The series has a lot to offer for an audience searching for a beautiful piece of art. Its distinctive animation is of the many reasons anyone would enjoy watching it.
Anthology basically, the series surrounds the mysterious "Medicine Seller" who comes across demonic spirits referred to as the "Mononoke". The series is set during the Japanese Edo Period but being an anthology series, the 5 arcs differ from one another with the later ones appearing to be in a more recent era. The Medicine Seller basically believes as his rightful duty to slay the demonic spirits and requires the Mononoke's "Truth", "Form" and "Regret" before he can finally do so.
All in all, the show has great story lines, filled with chills and suspense and would keep you gripped till the very end. The animation features a paint-like touch to it and would also delight viewers who may not be anime fans themselves. A highly recommended classic and an excellent psychological horror.
