Western Animation: Shrine Esper

Espers are superhumans that practice Onmyodo and are usually Kannushi or Mikos. Most of them have moved away from Earth, set off to find better land, but one of them was given the responsibility to defend the Earth from evil spirits, the female Kannushi, Yoshiko Gobosei. She guards the Hokura Hachiman-gu Shrine, with the assistance of her servant, Isamu Ofuda. Together, they must protect the Earth from evil Kami.
