KajoPicks: 10 Japanese horror anime you must watch

Published on

There is something about Japanese horror stories that make them one of the scariest, most eerie tales in the South East Asian region.

Even if it is an anime, not a live-action story, the Japanese horror genre still manages to transcend cultural borders and language barriers to give its audience a good scare.

Here KajoMag’s top 10 Japanese horror anime you must watch:

1.Another

This anime is based on Japanese horror novel by Yukito Ayatsuji which was published in 2009.

The plot is about a boy named Kouichi Sakakibara who transfers to Yomiyama North Middle School. There, he finds himself fascinated with a girl name Mei Misaki who is being ignored by the whole class.

What makes this anime iconic among fans is not just how killing the suspense is but its legendary death-by-umbrella scene.

SPOILER ALERT
One of the characters, Yukari, accidentally trips and tumbles down the school stairs while carrying an umbrella.
As her umbrella drops, it pops open as she falls face first towards the umbrella’s sharp end and is gruesomely skewered through the neck.

Nobody will look at an umbrella the same again after watching this anime.

2.Death Parade

Do you know where you go after you die? How about a bar?

In the universe of this Japanese horror anime, humans either head to the eternal void or are reincarnated after death.
However if there are any doubts, the souls arrive at the Quindecim bar instead without any memories of having died. There, Decim the bartender will challenge them to a Death Game.

It is not as horrifying as the other anime on this list but each episode has a different twisted, distorted storyline.

3.Hell Girl

This anime is so iconic that its soundtracks are widely used as a horror theme song in various shows including South Korean variety show like Running Man.

Ai Enma, the main character offers an interesting service. Basically, she is the chauffeur for highway to hell. She carries out grudges on behalf of the clients by sending the person the clients hate to hell.

Putting aside her scary job, Ai is full of wisdom as she comes with smartest quotes throughout this anime like“When one person is cursed, two graves are dug” and “The real hell is inside the person.”

Hermost memorable quote is what she says every time she sends somebody to hell.

“O pitiful shadow bound in darkness,
Looking down upon people, and causing them pain.
A soul drowned in sinful karma,
Want to try dying this once?”

4.Blood+

Blood+ is a dark and sad but full of action. The story focuses on Saya Otonashi who seems to be just an ordinary girl living with her adoptive family.

One night, she is attacked by a mysterious creature called Chiropteran. One thing leads to another and Saya realises she has a special power to defeat these creatures.

5.Ghost Hunt

Ghost Hunt is one of those Japanese horror anime that I wouldn’t recommend to watch at night. Watch it during the day when everything is lit and you won’t be looking over your shoulder.

It is based on a light novel series written by Fuyumi Ono. The story follows the adventures of Shibuya Psychic Research as they investigate mysterious events all over Japan.

Some of these ‘ghostly’ occurrences have horrifying, scary background stories while there are some which are sad and heartbreaking.

6.Ousama Game

Also known as King’s Game The Animation, this is a twisted horror story based in a Japanese high school. A class of 32 people receive a message on their phones from a person only known as the “King.”

The message has orders that the students must obey or they die.

It has a sick, contorted storyline which plays on humans’ instinct to survive.

7.Corpse Party: Tortured Soul

This four-episode anime is a sequel to the Corpse Party: Missing Footage OVA (original video animation).

The story starts with a group of students gathered at their high school at night to say goodbye to a friend. They perform a ritual to make sure they are friends forever using doll-like charms.

The ritual leads them to being stuck in another dimension with scary ghosts from the past.

8.Yami Shibai: Japanese Ghost Stories

If a masked stranger showed up in a playground to tell ghost stories, would you let your children listen to him?

Every week at 5pm, an old man in a yellow mask shows up at a children’s playground and tells ghost stories based on Japanese myths and urban legends.

It is inspired by kamishibai, a form of Japanese street theatre and storytelling that was popular during the Depression of the 1930s.

