Humans lived together with spirit youkai in ancient times. But because demon youkai decided to control humans, the two kinds of youkai fought in a violent dispute.

Now the power lies with the winning demon youkai who proclaim they will maintain eternal control over humans in the next battle. But victory or defeat lies with the supreme commander who must be a human child this time. The head of the spirit youkai Nurarihyon forsees that and commands that Maya search for an appropriate human child to be the supreme commander.

Don't listen to the negative reviews
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
