To be fair they're kids and pretty much everything in the dark can be spooky. The only thing that I don't understand is why do the kids gets scared if they know someone will scare them already.The food scenes where Sukimoto has to eat freaky shit are always funny...
.... but yeah... um.... having a name for a forked stick for waving outside windows to scare children... is retarded. Genuinely, completely and utterfly fucking retarded.
Yeah. Ainu clothing is awesome. But I'm starting to think between rubbing food on the backs of their necks and having special scaring sticks that a lot of them might have been kinda... brain-damaged.
