Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi

A most enjoyable anime with a varied cast of characters mostly drawn from Japanese folk tales. A young woman is taken to the realm of "Ayakashi" or "Yokai" magical creatures like ogres, tengu, kappas and many more. While undergoing various trials and travails, her skill at cooking helps her gain friends and supporters. The animation is lovely, the plotting is well done.

I'm in love if you love the ancient magus bride then you'll love this show we need more drama romance more EPISODE !!!!

Can't wait for the next episode. Odanna is the most handsome ogre I've ever seen. The story is just wonderful and it keeps getting better. I love cooking ... the way to an ogre's heart is through his stomach :)

Pros: I enjoyed the romantic moments and watching the character's relationships grow. The music is decent, and there is thought behind the plot.

Cons: All of the characters have very little depth. I was often left confused about the motivation behind the antagonists' actions, and even more about Aoi's. Even though the situations she's in are unfair and she's often mistreated, she just takes it with a smile and seems totally fine. Also, there were way too many recap scenes and way too much talking about food, which made me skip through a lot. And don't make the mistake of watching the dub like I did.

This anime would've been better if they prioritized character growth and depth instead of food, but it still is decent.

The idea behind this anime seems fresh and unique. I really liked it. The only thng bothering me is that from time to time, it feels almost like a cooking show and there isn't enough romance. *sigh* Other than that, the storyline is compelling and interesting and I can definitelly recommend it.
