It's really quite enjoyable seeing some of the culture of japan that ISN'T based on school life (That's really getting old). It covers a lot of the background that really gives insight into some of these other anime. Festivals, gods, strange stories and so on. That's almost reason enough to watch it!

Each of the little stories in each episode are very similar in many ways to folktales from other parts of the world, but they all tend to be entertaining. The good getting rewarded and the Wicked people being justly punished. Morals being learnt. (read more)

The title's quite literally meant, as this is different from really anything out there.

“Folktales from Japan” is what it promises: a collection of Japanese fairy tales in anime version. The small stories are well selected and grouped together, with three stories per episode; some of those are funny, some a barely ten-minute crash course on Japanese superstitions, some have their way-obvious morals and some get so wrapped up in the process of story-telling that the moral values are completely mushed. Easy enough to understand and manages (read more)

This isn't your typical anime, of course - it's not action oriented, but it's a great way to learn about Japanese folklore, and it's a nice breather from your typical shows. Being directed towards younger children, the stories are lightened up with soft, adorable animation, but I think it's appealing to all ages.

There are only two narrators who split up narration of the stories as well as characters, but it doesn't deter from the story or entertainment. There are typically three or so stories per episode. Though they're short and simple, (read more)

If you wanna know a bit better the japanese folktales, you MUST see this anime. Its cute, and its cautionary tales. Its not only for children, but i bravely recommend for all ages.

If you just like shit shounen or ecchi anime... dont watch this... beacuse you are a motherfucker!
