Does anyone know this Japanese horror anime?? Bakeneko is a beautiful anime I saw lately! It looks like an animated Ukiyo-e (traditional Japanese painting), with flat Japanese colours and washi (traditional Japanese paper) textures. It only has 3 episodes though, I hope they make a sequel!

Bakeneko is a legendary Japanese monster. When a cat gets very old it is believed to turn into a Bakeneko. This legend has a few different versions varying from region to region, but basically the Bakeneko can take the form of a human, has 3 or 7 tails, likes to lick oil, and avenges the grudge of the person who it's indebted to. The guy on the back of the pic is the main character, and he's a mysterious medicine seller whose name is not revealed.

If you like Japanese legends and Japanese themes, this anime is highly recommended!(I also recommend Mushishi!)
