japanese religions in film

[Mark Nornes]

I can barely remember them. The animation itself was standard, boring. 
They showed Asahara preaching and generally being prophet-like. They 
were animated sequences in PR documentaries, made long before the 
subway attack. Other scenes showed daily life, meditation, people 
trying to float, and a long and respectful interview of the master by 
Kitano Takeshi.

I have the tape, somewhere, but it's a continent away right now.
