What We Know About Moko

(last updated 9/17/24!)

Tomoko Noge, codename Moko, is a second-year at Kokatsu Academy in class 2D. She and her best friend, Motoha Arai, both have an interest in baseball, and were in a little league together when they were younger. She joins the team as a “Phantom Idol”, or cognitive teammate.

A separate, summer event version of Tomoko was added in Version 2.1.2, and has a separate post documenting her combat information. Note that Summer Tomoko cannot be on the same active team as Moko.

Previously, in the second beta, her codename was “Kotomo”, however, it was changed to Moko from the third beta onward.

Her Japanese voice actress is Satomi Akesaka.

Tomoko is a Confidant of Wonder’s, available to start after Tomoko's return to school. Her Confidant focuses on her trying different part time jobs with Wonder, in an attempt to figure out what she wants to do now that she can't play baseball anymore. Kotone Montagne appears during it, and Tomoko recognizes and relates to her, wanting to get to know her. More information about Tomoko’s Confidant can be found here.

Tomoko is first relevant in the plot when Wonder sees she dropped her train pass and returns it to her, though she then continues to be relevant as Motoha’s friend who gets scouted for a baseball tryout. She also develops a bit of a crush on Wonder, to her own admittance, though she says it's mostly an admiration of him.

However, shortly after Wonder and Ruferu begin exploring the first Palace, belonging to Takeyuki Kiuchi, the real-world Kiuchi sees Motoha and Tomoko at the train station and attempts to attack Motoha. Tomoko sees what he’s doing, and takes the blow for Motoha, getting knocked over the guard rail and onto the train tracks. She ends up needing to be hospitalized.

Her injury means she can no longer play as a baseball catcher, which causes her to become extremely dejected and hopeless during her hospital stay, to Motoha’s dismay. This ends up motivating Motoha to agree to changing Kiuchi’s heart, despite the possible risks involved.

Correlating with when Wonder, Motoha, and Ruferu open the next area of Mementos, she mentions suddenly feeling the desire to do something, and returns to school after Kiuchi’s change of heart and recovering from her injuries. Ruferu says this is because her desires were returned to her.

Tomoko’s role seems to loosely parallel Shiho’s in the original P5. Motoha and Ann draw a similarity between the two (and their own motivations to avenge their friends) in the P5 Collab.

Tomoko is quieter than Motoha, but not to the point of shyness, and she's no less passionate about baseball. She has little difficulty approaching the protagonist and talking to him despite her crush (though she does get nervous when Motoha more directly tries to push her towards Wonder), and asks him to work part-time jobs with her during her Confidant because she feels more at ease having him there than she would alone.

While Tomoko ultimately seems to be sad about baseball getting taken away from her, she's also enthusiastic about the jobs she and Wonder try, and is always looking for more things to try wherever they go. She seems to take this as a chance for a new experience, rather than solely a bad thing.

She also doesn’t seem insecure about her role as Motoha’s best friend, though we haven’t really seen her interacting in-depth with anyone besides Motoha and the protagonist. She jokingly apologizes to Wonder for “stealing” Motoha at one point when Motoha drops everything to visit her, instead of Motoha’s original plans with Wonder (visiting Takemi's clinic for the first time).

When Motoha and Wonder are planning to talk to Tomoko's classmate Shun Kanou, Motoha actually texts Tomoko to ask her if Shun came to class today, and Tomoko seems to have at least an idea of Shun's habit of eating lunch alone. Though there’s been no indication that Tomoko knows about what they’re doing as phantom thieves, Motoha does seem to rely on her intel. Tomoko also uses her good awareness of her surroundings while working part-time jobs with Wonder (and one of her Confidant rewards is based around it), crediting it to her time as a baseball catcher.

The above is supported by her profile, which has been translated as “She has a calm personality, outstanding observation skills, and is used to taking the initiative to take care of those around her. As a baseball catcher, she won various championships with Motoha when she was young, and she is full of confidence in her strength on the field.”

Moko's Persona Prosymna (based on a naiad who nursed Hera, alongside her sisters) is categorized as a Psychokinesis type, and resists Psychokinesis while being weak to Curse.

