Ahhh, just finished watching Mouryou no Hako, an intensely disturbing but heartbreakingly beautiful series. It's the Japanese detective noir story, except that it delves deeply into some Shinto beliefs plus a touch of sci-fi to make your blood run cold. It's certainly not a series for the impatient, as everything is really confusing at the beginning, I couldn't even figure out who was meant to be the central character/set for the first half, and then you're treated to 2 entire episodes of people sitting around a table discussing religious theory. O_o

( Cut for the faint-hearted... well, sort of )
