Synopsis (scrumptious blog):
The mysterious medicine seller in the 3rd arc of Ayakashi “Bakeneko†takes the lead role in this spin-off series, following his encounters with monsters from famous Japanese folkore as he uncovers its roots.
Because of too many awesome anime will be released this season, I think not many people notices this series. The art work is not really cool, and the pictures also are not interesting.
However, there are several factors that interests me in this anime. First, is the anime producer is toei animation, which is quite well known. Therefore, I would expect something extraordinary from this.
Second, is the story, which involving a mysterious medicine seller who hunts demons. This might be another series to be looked for. Lastly, as for the animation, I guess it is not possible that toei is disappointing us, they might have something in their sleeves. If the not, it does not means that bad animation is bad series right? For example Tokyo Majin, from last season, did not really a good animation, but that series was a huge success.
