I’m not an anime fan (I have seen only a few of them), but I totally fell in love with this. The art style is adorable and the stories are very interesting.

I’d like to thank the poster for blogging about this; information about Mononoke is pretty scarce on the Internet, and the stories can be rather puzzling (but that adds to their charm in my opinion). Reading about the interpretations and explanation about Japanese culture helped clear a lot of things for me.

Now, I’d like ask if someone can someone point me to similar stuff? Onegaishimasu.

hello!!! i’ve watched both Mononoke and Ayakashi dozens of times. Especially the Bake Neko arcs. So I wanted to put in my two cents worth…If you look carefully, both Bake Neko stories share many similar characters…not only Kayo/Chiyo, but also the train driver Bunpei, the older lady Haru, editor Moria, the mayor, and the detective. the only character that does not appear in the Ayakashi Bake Neko arc is the schoolboy Masao.

My opinion is that the Mononoke Bake Neko characters are a sort of reincarnation of the characters in the Ayakashi arc. This would explain why the scale bowed at Chiyo…

I hate that stupid Setsuko woman. She was so obnoxious and not very bright when she screamed she still had the evidence. She ahd it coming.

I’m still wondering what the symbolism behind the last ‘cat scene’ meant, where the little orange cat’s costume changes into something really grand and behind him there are lots of other cats. Then they all disappear. Mononoke is so rife with symbolism and imagery that I’m pretty confused most of the time even though I understand the main plot.

its really sad that the mononoke series have only 12 episodes….. and now that i`ve finished watching the series, i want another series of mononoke to continue, but as what others says that this chance would never happen again….. its really frustrating…..
specially i want to know more about the “kusuri uri`s” identity. i know that his features is not an ordinary human but rather like an elf because of his pointy ears……
well…. anyways ,……… i still expect that the author of this story would make another series……… from the demands of fans …….

@CherylHew

Thanks for the comment. Thanks for reading the summaries too. I really appreciate it. Yeah, Mononoke is finally over. I wonder about the possibilities of a sequel. I still have to write my final thoughts regarding the series and once I see Ayakashi, I will make a comparison. ^__^

Mononoke has finally finished.. D: *EMOS* It’s sad to see this series end, there prolly will never be another one like this (while the world will continue to be overflowing with harem anime..) =/ As usual, a big thank you to you for blogging this series and helping people who can’t watch it understand its story~! Your consistent entries are a source of great excitement to me whenever I see them in AnimeNano and I really appreciate your efforts in typing out lengthy summaries every episode! I’ll be watching out for more interesting series from you ^_^
