    Released in Japan in 2002 by Enterbrain, Kidou Shinsengumi Moeyo Ken had some big names behind it - Hiroi Ouji, who created Sakura Taisen, and Takahashi Rumiko, known for internationally-known hits like Ranma 1/2 and InuYasha, did the character designs.  The other big name, of course, is the Shinsengumi!
    Set in an alternate Meiji-era world where humans and demons (youkai) live together, the daughters of the original Shinsengumi have formed Kidou Shinsengumi, Inc.  They keep the peace by going after unlicensed youkai who could cause trouble.  Kondou Yuko, Hijikata Toshie, and Okita Kaoru are led by  Oryou, whose son, Sakamoto  Ryunosuke, has returned to town with his companion youkai, Nekomaru.  However, a group led by Saotome Miki wants to stand up for the rights of youkai but her intention is really to get them on her side so that she can rule Japan!  All of that and they have to keep the money coming in... building fantastic inventions to help them with their work isn't cheap!  Defending Kyoto and paying back their debt will keep this new generation of the Shinsengumi busy!
    Unfortunately, the PS2 game is not available in the US.  It can be purchased from sites like Amazon Japan but you will need a specially-equipped Playstation system.  The game is part adventure (fighting) and part RPG, so unlike some pure fighting games some knowledge of Japanese is needed.
    In 2003 an OAV series was made, and was later released in the US by ADV Films.  The summer of 2005 saw a 13-episode series released in Japan.
