Space Yokai War

About This Movie

So, 'Space Yokai War' is a really unique piece from 2010. It's Ujicha’s early foray into that 'gekimation' style, which blends animation and horror in such a bizarre way. The pacing is kind of erratic; you get these brief vignettes featuring about ten characters, each facing off against some twisted yokai. The atmosphere is heavy with a sort of eerie, unsettling vibe. The practical effects are fascinating too—there's a rawness to them that really enhances the horror elements. And, I mean, that ending with 'Continued'? It’s deliberately unresolved, which gives it this haunting quality. It makes you ponder what could have been—talking point for sure among collectors.

Interesting exploration of themes like isolation and fear.Unique blend of horror and sci-fi in a short format.Great for discussions on animation styles and practical effects.
