Episode 1

Based on the work of Lafcadio Hearn (Koizumi Yakumo), a resident of Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture, who left a significant mark on Japanese ghost story literature, this animated series utilizes AI production techniques.

The original characters were created in-house, and the same script was produced using two different approaches: an "anime-look version" created in a standard 2D animation style, and a "live-action-look version" that emphasizes the horror of the ghost story with photorealistic AI rendering. Each version will be broadcast in a different time slot.

This entry is for the "anime-look version" broadcast.
