Anime Ventilation 23 Fukigen na Mononokean

Ah all the summer 2016 anime are starting to wind down which is why my reviews are coming rapid fire even during the school year among much stress and sleep deprivation. {PS I wrote this on the airplane with 4 hours of sleep}

{Spoilers}

Fukigen na Mononokean is a really sweet anime. It might not look so with quirky yokai, but it really is full of heart warming stories and amiable characters. It revolves around Abeno, master of the Mononokean, and his employee Ashiya who can both see yokai. Abeno's past is never fully revealed but through the story we are able to get a better glimpse of how he is a sympathetic human being and not just a grumpy stick-in-the-mud. Ashiya was originally unable to see yokai, but after being possessed by Fuzzy he was able to see yokai. At first he only worked to pay off the debt he acquired when Abeno exorcised Fuzzy, but eventually he learned to love yokai too. All of their yokai adventures are super cute and show a variety of characters and encounters with yokai.

This anime was overall just a good time. It was entertaining, had a good plot, entertaining characters, nice visuals (I mean the whole underworld was so beautiful and such a contrast from the traditional general dark and dreary representation) and a decent OP and ED. Nothing more I could really ask for. I recommend you watch this if you've got some time and are looking for a supernatural type anime set in a slice of life high school setting.

Is Fuzzy not the cutest thing?

The underworld is so beautiful

For some reason I find this eel to be super cute
