  • Wow, I loved it, deliciously creepy.

  • i think this movie is dan greens best work yet :)

  • The storyline is built on the idea that Tokyo is losing its natural aesthetic, which includes child's games such as hide and seek in order for industrial progress to ensue i.e. lighting the city of Tokyo costing innocence of childhood games.

  • Soul harneses on kids.... that sounds like a good way of getting rid of annoying brats and transforming there wasted energy into something usefull.

  • I need that song from the end.

  • That crazy! Why use kids to light up the city. Who is the parents of these children. What the point of lighten up a city with no people...Crazy movie

  • @joliyavalentine I've been trying to understand it myself, it just doesn't make sense. But on the other hand it is very entertaining to watch.

  • @joliyavalentine Its weird yah but i think (but highly doubt) it might have something to do with that Frost poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" about how when were children everything is happy and golden, mabye gold like the neon lights. Idk it seems like alot of interpretation for a short anime film so i kinda doubt it o.o

  • Where is the wiki for this animea

  • This Show Left Me Like this -> O:

  • I think this story has lots of potential. I'd love to know more of the back story- possibly see how his sister was taken in the first place. I'd like to know more about how those twins got involved and what happened later. I mean- what would happen if one of the players took off their mask? It says in the rules you need to have it on to play- and at no moment did they ever remove their masks. It be cool if maybe the demons couldn't see them without them! What if all 7 got to home free?

  • man this movie is fuck up

    numba 1) if you hear ''No return Kids Disappear Never Came Back'' and worst of all ''Demon Snatchers'' Ill be like ok im staying living my life you go on Ill miss you and pray for you this is the last we see each other Soo yeah .-. the truth

  • "Ready or not..!.........Here I come...."

    Most fucked up quote of the movie, considering what happened.

  • Damn, I couldn't really hear the last sentence before the mega-zoom out at 3:34. Now you...? Look it?

  • @Fugiar Now you're It.

  • so if you win you live after being a demon for a turn.... hmmm wtf

  • Who's the last body they show?

    Btw, This movie is friggin fantastic.

  • @zombiesquirrels8D It was Hikarua.

  • Wow, 2:21 The twins look totally badass. Even after their utter defeat.

  • Nice---they should make a sequel

  • I like this part

  • i watched this at night TT.TT

  • They should have shown the fight between the twins and the demons

  • @lilybug216 IKR!? But they probably didn't show it to prove that they did not stand a chance.

  • Won*

  • @snowlily3 its the fatty and the last one that one is the 5th demon

  • Who wants to play okitoa with me in it

  • I love this movie but it scares the shit out of me lol

  • Doesn't seem like anyone noticed, but it's the fat kid that was the first battery for the new game. Prolly Karma. Love this story. I'm also thinking everyone comes out of it with no memory, and the game just plays over and over again, Thus the missing tower and only one kid. (fatty)

  • @Carnivalis Actually, I think its a new city.......

    ......its spreading 0.o.

    I remember this so long ago, I looked it up on a whim..... and I'm hooked! XD

  • That must be where Vegas gets all of it's light.

  • I've always loved this movie. This is how it's done, none of this super gore stuff, just plain pure psychological horror.

  • I've always loved this movie. This is how it's done, none of this super gore stuff, just plain psychological horror.

  • @MstrPerez0 that one demon that could fly probably would have snatched his ass out the sky

    

  • I heard that there is a real life game called onigokko... where the person who is it is the "Oni"

  • To be honest with you, I don't really understand this minimovie.. xD

  • @LeonieBruce Its about Tokyo losing its natural aesthetic such as Hide and Seek in order for Industrial progress to ensue. At least that's what Wiki says.

  • why it is short

  • plz talk creepier. I dont think i pissed myself enough with your counting.

  • I love this anime but I still hate dubs

  • The game of Otokoyo sounds like it could be.... FUN....

  • @rehashreversal I think it could be too.... other than the fact you get killed playing this game.

  • im abit confused about the ending

  • ah, so it was the kid called boss that became the light of the new otokoyo game.

  • @MstrPerez0 That would also be suicide.. :\

  • i want a ringtone of the part where she sayz " come play hide and seek with me " hehehe... soooo.. f**kin wicked !

  • Where can I get a mask like that?

  • @xXskrillXkillXx ebay its basically a Kitsune mask. you can also make one

  • holly crap that was cool

  • Who'll play hide and seek with me?

  • @xXxSourxJanexXx I WILL!!!!!