Prosymna is a Superior Persona, meaning she’s good at buffing teammates and improving their effectiveness. Her trait gives her four "green leaves" at the start of combat, and another every other round, which she uses for skills. She has a psychokinesis attack skill that damages all enemies and gives her two green leaves, a support skill that costs two green leaves to buff a teammate's attack, and a status skill that costs two green leaves to increase the next damage an enemy takes, with a chance of putting them to sleep. Her passive skills increase the damage dealt by a teammate when she casts a spell on them, and increase the damage done by all teammates to enemies with mental status conditions.

In combat, her melee weapon is dual daggers (though she can also use Summer Tomoko’s fairy sticks), while her ranged weapon is a bow. Her Highlight is shown from 0:09 - 0:20 in this video, and it increases the next damage the target receives, with a high chance of putting them to sleep.

Her recommended card sets are 1) 4 of Coins (Power) + Queen of Cups (Trust), 2) 3 of Cups (Abundance) + Queen of Cups (Trust).

The game recommends teaming her up with 1) Joker.

Gundam Concierge Haro (AKA Gundam mascot "Hello") by Bandai Namco, Tokyo, Japan (2017). The "Hello" robot, demonstrated at CEATEC 2017, is based on the robot mascot of the Mobile Suit Gundam science fiction anime franchise (fifth image). The robot answers questions, and is voiced by Satomi Arai. "The unique-looking communication robot has LED-installed eyes and ears that move. Speak to Haro and it will respond by conversing in Japanese as well as wobbling and swaying around as it interacts. Its AI technology can access a database to search for the best response to a certain question or statement based on the speaker's meaning." – Gundam Concierge Haro Robot, Japan Trend Shop.

[withered-rose-unbreakable-lotus]

The Nikke April Fool's event was the funniest I've had in an online game. Very smart. But I think Satomi Arai's delivery added a bit more to it, for me (cause of being a fan I mean). Syuen's hysteric yelling during battle was everything and I thoroughly enjoyed traumatizing that bitch for fun. I lowkey wish she was indeed a stable playable character now, but she can't fight.

Favourite (+ Least Fav) Female Seiyuu

Please check out the original post here!

This post will cover 3-4 on the original post. One thing I would like to say is that since this list is influenced largely by more recent roles that came out in the last decade or so, there are a lot of veterans missing from this list. I did try to mitigate this with one of the other questions.

While the ranking is based off of purely my personal opinion, I thought I would state some factors that go into the ranking.

Voice acting ability: This is pretty standard. You know what to expect here. Performance is a key factor here. If they can act well and convince me of the character they're playing, then I consider it a good performance. Range is another lesser component. If I feel like they have incredible range in terms of their voice and emotion, that also comes into play.

Sentimentality: This is very subjective. This takes into account things such as access to good to roles and the impact of those roles which largely depend on how good the show is and how strong the writing is. Voice actors can try their best and give really good performance, but if the production, writing, art, or directing isn't good, it can all amount to close to nothing through no fault of the artists involved.

Musical ability: These days, voice actors are expected to sing with few exceptions (Akira Ishida is an exception, for example).

Voice: Yeah, if I like their voice, it boosts them up the list because it's a voice acting list. It has nothing to do with their voice acting ability. Although, range can help this a lot.

Personality: Although it doesn't really have anything to do with any of the other categories, personality that is shown through shows, events, and radio do play a small part in this because seiyuu are ultimately entertainers. These days, they are expected to be the whole package.

I will include a gif of a role that I liked (recent roles are prioritized) for the top ten.

Least Favourite Female Seiyuu

Just like the male-counterpart, I definitely don't have a least favourite female seiyuu based on acting ability, but I do have seiyuu that I just don't like their voice. However, this has negligible interference with my enjoyment of the show. Plus, I don't fault actors or actresses for playing bad roles if I can help it. Off the top of my head, I don't really like Satomi Arai or Yukari Tamura since they are usually typecast in roles that I don't really like (loli archetype). Besides that, usually voice actresses have at least one or two other roles that break their usual typecast that I've seen.

Favourite Female Seiyuu (TOP TEN)

HONOURABLE MENTIONS:

These seiyuu are really good. I just ran out of spaces in the top ten. I also ran out of spaces in the honourable mentions spot. Just like the previous counterpart, the ordering changes really frequently so don't pay too much attention to that (except the top two which seem to remain consistent).

Mariya Ise

The duality and range of her voice is really cool. I think she's mostly on here because of Killua (which is funny since I never finishes HxH) and Ray (we don't talk about The Promised Neverland Season 2). Also, can we just mention how strong she is carrying her career while being a single mom? Some people in Discord were expressing disappointment with/at her, but I think she's doing great from what I can see. Also, I can't wait to hear more from Himeno in Chainsaw Man. From what I hear so far, she's really good.

