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. Adventure and bizarre happenings. It really is all there, and on a pleasantly wide range of topics.

Each episode is a mixture of narration and character's speach, for the most part. Occasionally the narrator speaks a lot more, other times the narrator hardly speaks. Occasionally, these are poorly done, and they are quite noticable when they are. Most of the time It's quite tolerable.

Animation quality rangess from incredibly bad to almost beautiful. When it's bad, it's almost horrific and unwatchable. At its best, it's almost like watching a painter at work. However, for the average episode, artwork is of a lower quality than might be expected, especially compared to pretty much anything else on this site.

I would suspect that the average viewer would find this mildly diverting and worth watching for its cultural signifance, but would much rather find something else to watch.
