Part stop motion, part animation, the style of this short 4 episode mini-series was fantastic and the story was adorable to boot. A bit predictable, but it is of course mainly for kids. Following Onari, a young girl being raised by her magical father in the land of the Kami who must prepare for the coming blood moon when the evil Oni will attack. The frame rate of the stop motion suffers in certain scenes and feels a bit stiff, but generally the animation is fantastic and each of the characters is cute in its own way. I had a lot of fun and I could certainly see how kids would like it. I did, was good.
