One of the greatest anime I have ever watched. Really good yakuza and demon anime. If you like it where the main character gets stronger and is a total bad @$$. Would recommend.

I like how when he turns his head (in his yokai form) his hair is always to his right. Nah but seriously, it's a great anime c:
