Minor Points
1 November 2002
Just a couple of points. About 17 minutes into episode four there's a shot of black print text racing all over a white background to show Miyazawa's confusion. Where have we seen this before? In "Ringu," though it's single characters, not whole words, part way through the killer video tape, right before the men with hiragana-like legs crawling out of some mire. The link means nothing, of course, but there it is. The other point is the kanji and hiragana always flashing on the screen. They can be very distracting. If you don't realize, you'll think you're missing something. I can't vouch for every instance, as I'm drawing on language lessons a really long time ago and I made the effort to test it for only several minutes of a couple of episodes, but usually the screen writing just repeats what the characters are saying. I've seen only six episodes.
