These may be diversions at best, but they're passable diversions. Unfortunately, this potpourri of story ideas is thoroughly let down by the art, which often goes overboard with fancy details and splashy effects in an attempt to impress the reader. What would be really impressive is if Hiroshi Shiibashi learned to hold back and put the pen down once in a while. With better visual discipline and a deeper storyline, perhaps the saga of this yokai clan would truly begin to rise.
That's not to say the series is completely devoid of quality. The animation is handled by Sunrise, who is no slouch when it comes to fluid and consistent character animation. The colors are vibrant, and the music isn't half bad, either, invoking a calm balance between archaic and modern styles to fit with the theme of the series. Indeed, the problem with this series is twofold: one, the plot moves along about as quickly as a snail that's been buried beneath six feet of concrete, and two, it follows a very tired yoma-of-the-week formula that gets old very, very quickly.
