Incredible!

This is the best fantasy / horror / supernatural series I have ever watched, in any medium (and being the horror-fan that I am, I've watched scores of them). It is simply splendid in terms of the artwork & animation, the script, the psychological analysis of its characters, the incredibly charming and mysterious protagonist, the sound effects and the voice acting.

This is an episodic tale, dealing with the exorcism of different 'mononoke' that one very unique Medicine Seller /Mononoke exorcist encounters on his journeys. As such, some of the supporting characters may come across as being rather one-dimensional. Still, their emotions and desires (which are the root cause of the mononoke's creation and continued existence) are portrayed quite effectively and realistically. These are 'ghost stories' the likes of which you have never seen (or heard of) before.

There's little else to be said. If you are a fan of the aforementioned genre (or at least have a passing interest in them), "Mononoke" is a must-see.
