  1. Check out a few of the movies featued in this video:
    Hotarubi no Mori e [Limited Release] [Blu-ray]
    Yokai Monsters: Spook Warfare
    A Letter to Momo

  2. The title is misleading seeing as you’re including folklore alongside mythology… I would personally give each their own list, as there are differences between the two.
