While not a perfect series, BakéGyamon absolutely deserves more recognition overall.
The first half of the series mainly revolves around episodic games within the larger BakéGyamon tournament, and they're perfectly servicable episodes. But the real meat of the series comes in around the midway point of the series, as the narrative shifts its focus towards the existence of BakéGyamon and the central figures behind it. The series can be surprisingly emotional and dark at times despite being aimed for kids.
The second half of the series is also when we start getting conclusions for the main cast's individual subplots. I found them all to be entertaining characters, although I do wish Mick had been given the same depth as the others. He didn't do much else besides act as a comic relief. The…

Few recurring characters from the Ushio to Tora anime franchise (I just realized that both were written by the same author/mangaka). The hand-drawn anime's storyline revolves around yokai/Japanese folklore monsters in a competition and 1-on-1 battle tournament. The winner of the tournament will be granted one wish of their own.
The animation quality was decent, but it became a bit messy towards the end. Some subplots that were established at the beginning were disregarded. All the opening and ending songs were amazing, very reminiscent of early 2000s anime. The scores remind me of the Inuyasha series.

Gekifu Bakegyamon, one of anime that I watched when I was 13. It made me nostalgia so I planned to rewatch again. I simply watch only to remember some awesome moments in it, however, after understanding the anime a little deeper, it made me somehow impressed..
Story: 9/10
The story wasn't that promising at the first, people may accuse it like a generic game match, which the MC goes along and eventually win the tournament and his wishes will be granted. It involves the existence of Ayakashi, one of Japanese's mythical creatures being sealed as Gekifu in order to be used in a game called "Bakegyamon". Maybe we will think: "What's the reason of Bakegyamon? Why they seal Ayakashi in order to make children happy playing game?"
After some explanation, I found that it's not just a generic game t…
