There are tons of things to look forward in the upcoming Hoshin Engi 2018 anime as the new details were revealed on November 1, 2017. Among these important details is the full title of the 2018 remake of Hoshin Engi (Soul Hunter) which is Hakyū Hōshin Engi anime.

The country is in shambles and evil spirits lurk everywhere. The Confederation of the Immortal Masters plan a bold mission: they send a young master wizard to hunt down the villains and evil warlocks in the devastated lands.
