Nurarihyon no Mago: Finally!

I just recently started watching Nurarihyon and I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect much from it (I usually don't) but this anime rose far far above my expectations. The story itself isn't anything new - rather, it kind of reminded me of Katekyo Hitman Reborn. But nevertheless, it is well thought through and most importantly it is interesting. And what I personally liked is that it has a lot of Japanese old folk tales and myths about demons (youkai) incorporated into the story.

Dialogue is really funny and easy to follow. It is understandable and smart considering that most of the time someone is cracking jokes (which is great!). Characters are great and each is unique in its own way - but what I always expect from anime characters is that while being simply awesome, they have a dose of humor - they all had my attention throughout each episode.

Animation is at a really high level. It isn't sloppy but rather it holds a great deal of quality. There are filler episodes from time to time but they appear so rarely that you can simply forget about them. This is a great anime to watch because it isn't too demanding in terms of the story line and the number of characters. I've seen several anime in the past few months and I have to say that this one is really cool - you get high-quality entertainment along with an awesome story that doesn't blend in with the crowd.
