The Medicine Seller is a deadly and mysterious master of the occult who travels across feudal Japan in search of malevolent spirits called mononoke to slay. When he locates one of these spirits, he cannot simply kill it; he must first learn its Form, its Truth, and its Reason in order to wield the mighty Exorcism Sword and fight against it. He must begin his strange exorcisms with intense psychological analysis and careful investigative work—an extremely dangerous step, as he must first confront and learn about the mononoke before he even has the means to defeat it.

User Reviews

Usually beautiful animation is boring, but Mononoke is a perfect mix of beautiful animation, colour and story telling

Otherworldly, highly stylized, and very unique pacing and sound effects based on a Japanese theatre play.

Rishi Chinnasamy

first three episodes are some of the best anime has to offer. an inexhaustible premise, only gripe is why not more? unexpectedly funny also.

The art is breathtaking. This has become one of my favorite animes.

Ignore good reviews, this show is 90% still frames, horrible dub, and they thought a big pink lipped black guy with buck teeth was okay.

Odd style but an almost relaxing set of stories due to the style and acting
