Ayakashi - Japanese Classic Horror
- TV (11 eps)
- 2006
The dark and brooding Ayakashi is composed of three horror stories: the narration of a young woman named Oiwa who was abandoned and betrayed by the one she truly loved, leading her to curse all who stood in her way; a story of two star-crossed lovers – a human and a forgotten god – and their struggle to have a future together; and the tale of an evil and malicious demon who is haunting and murdering a family for unknown purposes. Though different in animation style and tone, each story shares a similar theme: the darkness of the human heart.

add recI'll be blunt, Midori could have been an Ayakashi - JCH story. It would fit in quite nicely. If you like horror and the freaky, you will like both of these anime.
Twisted people dealing with each other having typical human emotions getting in their way. Love, hate, revenge surrounds these tormented characters in both these anime. If you enjoy seeing how people react and solve their emotional problems that arise check one out if you liked the other.
