The Hakkenden: Legend of the Dog Warriors
Overview
During the war-torn feudal wars of Japan, the Awa clan faced certain extinction from a rival clan backed by demonic forces.

Their unnatural union bears fruit, but when they are both killed, the eight unborn pups are reincarnated as the eight Dog Warriors - the Hakkenden.
