Apart from the intro and outro sequences, there has been no anime about [[Oni]]. The anime directly mentioned by the game's developers as influences on Oni include [[Ghost in the Shell]] (project lead), [[Bubblegum Crisis]] (concept artist) and Neon Genesis Evangelion (design lead), and these are all very much worth watching. | Apart from the intro and outro sequences, there has been no anime about [[Oni]].

|'''Anime''' refers to the animation style originated in Japan. It is characterized by distinctive characters and backgrounds (hand-drawn or computer-generated) that visually set it apart from other forms of animation. Storylines may include a variety of fictional or historical characters, events, and settings. Anime is aimed at a broad range of audiences and consequently, a given series may have aspects of a range of genres.

'''Manga''' is Japanese for "''comics''" or "''whimsical images''". Manga developed from a mixture of [[wp:Ukiyo-e|ukiyo-e]] and Western styles of drawing, and took its current form shortly after World War II. Manga, apart from covers, is usually published in black and white (but it is common to find introductions to chapters to be in color) and is read from right to left. Financially, manga represented in 2005 a market of ¥24 billion in Japan and one of $180 million in the United States. Manga was the fastest growing segment of books in the United States in 2005. | '''Manga''' is Japanese for "''comics''" or "''whimsical images''".
