After viewing, I was left with the feeling that I was missing something, in a more cultural sense. I thought that the representation of the Yokai was well-done, but I'd like to learn a lot more about the JA fairy tales and legends that they're based on moreso than see the movie again.
Has anyone seen it? |
Not yet, I have seen a couple movies that really feel like a live-action anime but not from Miike yet (remember I said Ichi reminded me of a manga not an anime heh). Netflix has a decent little collection of Miike films, Yokai is in my queue.
