If you are interested in learning more about Japanese folklore, then this series could be for you. Ayakashi is an anthology series of three stories occurring during feudal Japan that involve encounters with the supernatural. Each story appears to have been tackled by different staff teams at Toei which explains the varying differences in story direction and visual style. So rather than review the series as a whole, I'll be tackling my thoughts of each of the different stories in this anthology.||||||||

I've completed 4 episodes so far, and have been very very impressed. I love the fact that it's seeped in Japanese lore and history (ergo, the bunch of pdf files that come with the fansubs), and while the story seems to initially jerk along, there were several times that I was left, mouth gaping. The music is actually unexpected. The opening theme is awesome and reminds one of the theme to Gantz. (Ok, ok...so I haven't checked to see if it's the same group or not...lol)
Overall, I'm giving it a good solid Buy.
Go get it. We'll wait here for you. XD

I have only been able to see two episodes, but I am very impressed so far.