  • @juggalopsychokilla lets go:)

  • Was the character at 5:09 his sister, or his best friend (maybe even himself)? Also since he obtains the same type of eyes as the twins does that mean, they could have been winners once before? Anyway on the twins profile it did say they had a dark past, and in a city filled with demons it couldn't get any darker then that x[).

  • @archangel9999z i think it was the fat kid who threw a stick at the demon (it had the same gold teeth)

  • pure awesomeness :)

  • i got so meny questions o.o 1.why do people love the twins so much? they hed like 20 seconds in all the movie and they seid nothing... 2.whet hapnnes to thet guys sister? and 3.how come it ends like this?....it looks like an uncomplete movie/anime

  • @mimi565657 ok first people love the twins because..well...they look badass and they apparently died fighting, second that demonic kid was his sister and apparently she was the one who won the last hide and seek game and now she is dead(most likely) and the new demon kid is the brother......i hope your post wasnt a retorical question cuz then ill look like captain obvious >_>

  • @urinalturd Going on what you're saying~ This movie implies, in order to progress technologically we must sacrifice the beauty of natural things ie: A child's innocence.

    Think of the demons as business corporations. The children are the costs to keep them running and strong~

  • @HiruRyu .........what? i thought it was a story about why you shouldn't play games with demons :D

  • @urinalturd Well even now a days the highest form of evil can be seen as corporate fat cats personified so...I guess yes, don't ever play games with demons~

  • lol just what im watching is in the suggestions bar (higurashi) not the satoko's tortue part though this film is not scary compared to the anime i have seen like higurashi no naku koro ni or elfen lied 0.o

  • this game reminds me of gantz and how tottaly unfair and overwhelmingly hard it is to win or at least SURIVIVE! like honestly i cant imagine myself winning at either of these games!

  • so they use the taken kids energy as power to light up the village and the winner becomes the "it"~luring other kids as the previous ones get used up and maybe eventually die...it's a death game w/no survival....FREAKY^^

    ,,the last part,,the kid used body was used up to light the blinking thingy was probably sorincha and when the new game ends,,hikora will take her place..

  • so they use the taken kids energy as power to light up the village and the winner becomes the "it"~luring other kids as the previous ones get used up and maybe eventually die...it's a death game w/no survival....FREAKY^^

  • Only 3 parts???? thought its long

  • The twins seriously remind me of princess mononoke !!! O.o

  • not bad bu ..i dont get it ...mind f****

  • I do believe China would very much approve of this ending.

    Other then that, great short and creepy film

  • Thanks for the post lmao crazy game

  • ...in which I will have nightmares for the next two weeks. x_X

  • what happens to the winner of the last game if he's it now? does she go free?

  • that girl looks fukkin sikk in demon form

  • thanks for posting, i was searching this anime for a long time and now i found it :-) i still love it!!! thanksalot!!!

  • wow...that was lame.

    Oh well at least I can say I watched it XD

  • @PikachuDream actually i think the makers intended it to be fantasy, like a bad dream rather than a horror movie. Yup, it really seems like a dream to me.

  • For those whom think this is not scary. Its more psychological then screams and jumps scary to me. Which I like. I liked this, thanks for the upload. ^_^

  • it's not that it was scary, it's the sound effects that get me. and the fact that i'm watching this at 12:52 am in the dark....♥

  • how come none of those kids took any guns or bombs with them? it's not like there was any weapons searching at the front gate.

  • @DruggyP Uh... because most young children don't have ready access to firearms or explosives? In fact, isn't this supposed to take place in Japan? I believe they outlawed civilian ownership of firearms.

  • @DruggyP lol xD you're retarded :/ what kind of kid carries around guns these days hmm specially ones from japan

  • i haven't seen this since i was twelve i startrd thinking about it rhe other day and couldn't rember the name all i rembered were demons,hide and seek and fox masks just not the name till i found it wooit

  • awesome! thanks for uploading!

  • What did I just watch...?

    e-e;;

  • awsome movie it kind of creeped me out but i liked it =D

  • the demons aren't afraid of the dark. How could they be? They were all sleeping until the game started, they probably sleep the entire time until there are children to catch.

  • I know tat but the child who was last it i wonder wat happens to them

  • i wonder wat happens to the kid who was last it...do they go home or do they end up with the same fate as the other children?...maybe they get to tell there story then die? but idk...

  • @vampypryo Everyone can choose to play the game of Otokoyo. /If/ you play, you will either get caught or win and become the oni. You don't /have/ to play the game of Otokoyo.

