An
anime miniseries about the
misadventures of Ushio Aoski, your typical
Japanese high school student. Well, he would be
typical, if it weren't for a few things...
- He has a cat-like demon named Tora living with him, who often tries to eat Ushio with no success.
- Tora's demonic essence draws other, more malignant monsters to the area.
- Ushio must use the mystical Beast Spear that he carries around with him (he found Tora pinned to a rock in a cave under his home with the Spear at the beginning of the series) to fight off these monsters.
The show is, for the most part, a blend of
action and
comedy (one could call it a
dramedy). It features lots of
fight scenes, and several comedic attempts on the part of Tora to
adjust to modern living.
