  • xXx holic has a lot of japanese myth

    Inuyasha is heavily influenced by it

    The Monogatari series is…adapted?

    Doro he doro a bit

    Natsume’s book of friends has a lot about yokai and stuff, not as much mythology

    The tale of princess Kaguya (one of my favorites) is a version of the old Chinese tale of the bamboo cutter

    Ghost stories (English dub only - I promise) but it’s any ghost stories

    Heike story - I think, follows a girl who plays the biwa and can see the future, more historical

    Theater of darkness - a collection of scary stories that would have their origins in myth

    Kyousougiga - a story about love, reincarnation, very Japanese myth. Hard to explain but one that I loved

    Thunderbolt fantasy - actually puppets, physical puppets. But more Chinese myth than japanese. It was actually a good story too

    Maybe kamisama hajimemashita - a girl becomes a shrine god, a rom-com

    Mushi-shi - one of my favorites, there are these spirits called musho that are more like energy and the foundation of life. They can cause issues in the world and the MC is like a physician or detective

    Yuyu Hakusho was inspired by it

    A lot of ghibli movies
























  • I had an old Samsung windows phone, the first gen. I loved that thing. The performance was great and the screen was fairly small, but it was way more usable than other phones despite the lower resolution because it had an OLED display.

    Then I eventually got the Lumia 1520 behemoth haha. Then eventually back to one of Sony’s Compact phones, but the performance was terrible. I’m now on more regular sized phones.

    The best part about the smaller phones was the much for usable single-handed use. I think that’s the main thing. I also tended to use another device for things like reading or entertainment. But I will say though, that 1520 was pretty great.
