I like anime, but it does really cheese me off that(not that it is mentioned at all -which annoys me) there was a need to have an anime orientated video just because we are talking abut japanese mythology. Anime is everywhere even in classical pieces unrelated to it, moderation guys.....

@rehanabey Actually and your right this should be in the title, the project was supposed to be Japanese mythology in anime. It was a more narrow focus. It also why some of the more commonly known Japanese myths such as the creation myth were omitted, as I have not seen an anime depicting them.

At 2:13. done by the vocaloids, a song called "circle you, circle you" or "kagome,kagome" that tells actually the story of another japanese myth, (by the way, what vid did you use for thst scene? If you remember. :)

@SasuNaruCrazy1 I believe that is from "tactics". Your right and actually I love that myth.

..as buddhist monks.

The bird tengu are called Karasu tengu, and the long nose tengu are called Yamabushi tengu.

^_~ Just a little information/ constructive criticism. I really like your video. Mind if I make a response video?

[everfire]

@abenoseimei89 I didn't understand some of these things at the time, and also because I was using very old source material (only books) that was not focused on just Japanese mythology.

I would love if you made a response, but be prepared that I may respond to that myself with the new information that I have acquired since.

[XVeriandomNess]

I loved how you focused more on the Possitive sides of japan than the negative sides of japan.

I am planning on moving there when im older.

i told my parents about it and they said

"i dont know why you want to live there. the hotels are crouded"

@abenoseimei89 So sorry for the late response. This video was actually old even when it was posted ( I made it when I was just entering high school) and I'm actually thinking of removing because of how embarrassing it is to see. The only reason I haven't so far is because I like to allow people to see this as a example of where I once was. That being said, some of the information in here is not as well explained, and others are wrong as you have noted. This is partially because...

I myself have been to Tokyo and loved it. I went to the Studio Ghibli museum for a day and it was the best day of my entire life. I also get how Japanese religion affects anime. My final for drawing class was based on a Japanese painting. I think it was called '1000 Demon Parade' or something like that. A few animes I have seen have weird demon parades or parades of possessed objects (Tsukumogami.) See Pom Poko and Paprika to see these animated parades for yourself.
