Kazamatsuri is a city built on the idea that civilization and nature can live in sync, but its calm is unsettled as the Harvest Festa approaches. The festival feels like a giant communal fair that doubles as a city wide investigation into ideas and stories. Kotarou Tennouji, a writer chasing fresh angles for his articles, heads into the festival zones to gather material. The town buzzes with chatter about sightings of strange creatures and a string of occult occurrences whispered in cafes and on street corners. Bizarre incidents begin to touch Kotarou personally, pulling him toward mysteries he never expected. An undertow of secrets grows as the chatter sharpens, hinting dangers beyond the festival.

Released in 2016, the show is the brainchild of Kai, Romeo Tanaka and Motoki Tanaka. Masakazu Morita voices Kotarou Tennouji, with Eri Kitamura, Chiwa Saito, Kana Hanazawa and Risa Asaki rounding out the main cast, and the animation team bringing a polished look.

No major awards are listed for this title. While the cast includes well known names, there are no documented Oscar, Emmy or Golden Globes nominations tied to this particular 2016 project.

In terms of cultural footprint the show sits on the fringe, with a small but loyal following rather than mainstream memorability. There are no iconic quotes or widely known scenes that have spilled into broader pop culture. Its niche status attracts viewers who seek offbeat ideas.

Reception is mixed, with a 5.1 out of 10 from 19 votes. The show juxtaposes a city that aims to harmonize progress with nature against a pull toward the unknown. Harvest Festa heightens rumors and occult hints while Kotarou contends with unsettled personal clues. The show leans toward brisk pacing and a mystery driven vibe rather than heavy exposition.
