Okamikakushi: Masque of the Wolf is a psychological thriller, mystery and horror anime that follows the story of a high-school boy, Hiroshi Kuzumi, who moves with his family, from the city to the small village of Jogamachi. The village is known for its ancient beliefs where supernatural beings such as wolves are worshipped and revered. These beliefs run deep in the village, and there is a sense of mystery surrounding the village and its people.

Hiroshi struggles to adapt to his new life and school, but he soon learns that there is more to Jogamachi than what meets the eye. The villagers seem to go to great lengths to maintain their secrets and beliefs, and everything seems to be shrouded in mystery. Hiroshi's classmates, particularly the enigmatic Isuzu Tsumuhana, are weirdly friendly towards him, but they may have something sinister in mind.

As Hiroshi delves deeper into the secret of the village, he uncovers dark and disturbing hidden truths that put him in grave danger. The villagers believe in sacrificing a life to the mountain god, Amaterasu, every few years to maintain the balance of nature. However, Hiroshi finds out that there might be something more sinister going on, something that the villagers will stop at nothing to protect.

The story is filled with suspense and keeps you guessing till the very end. The character development is exceptionally well done, with each character having their personalities and secrets that are revealed throughout the story. The relationship between Hiroshi and Isuzu is a central theme in the story, and it is fascinating to watch it evolve throughout.

The animation style is detailed and beautifully crafted, capturing the atmosphere and mood of the story. The music is hauntingly beautiful, and it complements the story perfectly. The opening song, "Vermillion" by Miyuki Hashimoto, is captivating and sets the tone for the series.

One of the significant strengths of Okamikakushi is the pacing of the story. It starts slowly, building up the mystery and suspense, and then it ramps up, leaving you on the edge of your seat. The story takes some time to get going and may feel slow in the beginning. However, once it picks up, it becomes impossible to put down.

Okamikakushi: Masque of the Wolf is not for everyone, as it features horror elements that can be intense and unsettling. Some scenes may be too graphic for some viewers. The show tackles difficult themes such as sacrifice, belief, and loss of innocence, which may not be suitable for children.

Overall, Okamikakushi: Masque of the Wolf is a thought-provoking, suspenseful, and thrilling anime that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The story, characters, and soundtrack are exceptionally well done, and the show does justice to the psychological thriller and horror genre. If you enjoy mystery, horror and psychological thrillers with an intricate plot, then Okamikakushi is definitely worth checking out.
