The BEST, most ARTISTIC, 'ANIME' EVER!

I wrote a review for the pilot (Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales), which leads into THIS SHOW. It's SO different, thought and emotion-provoking, and artistically (and plot-wise) so beautiful. Everyone I've spread the news about this to, has gotten it and LOVED IT. Remember to find the 'Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales' (last of the 3 stories) which luckily, is on a disc by itself. The pilot there, lead into THIS BEAUTIFUL show. Unique and amazing; you WON'T be sorry you purchased them!Read full review...

just beautiful

this series is absolutely beautiful, even without taking into account the fascinating subject matter. the animation is done in a similar style to Gankotsuou, a feverish mashup of colours and textures laid under linework based on ukiyo-e woodcuts. the stories themselves are really interesting because, as they are based in Japanese folktales and mythology, there is less Western cultural influence than you usually see in anime. it makes for an almost otherworldly air to the series even without the magical realism of the world presented.

if you like this series, definitely check out the anthology that it expanded from, Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Stories, as the Mononoke segment, Bakeneko, is a fantastic bookend to the series.Read full review...

I Love this anime!

I have loved this anime for some time now. I really want the new English dub, however I had to have this one because I adore Takahiro Sakurai's voice.

Beautiful, beautiful anime.

One of the most artistically eccentric shows out there. Beautiful scenes and a very mysterious story. Probably the most underrated anime series I've been lucky enough to be introduced to. I DON'T regret it one bit. It's outright addicting to sift through all of the symbolic messages and authentic themes within.

Buy it. It's definitely worth it.Read full review...
