Dryads in a Snow Valley (2015)
Ten years ago, the Kogures moved from Tokyo to a satoyama area (an area where traditional sustainable agriculture has been long practiced) in a snowy mountain village in Echigo-Tsumari where they repaired an old thatched farmhouse and began growing organic, pesticide-free rice. Their life may appear unrestrained and free of worldly cares but they cannot make it alone. All the work is done together with their cheerful neighbors. Then, in the spring of 2011, an earthquake strikes on the border of Nagano and Niigata prefectures. The Kogures’ house is destroyed, but they decide to rebuild. An adventure told in a fantastical tone that expresses the joy of living with a sometimes harsh natural world.

Boring
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
