Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: Nearly everyone in the Bakeneko arc.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: Both the opening ("Heat Island") and ending ("Memory of Spring") themes are awesome, and the latter also manages to be heart-rendingly beautiful.
  • Gainax Ending: Yotsuya Kaidan.
  • Mind Screw: Just what was the deal with Nanboku, the live action sequence, and Oiwa's curse (Yotsuya Kaidan)?
  • Tear Jerker: The stinger for the Bakeneko arc. After the credits are done and the Medicine Seller goes on his way, just when you think you're done crying, you see Tamaki and her kitten walking out of the house, finally together and free, laughing and mewing happily. And then you cry all over again.
