Rate a 4 English Subtitles (A couple lines of text but no vocals) Story A puppet show that did not do fair job in telling a tale unless you were familiar with the Japanese culture. The ending made scene at least. Art Both characters and background looked nice. However, both had completely different outlooks making for a poor to moderate mix. Background was obviously a backdrop of sorts, showing the lack of realism in some parts. More detain could have been added like actual sake. Sound Audio was poorly timed. An action would be done and countless things could go wrong. The proper direct moment would be missing (the slap in thebeginning), poor animation sound choice (putting a sound that does not blend with object it is working with), to name a few things. Also, the voice of the young monk was questionable. I could not tell the gender given how the young monk looked/acted along with the voice. Lastly, the music can be taken as annoying after a while.
