I seriously fell in love with this movies the first time i watched them. They contained all the ingredience to make a perfect movie. A bit of actions, some liters of education, a small hint of romance, a good dose of humour, and some fantasy to top it with, bake it in the dvd player for about 2 hours and in a blink of an eye you have the most unforgetable movie adventures ever.
They quickly captured the top of my favourite movie list.
The movie contains a very good plot, and if you want to learn more about japanese mythology this movie is perfect for you. Since almost 90 % of the charactears are from japanese mythology.
The costumes made for them are incredebly well made, but some of them you can clearly see their just plain plastic. Else they were just splendid, and i still got a problem figuring out if that other "baba" in the secuel movie is a man or a woman playing. Help anyone?^^
Good actors in both of the movies, they all did a very good job in portraing their charactears.
Which i can almost garantee you that you will have at least one favourite charactear at the end of the movies. Personally mine is Kitaro. I didnt quite have anything for Eiji Wentz, but after watching these movies i got to admit i had somekind of school girl crush on him.
Anyway, this movie is definitly worth a watch. Higly reccomend it.
If you like it you got one whole anime series to watch, and manga to read which also exist along with the movies. Which i havent done myself yet, but sooner or later i hopefully will.
By the way got to give you guys a warning. It might just be me having a terrible humour, but watch out for Mr. Ratman. Allmost peed my pants i laughed so hard watching all of his crazyness.
