So if you already seen Lesson Of The Evil you already know how this whole thing will end. It was a neat little touch to see them hint as what's to come with the sock puppets. This series just serves to basically fill in gaps in the story that was mostly already kinda understood throughout the film. It elaborates more with the characters around the massacre and more of his shadiness. Never does it try to make you understand the character but just more of everything that happened immediately before the events. Some of which shows him in his time in America which is mostly pointless. And may I add the acting by the English actors are atrocious!

Overall I think it's better to watch this before you watch the movie. But if this wasn't watched you'd really not be missing much either. It's a good companion piece. That's entertaing enough.

Japanese cinema is celebrated for its refined minimalist dramas and avant-garde experimentation; it also introduced popular genres like jidaigeki (samurai epics), kaiju, and anime. Across both high art and mass entertainment, it often explores morality, impermanence, and the pressures of modern life.
