Mononoke has distinct story arcs. The Medicine Seller is the main character and he helps people with their psychological problems while battling monsters with his sword. It's a horror show, but not only about scaring the audience. It's also bizarre and enigmatic. The Umibozu arc is quite emotional highlighting that humans are indeed uncaring. The show is very symbolic, yet the story is never lost. It is also visually beautiful with traditional Japanese design and every detail intricate enough. The animation is not always perfect but it is still great. The music is just right. The Medicine Seller is a multifaceted character, being on one hand cruel and cunning and on the other playful. The show has an eclectic group of characters, all with their own foibles and imperfections, which makes them believable. While some arcs excel more than others, Mononoke stands as one of the finest abstract anime ever created. If you want to watch something which is different, Mononoke is a must-watch.
