Ayakashi is a collection of three Japanese legends and folklore, each one told in a stand-alone fashion and with different art styles. They may as well be completely different anime, but nay, it is all packaged together for your convenience! The first, a variation of the telling of the Yotsuya Kai Dan is very dark, befitting for such a tragic tale. It fills the 'horror' genre very well, with its manifestations of vengeful spirits, curses, and tense moments. It flows very well, with real story or character bumps along the way; all goes on as it should. For a historical piece, this one is very involved, and it would be good to have some in-depth Japanese cultural knowledge, or there will be some things you will miss that are important to the story, since Yotsuya Kai Dan makes excellent use of imagery, the mark of a truly good horror story. The seinen-esque style of this one will let you know this is a story that will not end well~ There is a small cast of characters here, but very involved, as no character that is introduced is disposable; they all have a significant impact on the story, which is also very complicated. Pay attention! Anyone that does not enjoy figuring out complicated plot lines and lots of talking will probably not enjoy this.

The second is a bit of an oddball: Tenshu Monogatari. I would recommend watching it last, as it completely changes gears into a sort of fantasy-genre fairy tale. It's a little more forgettable as the cast of characters is rather large, and not much screen time is given to some of the other goddesses in the story. Animation in this one is noticeable more colorful than Yotsuya, which is fitting as the first tale is very doom and gloom while Tenshu is a love story with a cast of goddesses whose main way of differentiating each other is the color of the very complicated things they wear. The difference between the goddesses' realm and that of mortals is notable because of this, you'll see a lot more neutral tones in the few times you see the mortal realm. More imagery! The characters are a little forgettable, since as I mentioned, most of them do not get enough screen time, though what I saw of the other goddesses reminds me slightly of Aa Megami-sama. This one is sweet as a standalone story, but a little strange to find in the mix of Ayakashi.

The third story is definitely the best, and has generated a spinoff of its own recently: Bakeneko. This entire story is animated with a rice-paper overlay effect and in vibrant, oddly-textured colors, making it look like a moving representation of a Japanese ukiyo-e. To say Bakeneko is beautiful is a severe understatement. Bakeneko very aptly fills the hole left by Tenshu in the 'ghost story' description, as well as having a crafty mystery spin to it. This story also has quite a bit of Japanese folklore in it, so some knowledge of the history of exorcism is good to have. The first two episodes of Bakeneko are buildup to the finale, filling in the story and coaxing the mystery from the woodwork in several pieces, to lead up to the shocking conclusion! The characters are very unique, very memorable, especially the Medicine Seller for his enigmatic air and his transformation in the conclusion, which is wisely not explained as to add to the mystery. For such a short story, it is surprisingly easy to develop feelings for the victim woman in the story, making the finale so much more believeable, and in so many words: freaking awesome. Very well done; I loved this one the most and it is apparent why this one was chosen to be continued in its own series, Mononoke.
