Inspired by Japanese folklore, this diamond in the dark definitely deserves a place on your Blu-ray mantle. Embracing true Japanese spirit, it showcases a variety of tactfully programmed surround sound effects that will give your surround speakers a run for their money. Every mystical transformation provides excellent directionality that lingers long enough for you to discern the discrete separation of each channel. Background dialogues in crowd heavy scenes are realistically rendered while the thunderous thumps from the beasts flood the floor of your soundstage with warm resounding bass.
