>>420986 Experimental animation doesn't get much love nowadays sadly. The culture around it is niche. I would love to have this movie and similar ones torrented more instead of the usual bland otaku FOTM shows Japan television has nowadays.
The last movie Karakasa was yuribait with the medicine seller taking a step back from the front of the stage. Here's hoping Hinezumi shoves him back into the limelight, it seems we are both waiting for the bluray, that'll be a few months.
>>421018 Yea, not sure how I feel about 2/3 of the screentime going to yuribait. I'm still willing to sit through it because the art style is so damn good.
>>421038 The graphical style was overwhelming, they might have took it too far in a few places. I managed to relate to the story in a personal way since i too have thrown precious items down a well so those feels weren't lost on me. Maboi does show up in style at one point, i gave the film a passing grade.
Chan discussion about this anime has grown difficult to find. Once all 3 films are available then mark my words Anonymous will remember Mononoke. Post your Favorite Play. - For me it's Umi-Bozu of course.
>>421045 I think Noppera-bō is the only truly esoteric short story requiring external knowledge of Nô to understand what's going on. Because it stands out and people don't get it then it might unfortunately feature at the bottom of a few lists. >ayakashi was 19 years ago Cursed, tokihanats- my shit up.
>>421044 >graphical style was so overwhelming It was barely more than the original series. The episodes with the sea monster were easily just as wacky with their visual effects. >Post your Favorite Play Bakeneko. The first one, from Ayakashi.
>>420987 Experimental anything never gets popular love but it rides off the back of their industry. I'm almost glad for these boring cookie cutter anime, which were ever present no matter the time period. Look at Sci-fi Harry or .hack//SIGN aping the fuck out of the vulnerable young boy trope from Evangelion during the early 2000s. I think only people who have watched too much anime and seen all the perfect gems are left to seek the peculiar gems. Have you tried Sonny Boy or Pet? While not interesting visually they might entertain you as both are hidden gems of the modern times.
