Damn that was really cool. I love the classic, retro feel to the series -- artwork, plot development, even the soundtrack. Maybe I'm just a sucker for shounen, but this was an excellent introduction to the series.

Read the manga during its run. This is so nostalgic!

Usually anime adaptations occur as promotions - what's driving this particular revival of a completed series?

Does someone know how much chapter they poured into this first ep?


That was only the first chapter. Some people mention MAPPA will try to adapt the whole manga - 300+ chapters in 39 episodes - they'll have to speed-up the story 10x for that to happen and probably needs to skip a bunch. Just hope the quality won't suffer.

I managed 9 minutes before skimming the rest to confirm it was all bad. Awful comedy(?) style.


U can always watch kotoura-san... I believe it's more like ur style ;)


That is actually a good suggestion. Seriously, I like old-school if it is done right, like with Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199, but this was really not good. And the humor is awful.

Ushio to Tora is starting off amazingly! Of course the old school feels is a bonus, but more importantly, I like how the characters, especially the main character, feel rather alive, than just being a character. imo that's what modern anime fail to accomplish most of the time Props to Mappa for not "modernizing" the artstyle like what Madhouse did with Parasyte.

Can't wait to see how Ushio will tame Tora. XD

I'm getting some really awesome 90's feel from this anime. I'll probably binge-watch this in a day or two (hopefully)

That was bad at all, this is the first time that Hatanaka doesn't suck in his voice acting, usually he's pretty shit.

It was a good watch although it was rushed nearly half of the series. Generic main character (Ushio) - A crybaby high school student with many female interests. The dynamic between Tora and Ushio reminded me of Naruto with Kurama.

A huge fan of yokai or monster hunting. This was good as it is full of yokai that I'm mostly familiar with and packed with actions and adventures.

The animation style was okay, great performances by the voice actors. The opening song reminded me of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

The second half of this series was extremely rushed. Everything moves forward with little to no time to get into the storyline. maybe it was cancelled for more seasons. Not a fan of the character's progression.

The world-building was awful but I did enjoy the fighting. Tbh, this reminded me too much of Inuyasha.

Ngl, the sad moments hit hard, mostly thanks to the amazing instrumentals and compelling voice castings. Some unexpected twists that caught me off guard. Few horrifying scenes. Recommended.
