Yokai night!
Mar. 18th, 2009 09:18 pmThree things about yokai make a post, right?
First, I posted some time back about Pandemonium and Parade: Japanese Monsters and the Culture of Yokai
, by Michael Dylan Foster, which is a scholarly look at the phenomenon of yokai, or spirits/monsters from Japan.( Read more... )
Second, a couple of weeks ago I was in the bookstore stocking up on later volumes of Naruto for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
reread_no_jutsu, when I came across a manga I'd never heard of called Yokaiden 1
, by Nina Matsumoto. ( Read more... )
Thirdly, I have the blog Hot Fictional GUys on my Bloglines blogroll, and I've been saving this show for a rainy day. Back in January, HFG posted a tribute to the guys of Natsume Yuujinchou, a show about yokai currently airing in Japan. ( Read more... )
Fourth in my list of three things is a manga I bought a while back and never got around to posting about. Ghost Slayers Ayashi Volume 1
( Read more... )
Fifth in my increasingly-inaccurately-named list of three things is Antique Gift Shop, volume 7. ( (no spoilers) )
And now I'm going to go watch episode 2 of Natsume Yuujinchou
* Which has SOLD OUT to THE MAN in order not to get totally sued, which I can't blame them for, and thus brings us cool LEGAL anime now. I shall have to figure out where I left off in watching Bleach and start making googly eyes at my f-list, since I can't get it through Crunchyroll anymore. :)
