Scary.
The pace

What might put you off
  • Rated PG: scary moments. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1966: an older pace and style.

The tyrannical Lord Danjo Mikoshiba covets the rich, fertile lands surrounding Lake Yakumo. During a memorial ceremony for the late Chigusa lord, Mikoshiba launches an attack, overthrowing the honorable Lord Juro. Just when all seems lost, Daimajin rises from Lake Yakumo to settle a score of his own.
