| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Buuuuurn!!!!! Now he has two pearl thingies in his mouth! |
| It was on dvd 1 of "Japanese anime classic collection" from Digital Meme |
 |
| I watched this without subs(assuming it has subs) and I gotta say, this was super confusing o.O. |
 |
| I was able to see this on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShzmzcJM7QI So, here's the story if I understand it. This old guy accidentally stumbles upon this ceremony/party for the bird people and their leader, that old guy. He does a dance and makes friends with them. The birds rip the ugly disformed lump off his face. He goes and tells another old guy the story. The other old guy also has a lump on his face, although on the other cheek. This second guy goes and finds the group of bird people. He does a dance, but starts tripping over everyone and pissing everyone off. Then he steals a pouch, or tries to. The old man is so angry that he gives Guy #2 the lump from Guy #1's face, so now Guy #2 has two lumps on his face. |

| This was the first Animation that I watched this year =D, and it was pretty Damn good! (i love the older ones) |
 my deviant art- http://valaurelius.deviantart.com/ |
| beautiful art! way ahead of it's time with it's use of realism (a super rare thing in those days) - amazing surreal story! |
 |
| learn to moonwalk if you don't want testicles for a face! NB The men have goitre and the birdpeople are the mischievous Tengu! Rock on! |
| Whoa great art for it's time. With an ok enjoyable story that can be understood even without knowing how to read Japanese. Old anime and their circular drawing always makes me think someone is watching them, quite confusing. |

| Wow that was actually pretty good, the art was so detailed, the story was simple enough to understand. |
| GOD DAMN that old man broke it down SHIT BOY they don't dance like in anime these days! |

 |
| That was surprisingly enjoyable and gave us a great moral. Serves you right. |
| He sure got some moves. |
 |
| I feel pity for him. |
 |
| The flute music the first time it plays and they all dance. THAT WAS AWESOME!! |

| Wow xD That awkward music though :o My ears are bleeding >_< |
 |
| Kinda neat show. The ending was pretty predictable, but I liked it well enough. |

| Surprisingly good, especially the animation. Lots of detail in the facial expressions and gestures. The music was cancer though, except for the flute part which was good. unclesnapple said: I was able to see this on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShzmzcJM7QI So, here's the story if I understand it.

| Quite interesting for 1929. Gotta say, the pulling of his lump off was pretty gross, but the rain effects in the beginning were nice. |
| Detailed designs, detailed animation (well, it was common in those days), good background music (important back then), and a fine story (folktale?). Enjoyment: 5/5 Score: 9/10 Lacking the experience to know if I should rank it up as a "masterpiece" @ShojoSamurai @Vensito |
| That was brilliant. The character designs from the brothers to the Tengu were all drawn nicely. |
 Recommend me some short Manga! |
| Jirobei sure deserved that! But if he had finished the dance he would've gotten the treasure and the lump back, but no he had to be greedy. I guess sometimes greed can lead to stupidity in this situation. But this sure benefited Tarobei well, because now he's lump free and it's all thanks to Jirobei's stupidity. 6/10. |
How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| https://animation.filmarchives.jp/en/works/playen/66988 (film fully translated in english) Ofc the greedy brother had to fuck this up. It wasn't bad, I particularly like the animation. 6/10 |
| Not my cup of tea, but nonetheless impressive. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| That music bops, dayum. Great animation for bloody 1929 as well. 8/10 |
| Really funny how Jirobei got two lumps on his face. |
 |
| Both the old men reminded me of my grandpa. |
