In the year of Tenpō 14, Yoi, monsters from another world attack Edo. Those who fight against them are members of Bansha Aratemesho. In public, Bansha Aratemsho is known as an organization to study foreign books. In fact, they are a organization dedicated to destroying the Yoi. These warriors are called Ayakashi. They gather information of odd events in the country, and are sent to destroy Yoi who appear. They are generally very strange people. For example, a guy who has lost his memory, a girl who dresses like a man. They have special powers with which to beat the Yoi.

This is one of the series I've been waiting for, hopefully it'll turn out to be good.

[Apraxhren]

It is spelt Tenpō and anidb already has been corrected. Tenpō 14 would equate to 1843 in our calendar if anyone cares.

Glad to see this show get subbed, it seems like it will be another popular series.

I liked the first episode it was good the last part was nice with them seeing another world and Yukiatsu using the Ayagami power against the Youi. I'll keep watching this and see how it goes so far I like it.

[Kraco]

Looked certainly decent enough to keep watching. Not much was revealed of any bigger plot yet, though.

I think Hakuoro's voice actor was voicing the man from the mountains.

Episode 5 by Lunar
Episode 6 by Lunar

[Kraco]

They were interesting episodes with some particular facts, historical and present, revealed at last, like the identities and histories of the main character's friend and the foreigner girl.

I wish they would release the OP and ED singles. I like them both.

[rgrintz]

I'm sure no one cares but lunar is up to episode 10 in the series now.

[shinta|hikari]

This show is very good. Im not really sure why no one is watching it. Im watching the raws and I am up to episode 17 I think, and so far it has been worth watching. Has its cute and cool moments. Try it out, since its already up to episode 10 subbed.

[dark maginn]

i just caught up i thought it was alright i guess no ones watches

[Kraco]

I watch this. I just have not bothered to post the episode links because it seemed nobody else watched this... I guess that's a shared feeling then. This is an interesting series by its own right, though if I had to choose between the two historical Japanese series running now: Bakumatsu and this, I'd go with Bakumatsu. The plot in this one is somewhat irregular. With 10 episodes subbed so far, I can't see a bigger story at all. This is like some demon hunters' daily life show.

[shinta|hikari]

Yep, its not really a plot heavy story. Its more of a series of events just circling around a central theme, without really advancing the story much. Im up to ep 17 or 18 now and there is still no main plot to be seen. It has good story arcs though.

[rgrintz]

Well Lunar just made a bigg release, eps 11 - 15.

[?igma]

Im going to try it out, but it seems the torrents arent exactly fast..

[Kraco]

This is a mysterious series. I see in my earlier post, back then having watched only 10 episodes, I was complaining the lack of a more solid plot. Now I've watched twice that number of episodes, and while there's still no solid, continuing story, there's something else certainly. Some sort of a deeper intellectual undertone. Very hard to explain, but you don't get this kind of feeling all too often. I guess GitS and Ergo Proxy are two examples that quickly enter my mind. It's a combination of plentiful yet very weighed dialogue and careful scriptwriting that has little meaningless material.

Well, I'm not really saying there would be anything in common between this and GitS, for example, aside from that strange feeling that pretty much every word spoken can be put into a larger picture and is building the characters and the world they live in. Plus this series has a sharp mystical aspect as well, once again meaningful and not just some random mumbo jumbo. It's a mysterious series, alright.
