I knew going into this anime I would like it given that it's supernatural, historical, and based on stories. I was surprised how much I really truly enjoyed it. The characters were easy to like and easy to root for. The narrative had some comedy interspersed to break up the drama, and the ending was tonally sound. I found that it elicited emotional responses from me that a lot of anime hasn't lately. I devoured this in a few nights simply because I had to know what happened next, I was always eager to see more of it. I'm definitely hoping we will get moreepisodes in the future. I'm also looking forward if I can track down other adaptations or maybe the stories themselves to read.It of course was not without its weaknesses. It was pretty predictable in places but to me it wasn't a detriment and didn't throw me out of the experience.

If you enjoy historical fiction, supernatural fiction, or other works about Abe no Seimei, then you'll like this too.