Atsumi Tanezaki

I got the completely wrong impression about her voice acting after watching Zankyou no Terror and Mahoutsukai no Yome. Since both of those characters were relatively flat, I interpreted her performance as flat as well. However, after seeing her as Satowa in Kono Oto Tomare, Vivy, and most recently as Anya Forger, I realized, I was so fricking wrong.

Aki Toyosaki

I recently finished that Cautious Hero anime, and let's just say, I was not expecting her to go that hard voicing basically blonde Aqua. She did it really well, and she practically carried the show on her back. I get that she's usually known for cutesy roles, but I think she should start getting more casting to play really mature characters like in Re:Creators. I think she sounded great there (not that I ever finished the anime after it put me to sleep every time Inori Minase dropped an exposition rant).

Ayane Sakura

Ayaneru is incredibly talented. She got some hate for playing Gabi from Attack on Titan and Mika from Psycho-Pass 2 because those characters were hated, but ironically, I think that just means her performances made those characters exactly what they were meant to be. I haven't watched either, but I really like her performances in Non Non Biyori (which I also haven't finished), Hero Academia, Hotarubi no Mori e, Gotoubun no Hanayome, and Kakushigoto. I know Kakushigoto wasn't a main role, but she was funny whenever her character had a moment to be. Her chemistry with Kouki Uchiyama is also really endearing, and I would like to see her and Kensho Ono interact considering how much she loves Kana Hanazawa.

Rie Kugimiya

It's funny because a lot of my lists are missing the good veteran voice actors who carried a lot of the series that I first watched. Yet she's the only one that made it onto my new list (mostly because I wanted to shuffle in more of the newer roles I've seen). She was my preferred performance as Kotaro from Kotaro Lives Alone on Netflix (which you should watch); I watched the show both subbed and dubbed, and while both performances were great, I found myself preferring Rie Kugimiya's version. It's hard to explain why. Rie Kugimiya is also behind some of my favourite older roles like Alphonse Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist, Kagura from Gintama, and Taiga from Toradora.

Sora Amamiya

I could not believe that I had ten voice actresses that I liked more than Ten-chan. But this is how the ranking turned out when I was making it. I really liked her performance as Chizuru from Rent-a-Girlfriend which was one of the only things that carried this show (because it sure wasn't the writing). I prefer her more badass role rather than her cutesy ones like Akame from Akame Ga Kill (who should've been the MC instead of Tatsumi, my 13-year-old self says) and Touka from Tokyo Ghoul. I'm also a fan of TrySail which is the idol group with her, Momo Asakura, and Shiina Natsukawa.

10. Ai Kayano

I honestly haven't watched a lot of her recent roles or some of her most popular ones (I could not sit through Konosuba, Saenai Heroine, or Guilty Crown). However, I watched Anohana and Sakurasou, and those were great. She also had a really entertaining run with Matsuoka since they've co-starred so many times together (seriously, so many). She seems to have a really nice and caring personality. Oh yeah, my friend also recommended that I watch Maquia because it's supposed to make me cry. We'll wait and see.

9. Rie Takahashi

Now, this is one I didn't expect since she wasn't even in my honourable mentions, but I've seen her in a lot of things lately, and I'm pretty sure the roles I've seen her in aren't even her most notable ones with those being Takagi-san and Megumin from Konosuba. Despite that, she made Romantic Killer such a blast, and she's fun to watch in a lot of the events she's in too. There's a seiyuu subber named LegoF who subtitled a lot of her content, but he got taken down. However, he resurrected. I highly recommend Romantic Killer, by the way.

8. Maaya Uchida

I found out about Maaya Uchida way before I found out about her little brother. In fact, when I started watching anime, his career hadn't really taken off yet. Maaya Uchida was the heroine in one of the first anime I'd watched when I was an early teen which was Noragami, and I later watched her breakout role in Chuunibyou as Rikka, and I really enjoyed that one too! When I heard her as Norman in The Promised Neverland, I couldn't believe it was the same person and had to check the cast list. Now, she also plays one of my favourite reverse harem protagonists, Bakarina (Catarina) Claes. She's a ton of fun to watch in the events she's in, and her dynamic with Yuuma is what you'd expect. I like some of her songs too (which are available on Spotify)

7. Asami Seto

Man, I can't wait to finish watching Chihayafuru and Wandering Son. I swear, I'll get around to those eventually. I would've actually preferred her voice as Hori in Horimiya, but I think the cast that was chosen still did a really good job. Regardless, I really like her as Nobara in Jujutsu Kaisen and Mai in Seishun Buta Yarou. Honestly, the ordering of this list doesn't mean all that much because it switched so often (except for the top two).

