Among the ruins of the city, there is a game only children can play. It is called “Otokoyo”; a game of hide-and-seek. But whenever children play this game, one by one they would disappear into the blinds of the buildings… The story begins when a boy enters the world of Otokoyo, to find his missing sister.

this 25min long "movie" is based on japan's demon supestition. the anime itself is actually animation rather than cartoon. the anime is very original and the twist at the end can be very frightening if you are watching this alone in the dark before you are going to bed (like i did), it creeped me out a little. but never the less this is something different to what we're use to. the story is orignal, the dialogue and interation between the each set of friends is intersting as objective as are also reveiled. the animation is of high quality, the designs of both the demons and the "playground" is very creative and interesting. entertainment i consider a 4 as it there is no other variaton to this story so it can appear a little drab. but i still think it is good, if not a little dark. all in all this is something that can be used as a procrastination tool or a waiting-it-out thing (like what i did when waiting for my anime to download. the video can also be viewed in Japanese with english subs. i watched this. if you are using vcl player rand it comes up with the english audio and you want to watch it in japanese; right-click the screen and go to "audio track" and click the other one (whatever it says eg japanese, nihongo or the kanji). for subs do the same thing with "video" "subtitle tracks" and click "english" or the one that says "japanese audio - english". hope this helps. ^-^
