Supernatural Anime (1,556)

Taking place on Earth as we know it, supernatural stories incorporate elements or attributes that are unnatural and unexplainable by science. These supernatural elements may be rumored, but a rational person would be shocked to discover they actually exist. Creatures common in folklore, urban legends, or superstition are often featured. Humans may also be granted supernatural powers, either by an inhuman being or through a paranormal concept that is defined by the "hidden" society.

Character traits alone do not determine if a story is Supernatural; the unreal elements should be prevalent throughout the story and necessary for the main narrative. Furthermore, supernatural elements in the story should occur within the normal world, and not within a self-contained and/or fantastical area only accessible to the main cast (e.g. the underworld). Unnatural abilities or afflictions should be within the realm of superstition and not be akin to magic. If the only supernatural aspect in the story are these powers and they are not based on a shared concept (e.g. manipulating one's blood), then check Super Power.

When searching for stories featuring creatures, spirits, or gods from folklore, the Mythology and Vampire themes can help refine your search.

Blessed with eyes that are able to perceive the otherwise invisible youkai, Takashi Natsume hides his ability from his newfound family and friends to protect everyone's peaceful daily life. Nonetheless, Natsume never fails to show the same kindness to the benevolent youkai and happily returns their names by using the infamous Book of Friends he inherited from his late grandmother, Reiko. Meanwhile, the exorcist clan Matoba still wishes for Natsume to join their ranks due to his overwhelming gift. However, Natsume firmly rejects the clan's invitation since not all exorcists are as reasonable as his friend Shuuichi Natori, and many improperly and indiscriminately seal away every youkai in their way. Unsatisfied with Natsume's answer, Seiji Matoba blackmails Natsume into attending a grand gathering of powerful exorcist families. Natsume soon finds himself in the company of dangerous people and youkai alike. But even then, he continues to defy the exorcists' hard-handed methods and believes that peace between both worlds is possible. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Having finished her training in Italy, Robin Sena transfers to Solomon's local Japanese branch, STNJ. Possessing powerful pyrokinetic abilities, she is herself a Witch, putting her at odds with STNJ's methods of dealing with rogue Witches.