6. Saori Hayami

I really like her voice, but she's been in so much stuff lately that it almost feels the same way as I do with Yuuichi Nakamura. There is a little bit of over-saturation, but it's not any fault of the voice actor. I watched Akagami no Shirayuki-hime and really liked it. After that, I was drawn to Yamada-kun to 7-nin Majo where she played the main girl Shiraishi, I ended up liking that too. Her portrayal when switching character to character was astounding. She has a ton of other amazing roles too, and her most recent ones that stick out to me are Shinobu from Demon Slayer and Yor from Spy x Family. I expect some really good stuff to come out of Demon Slayer considering how Shinobu's character progresses. I won't spoil.

5. Kana Hanazawa

I know some people are a little bit upset about how she hasn't gotten as many roles lately, and there's always the crowd that says that "that's what it means to be part of the industry", but Kana's impact on one of the most pivotal eras of anime will forever leave a mark, and I mean it, she was one of the first idol seiyuu I saw, and she is really good at her job. She made Deadman Wonderland a lot of fun, and she played the best girl in Nisekoi (will never forget how dirty the manga did her). She also stuck out as some nasty villains in Akame Ga Kill and Tokyo Ghoul. While writing this, I was also reminded that she plays Ichika who isn't a "villain" per se, but everyone in that fandom sure makes her out to be one. I still like that role, and I think she convinced me so well that she played the older sister that I forgot it was her.

4. Haruka Tomatsu

She played the heroine in the first anime I watched (in subs)! And I'll be honest, I get why people call that heroine a bit bland, but I don't care, I like her all the same. Morgiana is fricking tough and badass. I will wait for a Magi season 3. I believe in it. I will go fricking watch it on Netflix again if it means we get the rest of the manga adapted. She was so much fun to watch in Horimiya too! She made so many of the funny bits, and she made me feel like I was watching a teen romcom (I was) despite being probably pregnant at the time (which is why she couldn't do some of the Horimiya events). I enjoy some of her music too, especially Sphere.

3. Mikako Komatsu

This one was the result that surprised me the most, but the reasoning is similar to that of Rie Takahashi's placement. Both of them were really good in Romantic Killer, and Mikakoshi's range never ceases to amaze me. I think my favourite recent role from her is Riri from Romantic Killer and Maki from Jujutsu Kaisen which are just the absolute opposite of roles. Even her music has polar opposites. I listened to the ending theme of Romantic Killer right after listening to "Maybe The Next Waltz" and got whiplash so hard. Also, congrats to her and Maeno! Pretty much all of the seiyuu I watched when I got into anime are now becoming parents, and I really don't know how to feel about that.

2. Maaya Sakamoto

My opinion on this one hasn't changed, and I still stand by the fact that Maaya Sakamoto is one of the best seiyuu singers out there, and I respect her singing a lot. She even has some musical theatre experience! Her voice acting range is incredible, and I was so happy when I found out that her and Kenichi Suzumura had their first child! Even though I haven't watched all of her titular roles, I really like what I have seen, and it's enough for me to put it this high on the list. Also, I'm really looking forward to hearing her and Rie Takahashi when I get around to watching Re:Zero Season 2.

1. Miyuki Sawashiro

Since my opinion about her really hasn't changed all that much, I will just put pretty much the same entry as last time. I watched a radio segment with her and her brother. She sounds like an awesome older sister. Bishamon is honestly such a caring epic goddess who takes in people because she wants to care for them. She is a respectable goddess who is one of my favourite Noragami characters. Celty is a mysterious biker who is also really cool. Even though she barely speaks literally in Durarara, Miyuki reads her texts perfectly. If I'm going to continue watching Durarara, it's gonna be for Celty. The quest to find what she has been missing is one of my favourite sides of the story. Seo from Gekkan Shoujo is an inspiration who I love to this day. She’s one of my favourite characters, and I always rewatch her scenes. I love her voice and her singing. She speaks English and plays the piano too. I can’t even express in words how much respect I have for her. I would love to meet her someday. Also, I want another season of both Noragami and Gekkan Shoujo. There's more than enough people who want to watch those. Come on.