9.Ayakashi: Japanese Classic Horror

This Japanese horror anime has three parts: Yotsuya Kaidan, Tenshu Monogatari and Bake Neko.

Yotsuya Kaidan is perhaps the most famous Japanese ghost story about a husband who betrays his wife to marry a rich man’s daughter. The wife’s spirit comes back from the dead to curse those who involved with her death.

Tenshu Monogatari is the story of forbidden love between a god and a human while Bake Neko is about a man who is a medicine seller and hunts mononoke (demons).

10.Tokyo Ghoul

Based on best-selling horror manga by Sui Ishida, the plot follows Ken Kaneki who is living a secret life as a half-ghoul, half-human.

The ghouls in this universe are vicious creatures who can blend in with humans so that they can prey on them as food.

The early part of the 21st century was good for Indonesian movie industry.

This was when Indonesian movies started to penetrate and make waves in its neighbouring countries including Malaysia.

Indonesian horror movies such as Kuntilanak (2006) and Hantu Jeruk Purut (2006) were considered on par with Thai horror movies.

Besides its horror flicks, Indonesian romantic movies of the 2000s were also popular when they were released.

So these are the top five Indonesian romantic movies of the 2000s that will make you feel nostalgic:

1.Ada Apa Dengan Cinta (2002)

Before American author wrote her book Slammed (2012) about a teenage couple connected by their passion for poetry, the Indonesians produced a movie based on a similar idea.

Cinta (played by Dian Sastrowardoyo) is the popular, beautiful school poet. Rangga (Nicholas Saputra) is the introvert, a nobody in school.

Their love story starts when Rangga’s poem was submitted to the school’s poetry contest and subsequently won, beating even Cinta’s work.

The movie was released in Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines and Singapore. In Japan, it was known as Beautiful Days.

Perhaps what catapulted Ada Apa Dengan Cinta to fame was its controversy for being the first Indonesian teen movie featuring a passionate kisssing scene.

But for those who have watched it, they will agree that Cinta and Rangga’s poems hit the nail right on the head making the movie worth the buzz.

2. Eiffel, I’m in Love (2003)

4.Ayat-ayat Cinta (2008)

KajoPicks: 5 upcoming South Korean movies you can watch in Malaysian cinemas (June-December 2018)

Published on

Over the years, Malaysian cinemas have featured more varieties of movies.

On top of the usual Malay, English, Chinese and Tamil movies, we have begun to see more choices such as Thai, Indonesian, Japanese anime and South Korean movies premiering on our big screens.

Thanks to the rise of Hallyu wave, Malaysians have shifted their interest to South Korean movies in recent years.

In 2016, Train to Busan became the Malaysian number one South Korean movie, racking up about RM4.8 mln on its opening weekend.

Earlier this year, Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds opened at number one in Malaysian cinemas, winning against Chris Hemsworth’s 12 Strong and Matt Damon’s Downsizing.

Now, we have five upcoming South Korean movies we can look forward in selected cinemas till the end of 2018:

1. Champion (June 14)

This sports comedy film directed by Kim Yong Wan stars Ma Dong Seok, Kwon Yul and Han Ye Ri.

Mark (played by Ma) is a disgraced arm wrestler turned bouncer. Given up for adoption by his biological mother as a baby, Mark was raised in the US by an American family. The prospect of making money at an arm-wrestling competition in South Korea leads him back to his homeland where he searches for his biological mother but finds his biological siblings instead.

2. Believer (July 5)

In October 2017, the South Korean entertainment industry mourned the loss of one of its finest actors Kim Joo Hyuk.

Believer is Kim’s final film before his untimely death due to car accident.

It is a remake of Chinese-Hong Kong action thriller Drug War (2012).

This crime comedy film is a sequel to Kim Jung Hoon’s 2015 film The Accidental Detective.

It stars Kwon Swang Woo, Sung Dong Il and Running Man’s Lee Kwang Soo.

