Ghost Slayers Ayashi (Japanese: 天保異聞 妖奇士 Hepburn: Tenpō Ibun Ayakashi Ayashi?) is a Japanese anime series, created and written by Shō Aikawa and produced by Bones. Directed by Hiroshi Nishikiori, it featured character designs by Toshihiro Kawamoto and premiered across Japan on October 7, 2006 on TBS.
It received its satellite television premiere across Japan on Animax on November 14, 2006, and also received its English language television premiere on Animax's English networks, Animax Asia, across Southeast Asia and South Asia from January 2009. While originally scheduled to air for 52 episodes, the series' length was shortened to 25 due to its low ratings and ended its run on March 31, 2007.
In 1843, the fourteenth year of the Tenpō Era, ten years before the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry and the Black Ships, Edo is under attack by beasts from the underworld, known as Yōi (妖夷?). Members of the Bansha Aratamesho, called the Ayashi (奇士?), are assembled to repel the emergence of these yoi.
