Oni: La leyenda del dios del trueno

The story is beautifully written, with great meaning for everyone (child or grown up).

So great to see quite a few references to other wonderful anime films! A must-see for any anime/studio Ghibli fan!

It's beautifully directed and acted. I don't want to give away any spoilers but the ending was quite emotional for me. There is a beautiful lesson, as you would find in any Japanese tale.

Highly recommended viewing. You must watch all four episodes at once, you will not be able to leave the mini series without getting to the end.

Enjoy this beautiful story with stunning animation. I can't wait to see more productions from this studio!

Beautiful art & beautiful story.

Simple story with great characters, about finding something wonderful that is unique to every child, but also a story of a father and daughter.

Nice character development, pace is great, nothing too slow or too fast, everything is just right. Only 4 episodes so can be finished in 1 or 2 sittings.

Again, the visual style is just amazing. It's a mixed style of CG animation with stop motion style that somehow really works well for telling this story.

Highly recommend this to anyone with a kid, or someone who's into good animation, or like japanese mythic tales, or just someone looking out a good wholesome story.

This is such a lovely story of self discovery and dealing with internalized feelings of fear and self doubt. I appreciate the art style and mix of tradition with modernism. Please watch this while you still can. It's a great series for the family to enjoy and a bit of a tear jerker towards then.

The character development and pace is great. Nothing is shown to fast, they don't leave questioned unanswered. Just simple sweet and wholesome. I love the diversity of this film between human struggles and the struggles of the mythical creatures.

This is one of Netflix's gems that comes along every so often.

This is one of the best things I have ever seen.. And I am an adult too.

But lets talk about the 1 strike against it. That film grain. What on earth were they thinking. Why add it? There must have been some kind of visual interference throughout the show and they were trying to cover it up? In some scenes it looks like it flip flops between 2 different film grains...and these scenes are hard to watch. I actually could NOT watch these scenes. Which in grand total i counted about 3 or 4 and each lasted a minute or 2..So overall not bad..But man oh man. It could give people seizures.

So despite this 1 big strike against the show, I hope you give it a shot. I also hope they fix this problem in the future.

This is a primal story. Though children will get it and enjoy it - it is also a tale for all. The story gives truth and is told well.

The access points of the story are Japanese mythic characters, nature, and the task of childhood learning about one's role in the world. The need for children to come into their own gifts seems to be better addressed in this setting. It is taken seriously and yet is situated amidst the delight of Japanese aesthetics - weaving play, wonder, movement, surprise, natural delight and suspense.

The revelational parts of the story are many and led me to really examine my species. Is humanity really worth it? I think the answers offered in the story- though simple, within its dynamics really do take.

I appreciated the tender work the story made on my own wrestling match with "us-them" dynamics. The story though Japanese in its main form, is itself a testimony to diversity - including its international support team.

This is a potent story for me. Thank you for telling it. I thank and honor the tellers of this story- all of them.
