About Hyakki Yakoushou

Here is what Hyakki Yakoushou (百鬼夜行抄) is about, retold in plain terms: a horror, mystery and supernatural anime by Imageworks Studio (2026). What the story covers: Ritsu inherited his sixth sense from his grandfather, along with a demon guardian named Blue Storm. Peculiar things just seem to happen around these two, and it's left to them to get to the bottom of all these enigmatic events.

More of the story: Each story is independent but features recurring characters you'll come to know and appreciate as they, each in their own way, try to deal with things 'not of this realm'.

As a horror title, atmosphere, sound and restraint do the heavy lifting. Voice work is led by Nobuhiko Okamoto as Ritsu Iijima and Ikumi Hasegawa as Tsukasa Iijima. Think of it as a pick for viewers comfortable with dark, unsettling material. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

The horror focus matters here: atmosphere, sound and restraint do the heavy lifting. With a 4.9/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Nobuhiko Okamoto voicing Ritsu Iijima gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2026, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
