J-Horror

I can't say I have much experience with J horror, since I don't have much experience with reading horror in general.  I was super how much "pre-work" there was, as in a lot back story.  Even the short stories had a lot story to them.   I thought it was interesting talking about how there isn't much of a "good vs evil" plot in Eastern story telling.  The supernatural isn't shown as a "Evil" thing as much a "natural" thing.   Especially in Japanese stories it seems like that mystical things about a part of the landscape and are just doing their thing.  They may be pissed at you but they are usually just doing what they got to do.
