| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- While it was a little slow for my taste, I did like all the freaky stuff going on (like that guy getting covered in darkness). That stomach-worm was disgusting though. |

| the villain is like Bison from Street Fighter ... |
| ^Yeah Bison was based on Kato. I absolutely love this; oldschool occult/demon horror that's really atmospheric, sinister and surreal. Can see a big Kawajiri influence in the deep, bold colours and silhouetting. ~ I've actually got the earlier live-action adaptation and it's totally different; I think Kato's snatch of Yukari at the end here happens in the first ten minutes or so there, much prefer this pacing. Don't think it's much of a spoiler (as it doesn't even figure into the story in this) but in the film Yukari's chosen because she and her brother are descendents of Masakado (which is kinda confusing considering a later female character). There's barely any focus on their twisted sibling relationship in the film; her brother's even the hero! What's really missing in the anime is Kato's awesome female sidekick but I think it manages with the occult scenes well enough without her. Kato's seiyu is the same guy who played him in the film iirc. |
