So I just watched
The Great Yokai War.
It was the first time that I have seen what feels like a live-action anime (that doesn't have terrible costumes). I thought that the movie was - OK. Good JA kids fantasy movie, but ran a little long and got a little ridiculous at time. But, overall, it was interesting to see Miike doing a kids movie.
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?
