Hello everyone, and happy October. As is tradition we are to look at a scarier piece this time of year, and I'm happy to announce that its on the wonderfully unique Mononoke. This horror anthology is a piece that I've wanted to talk about since discovering it and I'm glad I now get to do it in the spooky month! From its traditional stylings to its non-linear plot construction, there's a lot to cover, so let's start! And of Course... All properties shown here belong to their respective owners. "Mononoke" is a production of Toei Animation. And.....