  • dont get to ten, dont get to ten!

    STOP COUNTING DAMMIT!

  • the twins are my total fave!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • now what if kids stop comming? or takes of their mask during the game. or commits suicide or leave O.o. i know if i were in that situation i would probably oh what am i sayin i dont know what i would do.

  • Cool. I wish I could be It. X3 lol

    That was a pretty good movie.

  • love this movie. But it seems like the demons are afraid of the dark for some reason. Get em a nitelight

  • I wish I could have an mp3 of the song at the end- the one that continues on through the credits!<3

  • Oh god now I know why I was so scared of this as a kid. When Yaiman screams.. oh god it sends shivers up my spine..

  • Oh.It's finished.

    LOLWUT?!

    I had allready planned the ending here! (does that all the time)

    Hikura Finds out that the demon is his sister,and that he becomes the next demon,but in the end,surpresses that power and saves all the kids! (Then again,it would be totally lame)

  • ending is f up but i use to love this movie been forever since i watch it

  • here's the Wiki on this Anime if anyone's Curious

  • The twins and the girl rule!!!

  • The girl reminds me of me..wuwahahhaha..no Literaly! The erriness!

  • her voice... GOOD GAWD that is terrifying

  • what is it with cell shading and faces?

  • I didn't get the ending at all before. And I wondered what it met for years.

    But when you think about how the kids are used to light the city using their life force, and the kid's light just went out....

    Yeah, that makes the ending a lot more clear!

  • Great. Now everytime I hear a creepy disembodied voice counting to 10, I'm running like a bat out of hell. Fuck it...I'm OUT.

  • wat r the twin's names???

  • @jwhitewolf8 Inmu and Yanku

  • @jwhitewolf8 Inmu and Yanku

  • y r demons in tat town soulnt the u.s take care of this? and if the demons wanted light they could have bought a lamp or come out when ist day time

  • @ZeeLemonHead but then it wouldnt be fun. besides if the U.S tried to destroy it it would only anger the demons and that wouldnt be a pretty picture

  • that was epic!! loved it.

    though it's quite a sudden change from watching a happy series like aria to seeing this~

  • child labor at it's finest(lol)

  • I think I now remember why I said this was the only anime that had ever scared me. It's the ending that gives me the chills!!

    Always hated that game, always will!

  • WHATS THE POINT OF THIS TOWN!!! no one lives in it and the beginning clearly stated adults said not to go near it!! So its a demon hotspot and the people allow it to be??? Well they don't know cuz only kids play it.....so yeah...ugh

  • you have to remember the movie is a short movie lasting less than 30 mins. not really much time for character expansion or development.

    its about one directors unease at the industrialization of tokyo at the expense of childrens innocence.

  • I freaken love this movie! ^^

  • They did'nt really give the twins a roll in this movie. The movie was good but, it could have been much better.

  • i agree

  • the thing i like the most about this short animation movie is the background. i find the forest of tall old buildings that form a dark labyrint very creepy. it would be the perfect location for horror movies.

  • NOT THE TWINS AND YAIMAO! D:

  • @xRegretfulLovex My thoughts exactly lmao those twins look like they fought some demon tail.....and did anyone wonder why he didn't say no?

    when she took off her mask black with yellow eyes.....nightmares, anyone?

  • Hey, what happened to Yaimao at 2:59? Was he like, stabbed or something?

  • It looks like their life force was being drained to light up the city. So the demons have to keep hunting little kids and using them as batteries.

  • What happens to the girl that was previously it? and why couldn't he just reject being it?

    and who started it anyways?

  • That's what I was wondering! : D

  • @Squallandboco1 I don't think the winner actually got much of a choice... What with all exits being blocked by four demons, with another one in the form of his sister not a foot from him, that could totally tear him to pieces if he even said the word 'um...' xD

  • @Squallandboco1 I'm guessing Oshiro-sama (it, the oni, the Fox) started it, since he -with the form of Sorincha- knows the games rules a lot better

  • I love this movie, but it's so much better in Japanese. Well, to me anyways... cause it sounds more creepy. XD;

  • man thta is a scary game but once your it dont you have teh chioce to leave? AND he shoudl have lost cuase he was found by the demons to liek his friends so how do you know you won?

  • The game keeps going on. The winner of the game wears the oni, or demon mask and lures other kids to play. Once the children die, the town doesn't have enough energy to light up. That's why the winner of the game must lure more kids into Demon City.

