History VisualNovel / Ookamikakushi

The title is a play on the words ''o-kami'' ("god"), ''ookami'' ("wolf"), and ''kamikakushi'' ("spirited away"). The original VisualNovel came out on PSP in 2009, and the twelve episode {{anime}} adaptation, produced by {{AIC}} began airing in Japan on January 8, 2010 on Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS).

* {{Shotacon}}: Issei towards poor Hiroshi.

Noteworthy is that the character design is by the mangaka duo Peach-Pit of ''ShugoChara'' and ''Manga/RozenMaiden'' fame, amongst other works, and the original scenario is by Ryukishi07 of ''Franchise/WhenTheyCry'' fame (who was still in the middle of writing ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' at the time).

* AnAesop: Hiroshi felt the need to point one out at the end of episode 11

* [[BaitAndSwitchCredits Bait and Switch Credits]]: Nemuru and her wolf pack flying, like they do in the credits, never happens in the show proper.

* {{Cosplay}}: Usaeru Nemuru and Isuzu and Kaname's maid/waitress uniforms in episode 12.

* {{Expy}}: Sakaki wants to be ''[[CodeGeass Lelouch Lamperouge]]'' and ''[[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]]'' so very badly.

* FantasticSlurs: [[spoiler: Sakaki]] coins the term "Kyujin" in reference to the Kamibito, because of how they act like "dogs" towards certain smells. It doesn't take long for the FridgeHorror to set in as to ''why'' this is so horribly racist in that context.

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: TheReveal in the anime is that many of Jouga's residents are in fact the Jouga wolves in human form, referred to as "Kamibito".

* SinisterScythe: At night, Nemuru patrols the city hunting down fallen Kamibito.

* CryForTheDevil: [[spoiler: Sakaki's]] arc in the VN fills this role, and ''damn'' does it ever.

Noteworthy is that the character design is by the mangaka duo Peach-Pit of ''ShugoChara'' and ''RozenMaiden'' fame, amongst other works, and the original scenario is by Ryukishi07 of ''Franchise/WhenTheyCry'' fame (who was still in the middle of writing ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' at the time).

* GoryDiscretionShot: Used often whenever someone gets killed. Particularly surprising when you consider Ryukishi's [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry other]] [[VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi works.]]

''Ookami Kakushi'', also translated as ''Wolfed Away'', is the story of a 16 year old boy, Hiroshi Kuzumi, who has recently moved into a new town in the mountains. The town is separated into new and old streets by the river, and many mysterious local customs still remain. Although confused and enjoying his new life, one person keeps her distance from him: class committee member Nemuru Kushinada. In their few encounters she gives him a word of advice: "Stay away from the old streets."

The title is a play on the words ''o-kami'' ("god"), ''ookami'' ("wolf"), and ''kamikakushi'' ("spirited away"). The original VisualNovel came out on PSP in 2009, and the 12 episode {{anime}} adaptation, produced by {{AIC}} began airing in Japan on January 8, 2010 on Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS).

* BetterByADifferentName: I liked it better when it was called ''HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi''.

* GoryDiscretionShot: Used often whenever someone gets killed. Particularly surprising when you consider Ryukishi's [[VisualNovel/HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi other]] [[VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi works.]]

* HeyItsThatVoice:
** EmiriKatou as Isuzu Tsumuhana
** YuuKobayashi as Hiroshi Kuzumi
** This Troper keeps expecting [[KatsuyukiKonishi Washiu]] to [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann don orange sunglasses and demand to know who the hell the students think he is]].
** SakiFujita, the voice of Mana, is perhaps the biggest example of this - her voice is much better known as the one sampled to make [[{{Vocaloid}} Miku Hatsune]]'s.

The title is a play on the words ''o-kami'' ("god"), ''ookami'' ("wolf"), and ''kamikakushi'' ("spirited away"), and is based on the Japanese VisualNovel of the same name, that came out in August 2009.

* HoYay: The way-too-creepy variant.

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: A complaint leveled against the series due to superficial similarities to ''Higurashi'' (city kid moving into a TownWithADarkSecret and a unique festival, people [[DeadlyEuphemism "transferring"]] out).
* JerkassDissonance: [[spoiler: Sakaki,]] at least with those who only saw the anime, gained a larger fanbase than the protagonist despite his questionable actions...until episode eleven. He...[[VillainBall sort of lost]] [[WhatAnIdiot a few fans after that.]]
