Happiness of the Katakuris

The claymation opening sequence to this Taskhi Miike gem will undoubtedly leave most viewers thinking "What. The. Fuck." No need to go into detail; it is a sufficiently Funky Forest moment.

Eventually we meet the Katakuris, a family of misfits who run a guest house in the middle of nowhere. Business is dead until one rainy night when their first guest appears and, establishing a trend, dies mysteriously in the night. Rather than explain things to the cops, they live with their guilt and try to find some way to be happy. Before the volcano blows.

Did I mention it's a musical?
