Ghost Slayers Ayashi is a historical and supernatural anime series from Aniplex that aired in 2006. The setting takes place in feudal Japan during the Edo period, when the country was plagued by a variety of ominous ghosts and spirits that threatened the safety of its people. The social order was also in flux during this time, as the shogunate system was slowly fading away, and a new era of enlightenment was on the horizon.

The story follows the adventures of a group of skilled individuals known as the Ayashi, who possess special abilities and are tasked with hunting down and vanquishing these dangerous apparitions. The team is led by the mysterious and enigmatic Yukiatsu Ryuudou, who is shrouded in secrets and appears to have a hidden agenda. The other members of the group include Ryunosuke Akutagawa, a young writer with the power to manipulate his surroundings through the power of words; Ogasawara Genbu, a former samurai who now sees ghosts due to a curse; and Kumoshichi, a skilled ninja who can traverse walls and attack from the shadows.

Together, the team faces a myriad of challenges and obstacles as they travel across Japan, encountering a plethora of different ghosts and spirits along the way. From malevolent and powerful yokai to vengeful ghosts seeking revenge, the Ayashi face a variety of terrifying opponents that push their skills to the limit. However, they are not alone in their quest, as they sometimes run into other individuals with special abilities and unique backgrounds. Some of these allies become recurring characters in the show, with their own distinct personalities and strengths.

One of the standout features of Ghost Slayers Ayashi is its visual style, which blends traditional Japanese artwork and motifs with modern animation techniques. The character designs are intricate and detailed, capturing the unique looks and personalities of each member of the Ayashi team. The backgrounds are also richly detailed, with a focus on architecture and cityscapes that reflect the era's period. The show is also notable for its use of color, with a bright and vibrant palette that contrasts well with the dark and menacing aura of the ghosts.

Aside from its stunning visuals, Ghost Slayers Ayashi also boasts an engaging and complex storyline that keeps viewers intrigued from start to finish. As the series progresses, viewers learn more about the origins and motivations of the Ayashi, as well as their hidden connections to each other and the ghosts they hunt. The show is also not afraid to tackle themes of social justice and political upheaval, as the Ayashi often find themselves caught up in larger conflicts that threaten the entire country.

Overall, Ghost Slayers Ayashi is a must-watch for fans of historical anime, supernatural thrillers, and action-packed adventure. With its richly-detailed animation style, engaging storyline, and memorable characters, this classic from Aniplex is sure to leave a lasting impression on viewers even after the final episode has aired.
