The Gazer is nigh Pac-Man gone wrong. Seriously. This is not a stretched interpretation.During the day, they are just ordinary (if slightly sleep-deprived) high school students, while at night they defend their homes and school grounds from monsters (Ayakashi) by conjuring multi-use barriers (Kekkai).Theyre eventually joined by the half-ayakashi Gen Shishio, and much later by Souji Hiura, a rather odd young man in his own right.
The story is not just as simple as that, however, as the protagonists find themselves and their protectorate involved in the devious plots of evil societies and megalomaniacs whose desires reach farther than mere destruction. In America, the anime Produced by Sunrise, with assistance from Dogakobo, Nakamura Productions and Telecom Animation Film on certain episodes premiered in May 2010 on adult swim (with English dubbing) and on Hulu in early 2011 (in Japanese with English subtitles). While the anime ended in 2008, the manga concluded a few years later in 2011. ![]() Advertisement: The author of Kekkaishi, Ierou Tanabe, has a new monthly series out, called BirdMen. Kekkaishi provides examples of: 2D Visuals, 3D Effects: For the most part, Kekkaishi mixes computer graphics and hand-drawn animation seamlessly. The barriers and Instant Runes are done so well that you could watch the whole series without realizing how they were done. However, the animation of car movement isnt done as well, as they glide perfectly along mathematically level streets. Accidental Pervert: Yoshimori has one memorable moment in the manga. ![]() The Kokuboro castle seems to fit this too, though since it was created by a capricious and unpredictable kitsune, its not surprising. Advertisement: Aloof Big Brother: Masamori acts nice to Yoshimori around others, but once behind closed doors he is down to business. While the Karasumori grounds do mess with ghosts heads, they still have the capacity to listen to reason. ![]() Armor-Piercing Slap: Tokine on Yoshimori, for putting so many people in danger by forcing them to rescue him from Kokuburo Castle. Asleep in Class: Yoshimori has monster-fighting duties every night, so he sleeps in class (and naps on the roof during breaks) practically every day. Ax-Crazy: Kaguro. Made even worse by the fact that he can sprout a limitless supply of swords from his body, making it impossible to disarm him. Barrier Warrior: Its in the name, which translates into Barrier Master. A lot of the magic in this series is magical barriers with different secondary effects or being creatively used. Battle Couple: Yoshimori and Tokine always go on patrol together. He has a crush on her but while shes normally cold there are moments to hint otherwise. Bifauxnen: Kakeru in flashbacks (shes even mistaken for a boy at least once.) Big Bad: Byaku or Hime for the Kokuboro arc; later arcs have no shortage of potentials, either. Big Eater: Uro-sama loves donuts and stacks them on his extendable fingers. The Gazer is nigh Pac-Man gone wrong. Seriously. This is not a stretched interpretation.
