Monoke may be one of the most beautiful animes you’ve never heard of. It has a visual style that I haven’t seen in Anime before. Imagine a Japanese wall scroll, that has come to life. A spin-off of from the horror series Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales, Mononoke follows the mysterious medicine man and his encounters with supernatural. Check out the opening after the jump.
I love this opening theme. It grabs my attention every time it comes on. Mononoke means vengeful spirit. Most people might know the word from the popular movie Princess Mononoke, but the true meaning is a bit darker than the movie implies. I caught this series every night at 1:30 AM which also added to the creepy factor. Mononoke follows a nameless character known only as the medicine seller. The series is broken up into multiple seperate stories, each of which are two episodes long.
Each episode follows the same basic pattern. Unfazed by the Mononokes’ bizzare and disturbing attacks, he endeavors throughout each chapter to discover the monoke’s shape (Katachi), truth (Makoto) and reasoning (Kotowari). Once he knows these, he is able to draw his sword and vanquish the spirit.
If you’re looking for a new show to watch, Mononoke would not be a waste of your time. Its worth it for the visual style alone.
