   The Hakkenden...ew
I did not appreciate this series. Thankfully I cancelled the rest of the DVDs after I viewed the first one.

Here are the reasons behind my cautious cancellation:

First off, there was too much blood for me to feel comfortable watching the show for very long.
Second, there was a marriage between a woman and a dog as payment for the dog's services. Gross.
Third, the dog seems to have impregnated the woman, while she was sleeping. She is horrified. (Naturally.)
Fourth, the story-line is a bit confusing as to what the "children" of this union are.
Fifth, the woman is killed before she can give birth, so how can there be children anyway? It's supposed to be mystical or something, but it just seems strange and forced.

I think the story is based off Japanese folklore, but I wouldn't know, not growing up with much of that. Anyway, I didn't feel good about watching this series, so I stopped and don't feel the need to see the rest. I would not recommend this anime to anyone.

And on that low note...

This is frabjousarcher[) signing off.
