Kakurenbo If you like horror, then buy. Buy watch, re-watch, ingest, become, understand, and love. This is one of the greatest horror anime I have ever seen. Yes, it is creepy, and if you like creepy anime you will love this one. The scares aren't made by being jumpy, like most horror movies, but are made by being there. The ambiance, the mood, the lighting, it's scary because it's scary, not because they jump out of the closet to get you. The characters are amazing, and even though it's kind of short, you get to know them all and either like ot hate them all. The main point, is you get to know them. This couldn't have aired at a better time, it's the perfect holloween anime. I'm going to go play hide and seek right now. Hopefully I'll see ya again. Last updated Sunday, October 30 2005.

Kakurenbo Drama : Med Comedy : None Action : Med SciFi : High Ecchi : None I watched this with one eye for the first 5 minutes. Then after I gave it my full attention, I noticed I missed quite a bit of story setup. (I was at a screening). After the characters started to vanish, I realized I was into a major mystery horror. Watching the last 15 minutes or so I realized it's pretty good. At the end I confirmed it was a very good tale. Why did I mark it watch? Because after you watch it once you do NOT want to watch it again. It's really creepy and not something I want to watch more than once. Last updated Sunday, October 09 2005.
