This arc pretty much saved the entire show from being a complete crapfest. The first arc was pretty lame and while the second arc was an improvement, it wasn't much better.

First Arc - 3/10
Second Arc - 5/10
Third Arc - 8/10

Overall, 5/10, if only because of the third arc.

this is some cheap shit

first arc - melodramatic revenge story with unneeded and out of nowhere fanservice for incest creeps. (i get why mononoke used incest- to maintain theme continuity...lol) 2/10

second arc - again melodrama with extremely unlikable characters like romanticized two-timing man and shitty two faced wife and dumb demons. but over improvement from the first one. 4/10

third arc - was better especially due to medicine seller was the protagonist. it was about rapist family. In no way its as good as bakeneco arc of mononoke, (though it had longer fight scene and more expression in medicine seller, but its just in last episode. rest 2 episode were not much to say for). 6/10

overall - 4/10
i got to say this should be named "Manhore monogatari" instead of ayakashi because all three stories are kind of variation of that

Really pleased that there's more anime in the style of the medicine seller story.

Awesome series! Despite the bad animation and low budget, I really enjoyed each and every mini story. This third arc was fantastic, but the other two were also awesome, even the one about the love story between human and forgotten god. Originally watched this just so I could watch Mononoke, but was pleasantly surprised by how good it was.

As this is a Toei production, it was also fun hearing a bunch of familiar One Piece VAs in something different. If you have time, try to listen to each person's voice and pick out which One Piece character they were. Some of the results might surprise you!

This last arc!  OMG!!  What a despicable family!  I would not have had the heart to kill the bakeneko after the truth was revealed.  I would have told the 2 innocents to leave the property and left the bakeneko to just devour the entire house.

It's not so much that the first and second stories were bad just that the Bakeneko story goes to the next level in it's visual style.

And fans take note the Mononoke Movie: Karakasa will be out in Japan in July 2024.

Gostei demais desse final de episódio. Achei bem triste a história da personagem, mas o jeito em que foi resolvido foi muito eficiente, e gosto da maneira que , descobrindo a razão, a verdade e a forma do demônio, o boticário lindo pra cac3te consegue esclarecer toda a situação. Dentre todas as histórias desse anime, a última foi a que mais me conquistou, apesar da primeira ser chocante demais e da segunda me dar um pouco de raiva do final. Muito bom e recomendo. A última história que me trouxe aqui por conta do anime Mononoke, e não me arrependo de ter o procurado em site pirata para ver.

Man. That ending... Kind of hoped they got devoured by the monster they created but apparently the medicine seller saved them...

All in all I have to say the last arc was the most interesting. Definitely enjoyed it as much as the sequel. The art style was as cool as the sequel and Sakurai Takahiro is a great VA.

Behind that I prefered the first story over the second but mostly because I'm kind of sick of "abusive situations" like that. Obviously that has been the norm during that time and yes, the final had it as well (and to a degree even the first with the guy leaving his wife), but at least there was mystery to reach it while the second arc basically had it right at the start and was all about the POS losing his mind and finally getting what he deserved. I get that it's a famous kabuki play and surprisingly the adaption has been pretty close. Just saying I would have preferred something a bit more mystical.
