There was once an ogre (oni) mother who gave birth to human looking child. Instead of an ogre's horn, this child was born with a sword in hand called the Onigirimaru (Ogre Slayer). He has no name and is only refered to by the name of his sword. Though he appears human, he is pure ogre. Believing that he will become human once all of his kind vanished from the world of humans, he sets out on his destiny to slay all of his kind. Even now, in the mother world of Japan, he is still out there slaying ogres.

For fans of the original 1985 Vampire Hunter D, and of Pet Shop of Horrors. Episodic, natsukashii, and old school, with beautiful closing animation.

I especially like the last episode, although it was dark and tragic. My gut tells me this episode may have sparked (albeit in a tiny way) the bakeneko episode of Ayakashi: Japanese Classic Horror, a newer series of broader appeal which I also love.

· · EarthThe Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is a ball of hot mud, but on the surface it`s cold enough, so most of us live on it (or are supposed to). To its inhabitants, our planet is their home, so, as a species, we cherish it to the point many cultures even to this day deify it. The Earth is the main setting of most fiction, but many titles are set in other places, such as unrelated fantasy worlds, and in a considerable number of fictional titles the Earth is actually destroyed by invaders. ***

During this time, Japan started its modernization and rose to world power status. *
