message: Shouldn't there be some stuff about maybe mythological stuff instead of "In some shitty anime nobody cares about the kodama are portrayed as blah blah blah" --76.176.98.81 22:52, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. What the article needs is for someone to take a little initiative and write up the mythological aspects of the kodama. The popular culture stuff should then be deleted or spun into Kodama in popular culture. -- BrianSmithson 06:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't see consensus to remove the bit about Princess Mononoke and so I would like to point out that it is significant because it is how many Westerners were introduced to "kodama" and its visual portrayal may also be how people see the spirits in their mind... And so I'm likely to reput the section in. Bod (talk) 17:50, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we had come to a consensus to remove the mention of the film. At the very I'd like to remove the part you added about the Nightwalker and plot summary. I think that's getting too far away from the subject and doesn't belong here. I'll leave the reference to the movie up for now, but I tend to agree with the points Wowaconia raised above.
