----------------------------------------
A pretty but uninteresting adaptation of the chapter previously seen in the 1968 movie, trading its idea for more yôkai & action.

Enjoyment: 4/5
Score: 6/10


@St0rmblade Oh, you've read the original chapter? Wich adaptation is the most interesting according to you? And what did the manga that no anime did about it?

CGI and various special photographic effects for sea water?

That glasses guy on the island who overheard the conversation...Shigeru Mizuki cameo? He was on the Pacific front during the war.

Well, the manga story was better, but at least the adaptation looked nice as always.

Didn't expect to hear Furuya Toru here.

I haven't seen other adaptations so no comment on it, but the manga didn't have any island youkai involved at all, and the scientist was the bad guy. It seems that the 1968 anime tries to follow the original much more closely, though I don't know whether they omitted some details as well, and which ones.
