Rofl, Right when I saw the preview for Kakurenbo I thought it would'nt be too long before AS aquired it, and now you got rabid fans running around the office with masks holding up signs that proclaim teh love for AS.

To hell with Kakurenbo, that's a lovely piece of Urusei Yatsura artwork hanging on the wall behind the guy in the mask.

Rainbow-haired Lum, woo-hoo!

*just watched it*
Ah, that was entertaining. Not sure if it warrants a DVD purchase or not though. Neutral

Very cool! These 25 minute one-hit-wonders can really entertain. The perfect length and way too short at the very same time.

I thought it was kinda dull. Didn't spend enough time with the "hero", I think. I didn't really care about him, his sister, or his friend.

Hm, it was interesting. I'd guessed most of the ending not too long into it, but it was still alright. And the animation was pretty.

It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't too great, either. It was way too short, had a boring and uninspired plot, and the characters weren't even interesting. The only thing it had going for it was the choppy CG animation. This isn't even worth renting, so I'm glad AS showed it.

I really enjoyed it, but the whole, "let's take a phrase that children say and turn it into a creepy saying" ("ready or not, here I come!") has been getting a bit old for me. I'm glad I got to see the whole thing this time though; when they showed it at Otakon, the entire first half was messed up by the projector's contrast setting. I could bearly tell the demons apart!
