Nurarihyon no Mago



Plot (From Wikipedia):
Rikuo Nura is part human and a quarter yōkai (demon). Rikuo is able to turn into his yokai form only after the sunsets when the moon is out, he turns back into his human self when the sun rises. This happens because he is only a quarter yokai. He lives in a house full of spirits along with his yōkai grandfather. Trying to escape his fate of acting like a yōkai, he does good deeds in order to avoid becoming one, despite his grandfather's wish to succeed him as master of the Nura yōkai clan. Rikuo is a different yokai because he helps humans. He eventually comes to terms with his demon blood and decides to take up the position of Young head of the Nura house. Multiple factions aim to stop him or overtake his position, and he must gather friends and allies, a new Hyakki Yakō under his banner of "Fear".

My Thoughts:
The first arc was kind of childish but I still enjoyed it because it was a lot of fun watching. The opening song starting episode 14 was pretty catchy and I actually had to download the song! The second arc was definitely much better. The pace of the story started to move faster and definitely more action.  I truly enjoyed this one. I do hope that they make another season of this.