The plot circles around the story of fireman Kim Ja Hong (Cha Tae Hyun) and grim reaper Gang Rim (Ha Jung Wood).

When it comes to South Korean movies, we rarely see a period genre taking a slot in our local cinemas.

KajoPicks: Top Korean Drama Series With Deeper Messages

Published on

We all love Korean drama series for their fantastic plots and characters.

While some might love them because of their favourite actors or actresses, other might be into them because of their gripping plots.

Since there are too many Korean drama series out there, we thought you might need some recommendations on which series to binge watch in one weekend.

This Kajo-list features some of the series that not only have great plots but deliver deeper messages through its stories.

  1. Cross (16 episodes)

The medical scene has never looked darker than in this Korean drama series.

It tells the story of a young doctor plotting revenge against an illegal organ trader who murdered his father. This is because his father has a rare blood type thus making his organs valuable for organ transplants.

However, things are not as simple as tracking the bad guy down, injecting him with some dangerous medicine and leaving him to die. He soon finds out that the illegal organ trading business goes deeper, involving people that he did not expect.

While the revenge plot and near-death scenes are enough to leave you hyperventilating, Cross highlights illegal organ trading among the poverty ridden people.

  1. Misty (16 episodes)

Misty is a combination of Scandal and Sherlock Holmes. This drama series features a strong, intelligent anchor woman thrown into a murder scandal involving her ex-boyfriend/lover. Having been charged with murder, her still-in-love-with-yet-distant lawyer husband defends her.

It has a brilliant plot that weaves in the main character’s scandalous affair with her work as a media person.

Superficially, Misty looks like a story of rekindling lost love. But it highlights the restriction on media freedom in uncovering stories to reveal the truth.

  1. Black Knight: The Man Who Guards Me (20 episodes)

In Korean culture, a ‘black knight’ means a guy who takes a shot of alcohol on your behalf. But if you expect this series to be about binge-drinking, think again.

Black Knight is about a businessman (who seems to have way too much money to spend) reconciling with his childhood crush, a travel agent. Their love story spans over 200 years as they were also lovers in their past lives.

He set out to save a town from the brink of being destroyed to be developed into high-end apartments and stores with her help.

Set in modern Korea, this drama series takes on the issue of conserving old traditional buildings to preserve culture.

  1. Mother (16 episodes)

I challenge anyone to watch this Korean drama series without shedding any tears!

Mother is an adaptation from a Japanese series of the same name. This Korean drama series tells how ornithologist Kang Soo Jin rescued a girl, Kim Hye Na, who was being abused by her mother and boyfriend. To cover her identity, she posed as the child’s mother.

While the story may be tear-jerking, it highlights the issue of domestic abuse against children. Hye Na’s on-point portrayal as an abused child captures the emotion of a defenseless child secretly pleading for help while at the same time putting up a brave front as she faces daily abuse from her mother and her boyfriend.

As a stranger, Soo Jin’s ability to recognise child abuse and take action is what society should do for abused children.

  1. Bad Guys 2: City of Evil (16 episodes)

The real reason why I get hooked on this series was because I really liked the first Bad Guy series.  (cough Park Hae Jin)

So, naturally, I thought the second one should be as good, if not better.

With a team of originally seven people (then three), Bad Guys 2 explores the corruption of those in power. Among those involved are prosecutors, politicians, the police force, chaboels and gangsters.

Filled with well-choreographed fight scenes, this series is the definition of ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’.

  1. Revolutionary Love (16 episodes)

Don’t be deceived by the title. Revolutionary Love might sound like your typical sappy love story, but it actually explores the theme of employees and labour rights.

It features a sheltered chabeol heir who falls in love with a poor girl who has too many part-time jobs.

Through her and his reluctant – also poor -best friend, he soon realises his father’s unjust treatment of the employees. Soon, he begins to fight for the employees rights.

