Overall thoughts

For me, I found that this had a number of stories I had and had not heard before. Sadly some of the stories lacked details one might find in other interpretations. If one is looking for an introduction to different Japanese folk stories, this would be a good one to pick up.

The performance was sadly lacking in my opinion. It was mostly flat and had little use of alternative voices for characters. Another thing that caught my attention was the mispronunciation of some of the names. As someone who majored in the language and speaks it, mispronunciation, sadly, always flips a switch for me.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
