Mononoke Movie: Karagasa is the upcoming film from the Mononoke series. The movie was announced on July 2023 during the original 2007 anime series’ 15th-anniversary event as a celebration for the milestone. Kenji Nakamura, who directed the original 2007 anime series, will be returning to direct the movie with Twin Engine EOTA Studio (Hell’s Paradise) animating the series. Hiroshi Kamiya will be voicing the main character, who is only known as the medicine seller.
The movie takes place at the end of Japan’s Edo period and Meiji Era. It follows the story of a wandering, nameless character who is only known as the medicine seller. The medicine seller travels across Japan, slaying spirits called Mononoke. However, he must first learn the Mononoke’s form, truth, and reasons to kill them.
