Horror is a genre that isn't as well-represented in the anime world. There are franchises such as Jujutsu Kaisen, Bleach, Tokyo Ghoul, and Death Note that dip their toes into spooky elements, but straight-up horror stories are few and far between. This summer, Mononoke is set to examine a world of evil spirits by bringing the"Medicine Seller" to the silver screen, with a new trailer continuing to highlight the anime's unique art style.
While this new movie will be returning to the world established in the 2007 anime, it won't see the original voice actor returning. The original voice actor, Takahiro Sakurai, is handing off the baton to voice actor Hirohsi Kamiya. If you're unfamiliar with Kamiya's resume, the actor has had some major roles in the anime sphere including Law in One Piece, Gamma 1 in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, and Captain Levi in Attack on Titan.
The Mononoke Movie is ComingAt present, the Mononoke anime film will arrive in Japan on July 26th. While there has been no word on the movie making its way to North America, anime continues to be brought over to the West on a steady basis. If you want to watch Mononoke, you can find the anime streaming on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Crunchyroll. Here's how the streaming services describe the series,"In feudal Japan, evil spirits known as mononoke plague both households and the countryside, leaving a trail of fear in their wake. One mysterious person has the power to slay the mononoke where they stand; he is known only as the Medicine Seller, and he vanquishes the spirits using the power of his Exorcism Sword.
