| Didn't expect that the art would be like this but so far, it's pleasing to my eyes. Unique and intriguing storyline and animation = I'M SOLD!! |
| This is going to be something special I can already tell. |

| I love the art for this show. The art is almost exactly like classic Japanese art... except a little more colorful. |

| Well, I'm totally interested now. |
 |
| Glad I came into this after watching Ayakashi. there's this familiar bell ringing! Anyway the art is unique, so refreshing. Not to mention the medicine seller who is one of the most mysterious and interesting guys I've seen. |
 |
| didn't like the art style, a bit weird. hope i get used to it, the story seems cool |
| I've already seen the Bakeneko arc in Ayakashi so I'm used to the unique artstyle. Again it's a case set in a closed room only with much less participants (or is it?) The stop-and-go motion was interesting and gave the direction a distinctive touch. |

| What a beautiful anime |
| I liked the art of this show from pretty much the moment it started. It is always enjoyable to see visuals like this that really standout from a lot of other series. Beyond the art, the atmosphere was pretty well built up and has me curious to see what exactly is going on in the inn. Also, the main character seems pretty cool/mysterious - I'm looking forward to seeing more development for him. |
| kinda reminds me of mushishi, and the art is unique. lets see how to goes |
 |
| Unique art took me by surprise, but I quickly got used to it. The Medicine Seller looks like an intriguing character. This will probably be a character driven show if my prediction is right. |
 |
| The arcane personality of The Medicine Seller certainly piqued my interest. |
| Greatest anime ever made |
| Hmmm, I dunno. The art reminds me too much of bakemonogatari... |

| Interesting how the common concept of knowing a demon/spirit/youkai/mononoke's name to have controll over it got expanded here with: form, truth, regret describing entirely a mononoke and giving the key to banish/kill/exorcize it |

| Good start, I'm expecting great things from an anime rated 8.61. |
 |
| That was... weird.This is anime looks like it's on drugs xD but I am certainly intrigued!!! |
| Whoa, first episode was STRANGE. The animation is artistic enough to keep me going but the style is quite different for me. Will continue to watch but weird episode. |
 |
| Just came here after finishing up Ayakashi: Japanese Classic Horror and well I was right this is going to be epic! The same setting/atmosphere feel and just the person on its own is quite epic! Lets see what this chapter has to offer! |
 |
| First thing you notice is the animation style which is like BAM right in your face by being different than your average anime style. This gives this anime a unique feel and i'm loving it so far :) The story and main character look very interesting as well and i'm expecting to enjoy it quite a bit. |
 |
| Not as interesting as Shinsekai. But cool art. Also, not as mysterious. |

| This art style is weird seems like a pretty good one decided to watch this becuase of the high mal rating def a unique one |
 |
| Coming from Ayakashi JCH, this doesn't feel like the first episode at all haha. |

| Weird, not feeling it. But I like the art style and Kusuriuri looks interesting so I'll try some more. |

| Dammit I just couldn't resist rewatching Mononoke any longer xD |
|
| holy fuck that was surreal very uncomfortable! sakurai's voice was bliss the direction was crazy! |
| Art style looks like wallpaper lol. meh not very interested. |
~my list
| personally i love the art style. the use of textures and base colours is amazing. eh, as far as first episodes go this was some what creepy. okay, the creepy thing about it is the children's laughter/noise but no children. I already guess why but can't wait to see how things go the next episode. |
 |
| Eeeeh....interesting enough. |
| I was so immersed I didn't even notice that the episode has ended. Amazing art direction and intrigue, great voice acting for Kusuriuri. |

| This anime is fantastic. Such a unique art style. It's sort of like the art from Gankutsuou (people wearing wallpaper) but a lot more raw. A very underapreciated show. |
Good night Haise. |
| I really liked the art style of Gankutsuou and I also find the looks of Mononoke very interesting. Im sure this is gonna be an enjoyable show. |
 |
| I'm seeing a lot of parallels with Mushishi. Cool main characters with a vast knowledge of the supernatural. Find mushi/mononoke, explore, discover cause, fix. Kusuriuri seems to have a bit more of an edge to him compared to Ginko though. Love his design, too. In fact the whole aesthetic of the show looks great. Expecting some seriously trippy shit out of this one with the art style and the horror genre thrown in together. 9/10 best first episode I've seen in a while. |
| I absolutely adore the Medicine Seller's design. I like the way he speaks too. Adds to his not quite human feel. |
90s J-rock was our aesthetic peak. |

 |
| Wow the art and sound combine to give me goosebumps |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| It's a mystery on how this first episode managed to make me more confused than the Demon Cat arc in Ayakashi lol I suppose it'll piece together in the next episode The art was gorgeous eye-candy but the characters lmao I can't get enough of that opening~ So catchy ♡ It was such a tease when it ended so abruptly '^' My favorite parts of the episode was the time when the assassin threw knifes next to the girl and when the Medicine Seller deployed all those talismans. The latter one was such a sight to watch! |
 |
| This is very artistic and epic. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| I loved it. I actually didn't know I could skip the prequel lol. It was pretty awesome when the medicine seller formed all of the seals into a circle. Badass. |
