Hooray, we’ve finally reached the conclusion of this third segment and the very last episode of Ayakashi. I felt that it truly did live up to it’s hype, but as with all things that I enjoy I didn’t particularly want to see it end. I would’ve loved to have seen more of the [...]

I’m not sure if this story is supposed to be comical, but I found the characters’ overdramatic reactions to the mysterious occurrences absolutely hilarious. Their bizarre mannerisms as well as their expressions are completely off the wall, but I think it’s more entertaining watching that than a bunch of characters that are completely boring [...]

We’ve finally reached the third and most anticipated arc of this series. I’ve been looking forward to watching this because of all the positive feedback I’ve heard about it, and I want to see for myself whether it’ll live up to its positive reviews. Even watching the first few minutes I could tell [...]

A new period drama anime called Ayakashi Ayashi is set to premiere this October on MBS/TBS. The show is a group effort from Aniplex, BONES, and MBS. Apparently, they are thinking pretty high of the show as they're giving it the old Gundam Seed/Fullmetal Alchemist timeslot. The official site for the series is already pre-opened, [...]

To be honest, this arc absolutely sucked. Don’t even bother watching it if you haven’t yet already because it really isn’t worth your time. It’s been a day or two since I watched the final episode, and I hardly remember anything from it. It isn’t that I have a short memory (okay, [...]

If you’re wondering why I’ve been exclusively blogging Ayakashi lately, I have a simple explanation for this – I am simply aiming to finish what I started. Too many times I’ve procrastinated on completing a series only to find that it’s too late to continue or I lose interest in it altogether, and I [...]

Not surprisingly, he uses this as an excuse to visit his beloved princess again in hopes of receiving more than just a kiss. His lover suspects that his desire to visit the castle [...]

After watching the dramatic conclusion of Yotsuya Kaidan, I really didn’t know what to expect from the second arc of the series. Fortunately, this isn’t your typical ghost story and instead it focuses on a tale of forbidden love between a human and goddess. It sounds rather hokey and silly, but it has [...]

I didn’t think that I would be spooked by this story, but this episode truly did its job of scaring its target audience. I couldn’t even bare to watch the last few minutes of it because it truly scared the crap out of me! If you’re wondering what makes it so scary, it [...]

Some people may find this show rather slow and boring, but I think it’s one of the better shows around because it offers a brilliant storyline filled with betrayal and human suffering, not to mention an interesting cast of characters. Another big part of what makes the show so amazing is the eerie background [...]

First of all, I must really thank gg for their excellent translations as well as their .pdf files which really helped to explain some of the elements that may have been confusing for those of us unfamiliar with Japanese customs and folklore. I still managed to find the first episode somewhat confusing even with [...]

I’m always up for a good ghost story, so I couldn’t pass up this opportunity to watch this show. I’ve read from reading forums that it’s really scary, so I figured that I should find out for myself to see whether the hype is really true. I might regret it later on when [...]
