So I was walking through Blockbuster looking for something to watch and stumbled across this. there doesn't seem to be to much out there about it right that I can find. So far I think its just a 3 part anime movie, but on the extras part of the cd it shows something for an advertisment for a tv show. has anyone seen it or heard of it? so far the first dvd was pretty good it was hard to grasp what was going on at first since I really didn't know what it was about but once it get 1/4 to 1/2 way through you understand whats going on and it gets very interesting, at first I thought I jumped right into the middle of an ongoing movie but it doesn't seem to be, I think its the 1st dvd in the set.
Director Keiichi Sato, who also conceived the show, explains that in the world of Karas, human and yokai coexist. The yokai are traditional Japanese apparitions-akin to the bathhouse customers in Spirited Away-that are invisible to humans. In each city, a yokai takes the form of a young governing priestess, and upon her command, “someone is sent out to preserve the balance between humans and yokai-that someone is there Karas.” To maintain status quo, they either heal or mete out punishment on either side where necessary
So go rent it and tell me what you think about it. or find it online and tell me where it is so I can watch the rest of the movies.
*ok its a series, I found this site that talks more in depth, if anyone is interested.
