Rating: Enjoyable
In an era where monsters attack and devastate the human civilization a special group is formed to counter these demons. Those who fight against the monsters (Yoi/Youi) are part of the Bansha Aratemsho. Within this secret organization the group who directly fight and banish the monsters are the Ayakashi. Ryuudou Yukiatsu is a “floater,” these floaters make up the poor part of society and are forced to live in the slums. However this particular floater has the power Ayagami. Yukiatsu is able to “find words behind thins” and by doing so he is able to create weapons that are able to defeat the monsters. Although unwillingly at first Yukiatsu joins the Ayakashi and assists them in their quest with protecting the society they live in.
There are things that you want to watch and once you start you cant stop. This ain’t one of them. Ayakashi is not a bad series however it isn’t able to draw as much attention as other serials like Kenshin. It’s nice to see the word and meaning concept as Japanese Kanji characters do look nice. However I find that despite the interesting fight scenes there isn’t much to expect from this series. This series hasn’t really grabbed my attention so I guess its worth a try for those who are running out of quality content to watch. You never know you might really enjoy this series however I wouldn’t get your hopes up.