  • They should just get duracell :D -shot for the joke-

  • or the energizer bunny XD

  • What happends do the previous kids who were it?

  • It depends. They can either leave or play again.

  • i saw this on adult swim a few years ago... i thought of it today cause its halloween and all lol... i might have to share this with my friends tonight!

  • man i will never see hide and seek the same way again *shivers*

  • Who is the kid at 5:08?

  • that boy's (who was lookin for his sis) best friend

  • thats him, i wish they would of made it easier to to tell but it worked none the less.

  • actually i may be wrong because my friend said it was the fat kid. when they show all of the kids strapped to the machines you notice the fat kid not there. plus you can tell by lookin at their fox mask. their mouths are totally different. it made sense to me but idk they're all dead in the end anyways

  • @Shinobifuji well the fat kid may have just got eaten because he was rude to the demons instead of being humble....fatty

  • That was Yaimao, Hikora's best friend.

  • i forgot his name, but at 5:08 that would be the fat kid,

    you know the bully.

  • Comment removed

  • lolz i think i only watch this movie during October. Ever since I first saw it all those years ago. Ah! This movie is amazing never gets tiring its really good. xO

  • heard that!

  • Just the other day I was thinking about this movie. Ever since I fist saw it all those years ago. So yea thanks for like making my day.

  • I first saw this movie on adult swim (I think) when I was 9. I finally found this yesterday. I have one question for anyone, why where the twins' (players, not demons) eyes red and black like that? Thanks for letting me see this. I LOVED IT!!!

  • Wow. Amazing movie. Too bad it's not longer. If they had taken the time to develop the characters and draw out all the suspense and everything it would have been the best movie ever. I wish I could find a subtitled version on YouTube, though, just to hear the creepy counting, haha.

    The only thing I'm wondering is... if everyone gets taken at the end, how do people still know about the game? "If there are no survivors, where do the stories come from?"

  • The 5th demon or the child who is currently "it" tells the story to children to lure them into playing. The last scene showed the boy as a demon just like his sister was because she won last time.

  • that girl's voice kinda freaks me out O.o

  • Actually.. the winner is taken too. You can see his body when the "it" takes the appearance of the winner and starts the new game. As for the "it" Its the 8th player, but really just the 5th demon. It says 7 kids are needed. And theyre there... but so is the demon.

  • @YuraNamikaze but so is the demon....perfect ending lmao

  • OooH. So there has to be 7 players but 8 players are really needed. And the "IT" is the 5th demon. And the town is dark. So to have brightness. They kind use rituals. So the 6 players caught are used as energy sources. And the winner will be the one to continue the game. Thus, allowing the ritual/game to be played over and over again and supplying the towns energy/light.

  • wow your smart..i ddnt get it only a bit. :D

  • This movie is so scary! D8 And supsenseful! But ah loves it! XD Poor Dan Green at the end tho D8!

  • i remember watching this when i was little , it creeped me out.

  • I remember watching this as a kid, ITS WHAT GOT ME INTRESTED IN ODD THINGS

  • this is very similar to the matrix.

  • I have my own theory how this game works. Maybe when a new game comes along and doesn't have enough players, they realise randomnly some of the battery kids. It would explain the twins glowing the same color as the guy at the end. Dunno if that made sense. And dude I would SO want to play this.

  • I think when a new game comes along they leave the fifth demon with all the players that havent been tageted by a demon and when they're down to their last player he/she will become a demon but your theory is closer than mine

  • The same reason people ghost hunt, do acid, and ride rollar coasters. The thrill.

  • damn it i remember me watching this in 9th grade then me coming to school and obsess over it. Damn its such a good little short

  • This was a pretty good movie! Too bad it was so short...

  • horrible

  • if i was going 2 play this i carry 10 grenade ,2 9mm (guns) 50 shells a flamethrower and a rocket launcher

  • @animepunk007 hehehe. I'll hire the SAS to follow me, ensure that all of them are equipped with LMGs :)

  • the kids organs are used to light up the town until they die of starvation, thats why it doesnt last long, and inside their heads their playing hide and seak over and over again but this time their the demons in the game of Otokoyo

  • @slave2thegame I never understood that last part, I always guessed it was just like he was it and was chasing down new kids, didn't notices that the ones who run to hide were the others who were caught.

  • @ShadowSoldior In the end the other kid's powers were used up so the fox demon recruited more kids through otokoyo again.
