Mononoke #01 — Priestesses Need Not Apply
July 12th, 2007
I really am too unrefined to deal with this show.
Impressions:
This is the continuation/spinoff of Ayakashi. It was a show I could never really get into, and Mononoke is pretty much the same. There’s a lot you can appreciate about it, especially if you’re an art student or familiar with Japanese mythology, but I’m not really particularly in touch with either. It certainly wasn’t a bad episode, but the show just remains outside my sphere of interest. If you liked Ayakashi, I’m almost certain you’ll love this as well.

The art style is reminiscent of wood-cutting. Not unlike Gankutsuou but definately more of a watercolor feel. While I like the aesthetic divergence, it seems too colorful (i.e. too much visual information) for me to focus my attention on any one thing.
