Oihan Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Anyone ever heard of this anime? I just recently saw a commercial for the anime that's to air on Saturday on Adult Swim. Any thoughts/opinions on it? Quote
zeo-mare Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 i also saw the commercial a couple of weeks back, i have never seen or heard of it before, but it looked pretty good, the animation looked top notch so i will definetly be checking it out. chris Quote
Oihan Posted October 30, 2005 Author Posted October 30, 2005 (edited) It said it was supposed to air on Saturday but I check the TV guides and it says 4am Sunday morning. Have I already missed the first airing of Kakurenbo and the one on Sunday morning is the second airing? Edited October 30, 2005 by Oihan Quote
zeo-mare Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 hi it just came on over here in MA, it was on from Midnight to 12:30 so you might have missed it, i do not know if it is going to be on every week. it was pretty good the animation was quite good and the story was neat, i hope you get a chance to see it. chris Quote
DARKWIND Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Very good indeed, it was well worth catching. Quote
reddsun1 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 (edited) Just saw this last night. Is it a stand alone ep, or a series? Needless to say, the animation was nothing short of awesome. It appeared to me that the vast majority of the animation was done using CG and cel-shading [can anyone clarify a little on just what cel-shading entails? Is it merely using a color palette that matches hand drawn/painted cels?] The demons were friggin creepy [child taker and blood taker rocked]! That, in combination with the dark, clausterphobic backdrop of the alleyways made for a great "suspense-horror" atmosphere to the story. Can someone give a little clarity as to the nature of "demons" in Japanese culture? Am I correct when I gather that in Japanese lore, demons are much closer to "mortal," i.e. they can die using more conventional methods [swords, etc.], albeit much much harder to kill than mere mortals? as opposed to Western cultures' placing them amongst the "supernatural," i.e. can't kill 'em without envoking spiritual/religious ceremonies, etc., like ghosts?

Yang_Neumann Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Just popping in for the first time in months. Thought I'd fill you in on this title-better late than never: 1. It is an OAV. 2. Story, character design and animation done by single person (Think "Voices of a Distant Star", only this guy was using a professional studio as opposed to creating the anime on his home computer). 3. It is available on DVD from Central Park Media. Quote
