surrounded by quirky characters, Heizo rids the injustice that infests the city of Edo.

If you fancy checking out the series and have an Amazon Prime subscription, you'll be able to watch the show from this Amazon UK page.
