Incredible Animation But Still Leaves A Lot To Be Desired
The series starts in the feudal times of Japan when strange supernatural creatures from another plane of existence called Youi start to cause havoc for the imperial politicians, and so choose to hire Ayashi(Supernatural fighters) to destroy these mysterious Youi. This group also decide to bring into the group a vagabond vagrant by the name of Ryuudou Yukiatsu a former samurai now just living his days trying to make a living any way he can, they find out that he can use the power of Ayagami(The power to find the words behind things) to destroy the elusive YOUI. The series animation is great so kudos on that part and it's interesting storyline with the supernatural YOUI, but for most everything else about this first part set left a great deal of desire. The thing for myself was my cardinal rule to empathize with the characters of the series, if you can't do that trying to watch the episodes just is not only annoying but in the end frustrating as you just don't care what happens to...
glad I bought it
I took a chance on this anime due to my lack of knowledge on this series and small amount of reviews. I bought this box set, which I believe will house parts 2 and 3 (then they arrive...already ordered them!) I wasn't sure what to expect but this anime is good so far. I'm on episode 5 but already enjoying it. In my opinion, I didn't quite get the description until I started watching it and looking forward to watching the rest. Interesting concept of using the power behind a word. Ayashi has the ability to bring the word to life, so to speak, and it become a weapon to defeat the youi. Not a lot of blood and guts so far but half naked men in the bathhouse of the 1st episode (don't get your hopes up... they were old lazy men).So far I haven't heard bad language.
Pretty good show
Got this for $2.19, using a gift card I earned free here: swagbucks.com/refer/Animallady1234.
This set comes two DVDs, volumes 1 and 2, volume 1 of the manga and a guide book. The anime and manga are a little different, but both are still good. It should come with instructions on how to open it though. Took me a few minutes to figure it out, almost ripping the top off. The easiest way to open it is to hold both the top and base at the same time, sliding them apart. But make sure it's upright when you do, or the DVDs and books will fall out.
