WOW, that looks incredibly cool. I was curious if anyone had ever made a show that encompassed a lot of the old school folklore creatures... bonus points for it being live action!!
"with multiple slappings of a good-sized mochi" I also had to laugh at this... as just a few days ago I learned about the yearly mochi related deaths and the PSAs about how to remove mochi from your grandfather with a vacuum cleaner. O.O
Looks like a wonderful array of monsters for sure! I have seen lantern monsters like the umbrella one, except the lanters just had teeth instead of an eye.
Toei is soon becoming my favorite animation/production company in Japan (for various reasons before this, and now this).
