Sunrise's action-adventure series Kekkaishi, based on the manga by Yellow Tanabe, is now available to stream on Hulu with both English dub and subtitle options. The 52-episode anime follows Yoshimura Sumimura, a young man from a long line of demon-slaying exorcists tasked with protecting his school from supernatural creatures drawn to its mystical land.
With a MAL score of 7.6, Kekkaishi delivers a compelling mix of supernatural combat and shonen tropes. The series explores the lore of Ayakashi, creatures that feed on spiritual energy, and the responsibilities of the Kekkaishi who seal them away. Yoshimura's reluctance to embrace his destiny, preferring baking over battling, adds a unique character layer.
As a complete series, Kekkaishi offers a binge-worthy experience for fans of classic supernatural action. Its 2006 premiere places it in the era of influential shonen adaptations, and its availability on Hulu makes it accessible for a new generation of viewers.
