Ayakashi

Overall score: 7
Bad side: since the arcs were all done by different people then the animation style and the animation itself weren't always what you'd hope them to be.
Good side:
  • the stories had nothing to do with each other so every time you had the nice feeling of anticipation because you had no idea what's going to happen.
  • They different styles were rather refreshing
  • The opening song is bloody addictive and the opening was redrawn for each arc so that all-an-all it would be the same but the elements in it would be ones that had something to do with the current arc.
Advice: Skip the Goddess in the Dark Tower and just go for the other two. Also get yourself the opening song and go insane happily. Although the Bake Neko arc does lose to the actual Mononoke it is still nice, even though you can feel that they hadn't really gotten to grips with the style.
