The Eccentric Family - S02

After learning the truth about their father's early death, the four Shimogamo brothers settle back into a quieter life, each trying to live up to his greatness in his own way. The eldest, Yaichirou, who wants to become the next Trick Magister and lead tanuki society, starts by bringing back the popular shogi tournament. Yajirou works on regaining his old shapeshifting abilities, while little Yashirou is happy to keep working at the family factory. But for the third son, Yasaburou, it just means embracing the "fool's blood" he inherited from his father and living a carefree but interesting life. That naturally includes hunting the mysterious, elusive snake-like tsuchinoko and stirring up trouble wherever he goes. Those ripples threaten to become waves, though, when Nidaime returns: the estranged son of the brothers' tengu teacher, Professor Akadama. Nidaime holds a grudge against both his father and his father's apprentice, Benten. With his loyalties suddenly in question, Yasaburou must use his tanuki wit to keep all sides happy without getting caught in the crossfire, before the fragile balance between human, tengu, and tanuki is overturned and everything falls apart.
