The Wicked and the Damned: A Hundred Tales of Karma (Kōsetsu Hyaku Monogatari, meaning "Hundred Stories") is a series of novels by Natsuhiko Kyogoku. These novels were adapted into an anime titled Requiem from the Darkness (Kyōgoku Natsuhiko Kōsetsu Hyaku Monogatari, "Natsuhiko Kyogoku's Hundred Stories") and a live-action show.The anime especially is known for its rather bizarre plot-lines and story elements; said story follows Momosuke as he travels around Feudal Japan in a search for one hundred ghost stories. But while doing this, he runs across a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits. They fight evil......Well, kind of, anyway. Think Darker and Edgier Scooby-Doo.The series is also known for making lazy animation an artform; seriously, they turn it into an advantage. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Requiem from the Darkness / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Amazingly, some of the stories in this series are far more grisly and gruesome than the mythical stories they are based on! A good example is "Salty Choji": in the myth, this story revolves around a gluttonous man who devours an entire herd of horses 300 strong, whereupon the last horse's spirit tortures him to death over 100 nights — in the series, this story revolves around a fratricidal cannibal who is trying to slake his lust for human meat by eating horseflesh instead. | |

I Love the Dead: "Katabira Crossroads" revolves around a series of pornographic scrolls... the subject of which are corpses in varying states of decay. The subplot between Momosuke and Ogin, since Ogin is pretty blatantly stated to be a ghost. | |

Body Horror: Many, many characters suffer horrific physical mutilation and distortion, usually to fatal results, over the course of the series. "Salty Choji", for example, has the titular character as a morbidly obese and repulsive figure, whose rippling skin strains to cover his flabby body, with bulging bloodshot eyes and dripping with sweat. | |

Hidden Backup Prince: "The Shibaemon Raccoon Dog" revolves around a young samurai, the son of one of the Emperor's mistresses, who was raised to take over the throne when the ill emperor died. However, the emperor managed to produce a legitimate heir, and so the child became useless. His own mother attempted to poison him, but he switched the cups. As she cursed him, he struck her down, starting a lifetime of berserk rages he had no control over. | |

Half the Man He Used to Be | |
| Requiem from the Darkness / int_91697559 | comment |
Half the Man He Used to Be: Men, women, children... the Absurdly Sharp Blade makes no distinction. This is particularly prominent in "The Shibaemon Raccoon Dog", where the young samurai cuts people in half at the waist, as he killed his mother long ago. This happens to coincide with a legend where tanukis split people in half at the waist to eat their livers. | |

On the Next: Mataichi surmises what will be the issue in the next episode. Momosuke takes over in the final episode preview, however Ogin still drops the episode title and Mataichi ends it with his Catchphrase. | |

Amazing Technicolor Population: Characters often display unnatural and otherworldly coloration, especially if they are just background characters, which only adds to the surreal and mystical air that the animation is trying to cultivate. | |

Armor-Piercing Response | |
| Requiem from the Darkness / int_aca32000 | comment |
Armor-Piercing Response: When Mataichi's group is forced to "exorcise" an innocent person to stop a disaster, Momosuke calls them a bunch of murderers. Mataichi points out that the author himself participated in a number of exorcisms, sometimes directly killing the murderers himself. Momosuke is speechless. | |
