Now I finally get the meaning of Grudge.

Damn that took me a long time!

1:21 Aaaawww! Isn't that a cute little foxy?

Once again just providing some constructive criticism if you ever decide to update this video, or add a third part. Though it's almost four years old now...

Either way great vid.

Two of the pictures at the beginning aren't Oni, one is a Kappa, the other is a Gashadokuro, from the ukio-e "Takiyasha the witch summons the skeleton specter" but this seemes more acceptable since you go through several images at once.

The "well" is attached to one specific yuurei, Okiku, you have two ukio-e pictures of her in there. Obake, is a little more general than that if a "ghost" though im sure ghosts fall under a type of Obake, a more appropriate term might include yuurei or iki ryo.

isnt onee also king? its pronounced similarly but spelled differently, right? i think akuma means demon/devil as well

[everfire]

@InariChannel @InariChannel King in japanesse is usually translated as "ou" or "oh". Oni means demon and onee is a honorific that means "girl" you would use it with -sama to mean young lady or chan or san to refer to an older or younger sister figure.

Akuma is usually translated as "devil" so here you are right. I didn't go into EVERY word or even every kind of demon in Japanese folklore.

Look at a lot of Miyazaki masterpieces and other anime great hits whith a shintoist plot key. Even Ranma 1/2 has a great deal with it. The shinto-buddhist and esoteric lore is the key in Hiroshi Aramata's, and it would be very interesting to see an anime version of Tezuka's "Buddha". And there is also the japanese point of view -or exploitation- of the apocalyptic jude-christian mythology (an bizarre and cyber-punk mix of it could be the Neon Genesis Evangelion, for example)...

[Sapphiregriffin]

wow now everythings a bit clearer..........

[joelx200]

I find it interesting how all world beliefs have some similarities. Such as how every belief seems to have demons and/or devils. DRagons are found in just about every mythology on Earth. Some Japanese monsters or faeries tend to celebrate and dance in a cirlce under the night sky and then vanish (Or so I read). Irish faeries tend to do the same as they dance in circles leaving faerie rings behind. Perhaps all originated from one ancient religion. I shall call it, Stuffing!

[chimeraseven]

Um. What about Mushishi and Mononoke? They're both built entirely around mythology and the supernatural... Still, this is really cool, thanks for sharing!

[everfire]

both of those came out after this video was made. It was posted in 2007. Mushishi came out in 2008. Mononoke came out in 2007 as well, but wasn't finished until 2009. Also I didn't watch either of these until this year.

Thank you for your comments! *smile*

[juk3boxhero]

-_- *yawn* no offense but it needs more jazz so it doesnt make people want to fall asleep very informative... very boring... kinda like those things the teacher shows u that seem to drag on forever and ever and ever...

[everfire]

this was done for a project...yeah...it had to be boring. I was going to add more but my teacher had me cut it out. Also I doubt it could drag on forever as it's barely a few min long. I got what I wanted done across. NOTE: your critism did not help me. you didn't tell me how to make better movies.

[LPfan4life31]

Scary

[Kuukiikuun]
