Kekkaishi

[Skeithex]

Another anime watched and this time it was a pretty good one. I found the animation of Kekkaishi pretty good and it also had a good storyline, even though it parted it self from the manga about half way into the series. The music was good and it used a different style with it's endings as well which I found interesting.


Description:

According to the legend, five hundred years ago, there was an insignificant lord who possessed a mysterious power that drew ayakashi (妖?) (supernatural creatures) to him. A demon exterminator, Tokimori Hazama, was called upon to protect the lord and his castle. The lord's power stayed on the land even when he had died. Thus, Tokimori founded the Hazama clan, who inherited his techniques, to protect the land for centuries to come. This land is Karasumori (烏森?).

In the present day, Yoshimori Sumimura and Tokine Yukimura, heirs of the Hazama clan, are the kekkaishi (結界師?) that protect Karasumori. They are ability users (people who can use supernatural powers) who use a technique called Kekkai (結界?). Kekkai is a form of magical energy barrier which is primarily used to capture and destroy ayakashi that are drawn to this shin'yūchi (神佑地?, "sacred land"). Any ayakashi that stay on the land become stronger. Yoshimori and Tokine are to guard the land from the intrusion of ayakashi who try to "power-up" there.

over all, I found the dubbing very good and got a good laugh from this series here and there. If you got the time, I recommend checking this anime out.

The anime sort of reminds me of Inyuyasha.
