Oops!


[Edit: I probably should have put this before, but there are spoilers in this thing....My head hasn't been working right for a month, pardon me, hehehe.]

There isn't anything under the goofs section for Kakurenbo and I have no idea how to submit anything, so I thought I'd share. Someone else probably already noticed it, but what the hell. Can't hurt to try and start a conversation.

-One of the rules is that the kids have to wear a mask. Wonder what the rules say about bringing spares. When we first see Tachiji, his mask is a kind of tough-looking one, as one of the behind-the-scenes features mentions. But, when Noshiga and his gang are first walking into the city through the tunnel and it starts shaking...For a couple seconds, Tachiji's wearing another mask that seems to be as nervous as he is. It happens again, when they actually run into one of the demons. Tachiji leaves with his usual mask, but it looks like he swapped them again while he was away. When we see him in the ending, he has his original mask again.

-It also seems either the animators or the demons couldn't remember what eye color Sorincha had. Throughout the movie, it's either a goldish-brown (ex. When she first runs into Hikora and Yaimao on the alley; When Hikora first confronts her on the bridge) or a dark blue (ex. When she's looking out the window; The ending, when she's "changing masks"). I almost thought it was just part of the story, but it just seemed a little too random for that.

Um, it seemed to me that the masks acted like faces and portrayed emotions like faces do. It would just be stupid to change masks to fit how you feel It would be like "OK, now I'm angry, but before I yell at you, let me change my mask to the 'angry face' mask. Now I'm scared, but wait, before I run away, I have to change into the 'scared face' mask."

I just imagined walking around with a bunch of masks portraying different emotions... I wanna do it so bad now... also I want to see the aroused mask.