Satomi Arai is the greatest to ever do it

American Independence Day? No, no, the true reason for celebrating the 4th of July is the fact that it’s the birthday of one of the greatest to ever do it. There are very few voice actors in the anime industry who are universally and exclusively associated with a single performance so iconic it completely overshadows everything they’ve ever done, but Satomi Arai is one of them. Mind you, this is…

What We Know About Moko

(as of the third beta; last updated 1/23/24!)

Tomoko Noge, codename Moko, is a second-year at Kokatsu Academy in class 2D. She and her best friend, Motoha Arai in class 2C, both have an interest in playing baseball, and were in a little league together when they were younger. She joins the team as a "Phantom Idol", or cognitive teammate.

Previously, in the second beta, her codename was “Kotomo”, however it was changed to Moko in the third beta.

Her Japanese voice actress is Satomi Akesaka.

Tomoko is a Confidant of Wonder's, though her Arcana is unknown.

Tomoko is first relevant in the plot when Wonder sees she dropped her train pass and returns it to her, though then continues to be relevant as Motoha's friend who gets scouted for some sort of baseball thing. She also develops a bit of a crush on Wonder, to her own admittance.

However, shortly after Wonder and Ruferu begin exploring the first Palace, belonging to Takeyuki Kiuchi, the real-world Kiuchi sees Motoha and Tomoko at the train station and attempts to attack Motoha. Tomoko sees what he's doing, and takes the blow for Motoha, getting knocked over the guard rail and onto the train tracks. She ends up needing to be hospitalized.

Her injury means she can no longer play as a baseball catcher, which causes her to become extremely dejected and hopeless during her hospital stay, to Motoha's dismay. This ends up motivating Motoha to agree to changing Kiuchi's heart, despite the possible risks involved.

Correlating with when Wonder, Motoha, and Ruferu open the next area of Mementos, she mentions suddenly feeling the desire to do something, and returns to school after Kiuchi's change of heart and recovering from her injuries.

Tomoko's role seems to loosely parallel Shiho's in the original P5.

Tomoko is quieter than Motoha, but not to the point of shyness, and no less passionate about baseball. She has little difficulty approaching the protagonist and talking to him despite her crush (though she does get nervous when Motoha more directly tries to push her towards Wonder), and works part-time jobs with him during her Confidant, trying to figure out what to do now that she can't be a baseball catcher like she wanted.

She also doesn't seem insecure about her role as Motoha's friend, though we haven't really seen her interacting with anyone besides her and the protagonist. She jokingly apologizes to Wonder for "stealing" Motoha at one point when Motoha drops everything to visit her, instead of Motoha's original plans with Wonder (visiting Takemi for the first time).

When the "Flavor Fight" video is posted, she texts Motoha that her classmate Shun didn't come back to their classroom after lunch, suggesting Motoha may be keeping Tomoko at least slightly in the loop about what Motoha's up to, though there's been no indication that Tomoko knows about what they're doing as phantom thieves. This also suggests Tomoko has a good awareness of her surroundings.

This is supported by her profile, which has been translated as "She has a calm personality, outstanding observation skills, and is used to taking the initiative to take care of those around her. As a baseball catcher, she won various championships with Motoha when she was young, and she is full of confidence in her strength on the field."

Her Persona is Prosymna (based on a naiad who nursed Hera, alongside her sisters), and has Psy skills, a status effect skill, and a support skill, resisting Psy while being weak to Curse in the third beta.

In combat, her melee weapon is twin daggers, while her ranged weapon is a bow. Her highlight attack is shown from 0:09 - 0:20 in this video.

