Had a grin on my face as they were saying that. :P "<em>Guru, guru, guru, guru</em>" "<em>Guru, guru, guru, guru</em>?" Eh, I'll fix the tags in your comment later. I find it amusing. :( @HellKorn: Yeah. Had a grin on my face as they were saying that. :P

Geneon is releasing the Bakeneko DVD in September under the name "Goblin Cat," and I highly, highly suggest that you buy it. Assuming that [i]The Girl Who Leapt Through Time[/i] isn't released by the end of 2007, those three episodes are easily the best anime being put out in North America (yes, I'd say even better than [i]Mushi-shi[/i]). The art direction and cinematography in [i]Mononoke[/i] is amazingly high quality, I'd say up there with [i]Shigurui[/i] for best of the year, even moreso because [i]Mononoke[/i] isn't as alienating and is better for it. The animation is great when it happens, but I'm far more impressed with the camera work -- the way it flies around to gain its dramatic tension to abruptly come to a screeching halt is something that I've not seen in any anime PERIOD, let alone anime series. The first episode is somewhat scary, though where it is lacking in the second episode it is more than made up for in disturbing the viewers. The revelation of what the room is and witnessing an example of its use is simply chilling. And yeah, the druggist is one of the coolest anime characters out there.
