As with a lot of the anime i watch, i tend to discover them accidently. And often, i am pleasantly surprised, sometimes im not. Im glad to say that this was one of the pleasant accidents. The Demon can't really be called anime, it's more stop motion animation than anytthing. It is very short (under 7 minutes long) but it tells a story that is succinct and pleasing at the same time. The story is that of an old Japanese folk tale, which is animated beautifully. The models and scenery are wonderful. There is no dialog but the musical score tells the story betterthan any words could. It brings to mind the old black and white movies of the 1920's, with all the important plot points being showed on a separate scene to actual short. Id really recommend this. It's great if your short on time but still want to get that anime kick.
