I'm looking forward to the bakemono serie! One of my favorite j-rock group have a concept where they are a type of monster and one of them is a kyoncie O.o I wonder if it's some kind of monster in japanese folklore or something

ooo this series sounds fun. yuki onna is my favorite story. it's cool to see the diff. interpretations of it and to see where it pops up. kwaidan is a good movie for ppl to watch. it has a couple stories ppl might find entertaining.

Hehe, I took the "TLA" part out because it would cause confusion, and it didn't really mean what I thought it meant, haha. I'm glad you're excited about the series!

Great News! I read about Obake in a book about Shinto, and it is often refered to them in Japanese movies, like in もののけ姫. However, if you’re not Japanese you usually have no clue about them. (Like me ^^)

I can’t wait for the Obake series. :D

P.S.

What means “TLA”?