Une fantaisie d’une nuit aux étoiles filantes 

あふれる涙と祈り　誰にもわからない 

Débordante de larmes et de prières, personne ne connaît

未来を照らしてる 

Ce futur qui est illuminé

嵐の夜の後には　愛を伝えるため　命がまた生まれる 

Après une nuit d’orage, nous échangerons notre amour et la vie pourra renaître

Je ne pourrais l’oublier

Une aventure tournant autour d’un miracle 

優しい母の願いを　胸に抱きながら　誰もが旅をしてる 

Tandis que nous serons contre notre cœur le souhait de notre tendre mère, nous partons en voyage

Une fantaisie d’une nuit aux étoiles filantes 

あふれる涙と祈り　誰にもわからない 

Débordante de larmes et de prières, personne ne connaît

📖Słuchajcie, opowiem wam dziś o bajce, o młodej Onari, która jest dzieckiem boga piorunów. Dawno, dawno temu w malutkim lesie istniała sobie wioska pełna japońskich yokai. A w niej malutka szkoła z dzieciakami, które starają się odkryć swoje moce. Tak się składa, że nasza bohaterka tego serialu jako jedyna nie potrafiła jej znaleźć. :( Serial wciąga widza w poszukiwaniu odpowiedzi na wiele pytań: czemu moc Onari jeszcze się nie ujawniła? Gdzie jest jej mama? Czy wioska Yokai obroni się przed nadchodzącym złem w noc czerwonego księżyca?

Wziuuuu gwarantuję wam, że cztery odcinki bajki po czterdzieści minut jeden, to fajne spędzenie czasu przy jedzonku, w tełko pracy lub przed spankiem do relaksu!

🥕 Czy fabuła wciąga tak, jak ją zachwalam? Imo tak! Dlatego piszę pozytywną recenzję tej bajki! HE-HE. Chociaż, tak szczerze, nie jest ona specjalnie innowacyjna. Wszystko jest oklepanym scenariuszem, jak w każdej innej bajce. Dziecko szuka odpowiedzi, ma swojego wiernego towarzysza i ma problemy w szkole. A rodzice dostarczają dodatkowych pytań. Musi mierzyć się z wewnętrznymi rozdarciami i strachem. Ot to, co w wielu bajach. Jednak to, jak świat został przedstawiony, robi największą różnicę. Dlatego nie każda bajka przechodzi echem. A dopieszczone szczegóły robią niesamowitą robotę w Oni: Opowieść o bogu piorunów.

🎥Jeśli o detalach mówimy to animacja i narracja przywołuje uczucie jakbyśmy oglądali produkcję studia Ghibli. I z tą myślą zerknęłam na twórców. Tak moim oczom ukazały się osóbki takie jak:

🌸 Mari Okada (scripter z Nagi no Asukara, Kiznaiver, Toradora, Kuroshitsuji…) 🌸 Daisuke 'Dice' Tsutsumi (co-director/art z Auta, Epoka Lodowcowa, Toy Story 3) 🌸 Satomi Arai, Ryouko Shiraishi, Reina Ueda (seiyuu różnych animców np. z Kimetsu no Yaiba) I przyznam, że nawet zaskoczyła mnie obsada. Nie jest NoName… Ale gdyby była, to bajka by mnie nie urzekła i nie przekonywałabym was do niej… Prawda? 🔊 Zdecydowanie polecam japoński oryginalny dźwięk!

🖌️Grafika jest prześliczna! Na pierwszy rzut wydaje się bardzo słabiutka, co nie? Użyli przecież kukiełek i dodali trochę efektów w post-processingu. Pierwsze co przychodzi na myśl to to, że Oni, było stylizowane na poklatkową animację jak: Gnijąca panna młoda, Fantastyczny pan Lis czy Wyspa Psów. Swoją drogą, te trzy filmy również polecam cieplutko! Wracając, tak naprawdę, to twórcy mieli zupełnie inną inspiracją. Chodziło o anime z lat 90, gdzie twórcy mieli limity względem budżetu, czasu i możliwości. Samo studio potwierdza, że prace Hayao Miyazaki były dla nich inspiracją i może przez to bajka ma taki, a nie inny vibe.🖌️

🎶 Muzyka również jest niezła. Artysta zatrudniony do pracy dobrze dopasował melodie. Ofc, nie ma tu nic rewolucyjnego, nic nie zapada w pamięć poza głównym theme.

TL;DR 😊 ONI: Opowieść o bogu piorunów:

Grafika i animacja: Miodzik na oczy, inspirowany pracami Hayao Miyazakiego Muzyka: Jest ok, bez rewelacji poza main theme. Postacie: Jest ich niewiele, a każda z nich ma swój unikalny (inspirowany japońskimi yokai) wygląd i charakter. Fabuła: Nic nowego, ale cudownie poprowadzona historia, nic nie zostało przyśpieszone, nic nie wlokło się niesamowicie. Idealnie wyważone. Ogólnie: Polecam animu bajkę, możecie ją znaleźć na Netflixie!
