AYAKASHI anime

I'm probably really behind on anime news... I didn't know about this anime until I saw the comments on a post I wrote about a year ago...

Apparently, AYAKASHI IS now being made into an anime. Cool But judging from the first couple of episodes, it didn't quite live up to what I had hoped...

The open theme song in the game, which IMHO is one of the best opening theme songs I've heard, is absent in the anime. In its place, a mediocre opening sequence I couldn't bare myself to watch... Licensing issues, perhaps? Then again, the anime kept all the BGMs... Undecided

Some of the characters are barely recognizable. This may or may not be a bad thing. It departs away from the game, but it also feels refreshing(and they do look quite good, none the less).

The anime IS keeping itself fairly close to the original on its story. However, due to its not-so-adequate length(13 episodes), it'll probably feel like a brief summary rather than a full anime series to those who have played the game...

I was so happy when I heard that AYAKASHI finally got an anime adaption, but it turned out to be... let's say "not that good". The people who are working on it seem to be very lazy, the animation is horrible at some points. I actually think most of the action scenes are a bit more exciting in the game... >_>

Everyone seems to have dropped this series after episode 2 and now almost everyone hates it. That's kind of sad, I love the character designs and the story, so I'd love to see some fanart/fanfiction... but that's probably not going to happen.

Maybe I'm just overreacting because I've been a fan for quite some time now and I always wanted to see the whole thing animated... but still... whatever, sorry for ranting. I always end up typing too much when I'm writing about AYAKASHI. xD;;

since i have not played the game i can't judge... but... hmmm.... I do think that opening song is a spoiler.. and that the shouw could dow ay better at action >_< and i was looking so forward to it... PS: I used to watch a show from that same group... they weren't that lazy before.. and they don't do bad in the subs so... i can live with mishicorp...

PS2: I find the new opening song good in the middle.. and hporrible at the end.... however.. it really does not live up to suna no shino :(


I'm skeith! the greatest of all bosses on .hack! The best phase of them all!
