Hey that was pretty good. Plot was easy to follow, and the characters were pretty interesting. I wonder if that stone mill still rests at the bottom of the sea? Hmmm...

I remember reading a folktale like this a very, very long time ago but that version was about a giant offered to help the local villagers but ended up toppling the carts of salt they were crossing over the sea on his leg to the other island because of how his foot was placed near an anthill.

I rarely enjoy really old anime but I actually liked this one~ It's understandable and pretty entertaining.

Damn, so the stone hand mill is the whole cause of this salt in the sea thing. That brother's greed certainly killed us.

I t was easy to follow the story and it really peaked my interest on how it would play out. Great story, I enjoy a lot of these black and white films. I would love to have a hand mill like that on hand!
I want to sleep...

Oh is this supposed to be the origin of why they call it salt water.
