Two sisters split a single exorcist's power between them: one sees what no one else can, the other destroys it. Neither works alone. The movie leans hard into actual Japanese folklore instead of generic haunting tropes, which means the spirits aren't just scary, they're rooted in something real, something that persists in the places where the story happens. A 1989 anime that knows the difference between spooky and spiritually grounded.

Shoko and Maiko Ougi look like ordinary schoolgirls who just want to graduate and have a good time. Shoko, known as Shii-chan, is the serious one, while Maiko, called Mai-chan, is more carefree. In truth, the two sisters are powerful exorcists from the Karura temple, and each holds half of their shared power: Shoko can see spirits, and Maiko can banish them. The film adapts an eerie series and leans heavily on traditional Japanese occult ideas, blending action, adventure, fantasy and horror.
