Kemono Jihen






Couple of cute ships in this series I like Inugami/Mihai but can see both Shiki/Akira and Yui/Akira


Anime Spoylight - Kemono Jihen

I really enjoyed this series as I love youkai and shounen battles. A nice little mix of horror and action that was sadly overlooked by coming out the same time as Jujutsu Kaisen.

The plot follows Kohachi Inugami, a detective who specializes in the occult, arrives at a remote village in the Japanese countryside, tasked by a hostess at a local inn to investigate a string of incidents involving rotting and mutilated livestock corpses that have been appearing for seemingly no reason. While surveying, Inugami notices a peculiar young boy working in the fields. Evaded by his peers and called "Dorotabou" for his stench, the young farmhand is surprised that anybody would take an interest in him. Inugami, piqued with curiosity, enlists Dorotabou in helping him with the investigation, despite scorned looks from the villagers. Unbeknownst to Dorotabou, this investigation will reveal a strange new world to him—one of the beast-like entities known as Kemono existing in tandem with humans—along with breathing new purpose into his previously empty life.

The series is nicey animated and fun and intriguing, it has good love and mythology with interesting characters with interesting pasts and abilities. Its got some nice gentle and cute moments to balance out its darker moments and is worth watching. I feel it was a little short and stops when it really starts going so I hope there is another series.

It also has two adorable characters that need to be protected in Akira and Kon. Really want to spend more time seeing these character grow as well as seeing how the mystery and battles promised play out.
