Found incorrect info?



















A great opportunity to touch the Japanese classics and their very unusual folklore.
All the stories are very dark, about human sins and weaknesses, so the anime came out very gray, heavy, dragging. It often puts pressure on the psyche and makes you think. It's very interesting to watch really unusual thoughtful things, and even so realistically drawn (I'm talking about graphics, because the action itself is very unrealistic).
Thank you so much for the Story of an Incomplete Man arc, after all, I read the book and watched the movie – I really love this story. Although I rather really love this hero, who was so beaten up by life and did this to this life.…
I'm pleasantly surprised that I came across this thing.
