Why you should really listen to your parents
There are days when I'm just not in the mood to follow a series. When a quick anime fix is all I need to get me through the day or week. Enter the short film.
"Kakurenbo" by Shuuhei Morita fits this bill. The movie is about a group of children playing hide-and-seek in an abandoned city. They all wear masks.
One of the characters is a boy named Hikora whose sister, Sorincha, disappeared while playing said game. I can't remember how long she's been missing though. Hikora thinks by participating in the game, he will find her.
But he will realize this particular hide-and-seek game comes with a sinister twist.
It's not a bad short film and actually won several awards.

What were your thoughts on the speed racer movie?
I really enjoyed the original series but didn't get to see the new movie that came out.

What did you think of the Speed Racer movie?
I have been out of it for a while, but really enjoy j-anime. I see "Speed" on Hulu. Let me know your thoughts on the mov""
Martha,
I must admit I never even finished an episode of the anime. The animation is too dated for me plus I was never a big fan of racing cartoons with the exception of "Wacky Racers."
The reviews I read about the movie panned it so I steered clear. Even a matinee ticket is $8 nowadays.
Yes I did. Saw it the first weekend it came out and I really liked it.
Anything furry and cute that can still karate chop baddies gets my vote.