Anybody who has experience working for a company with bad policies and bosses can relate.

  1. Witch’s Court (16 episodes)

Witch’s Court is a Korean drama series that I truly appreciate – it does not feature the typical optimistic and cheerful female lead.

The lead character is unique because she is the anti-hero type. Known to be devious, she eventually learns to be compassionate as she helps sexual victims.

It highlights victims of sexual crimes and how often they go unnoticed.

Honourable mentions:

Paul Dinning

Dinning’s “Videos for Cats To Watch” were the first videos I played for my child. They are not music videos at all, but videos of the wildlife – mostly birds – around this YouTuber’s home in Cornwall, England.

Shot in high-definition, watching the various birds coming to feed on the seeds Dinning left out is calming and pleasurable. Totally safe for children and the workplace too; you can even leave it on and just listen to it for background music as you do your paperwork.

OCB Relax Music

Short for “One Conscious Breath”, OCB Relax Music offers a collection of relaxing music perfect for meditation, relaxation or just as soothing background music. Parents will feel especially uplifted with this channel’s special playlist for children.

KajoPicks: 8 films about Mount Everest you must watch

Published on

Mount Everest is the world’s highest mountain, standing at its  official height of 8,848m.

While the rest of the world calls it Everest, the mountain is called Sagarmatha in Nepal and Chomolungma in Tibet.

The name Everest was actually given by the Royal Geographical Society as suggested by the British Surveyor General of India, Andrew Waugh in 1865.

Waugh named it after his predecessor, Sir George Everest.

Even though more than 4,000 people have reached its peak since Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay in 1953, hundreds  have died doing it, which is why its no surprise that Everest always make it into popular culture.

There are plenty of books, movies and documentaries out there telling tales of courageous humans pushing their limits to conquer Everest.

Here, we narrowed down eight films from all over the world on Mount Everest to watch:

1.Everest (2015)

On May 10 to 11, 1996, eight people died while caught in a blizzard on Mount Everest.

This movie starring Jason Clarke and Jake Gyllenhaal, is based on that 1996 disaster.

A real tearjerker, the film focuses on the two expedition groups led by Rob Hall (Clarke) and Scot Fischer (Gyllenhall).

Overall, the film was a commercial blockbuster and received positive reviews from critics.

However, journalist Jon Krakauer who was on assignment from Outside magazine and part of Hall’s expedition team was not happy with the movie.

Krakauer thinks that some of its details were fabricated and defamatory.

The storyline for Everest (2015) is mostly adapted from Beck Weathers’ book Left for Dead: My Journey Home from Everest.

2. Into Thin Air: Death on Everest (1997)

p19867_d_v8_aaThis TV movie is according to Krakauer’s account of what happened during the 1996 Mount Everest tragedy.

It is based on Krakauer’s memoir Into Thin Air which received considerable amount of criticism.

For those with curious minds, they could watch both Everest (2015) and Into Thin Air: Death on Everest (1997) and compare the storylines.

3.The Himalayas (2015)

The_Himalayas_(film)_posterThe Himalayas (2015) is based on South Korean climber Um Hong Gil’s life.

It focuses on his mentorship of two other climbers Park Moo Taek and Park Jeong Bok.

Sadly, Moo Taek died during an expedition on Mount Everest and his body was left in the Himalayas.

The movie is based on real-life event of Um, set aside concerns over his leg injury to lead a team to find Moo Taek’s body.

4. Poorna: Courage Has No Limit (2017)

220px-Poorna_-_PosterMalavath Poorna conquered the summit of Mount Everest at the age of 13 years and 11 months earning the title as the youngest girl in the world to do so.

Poorna: Courage Has No Limit (2017) was shot in Poorna’s home village in Pakala over a period of 11 days.

It was highly praised in the media including The Hindustan Times which stated “Poorna shows you that incredible stories can be told simply. Bollywood can learn from that.”
