Popular anime series Mononoke will be back in 2023 with a brand new anime film!
The new teaser video includes lines voiced by Takahiro Sakurai, who is reprising his role as the Medicine Seller.
First released in 2007, Mononoke is well remembered for its avant-garde aesthetics and textured animation resembling Japanese washi paper. The story follows the mysterious Medicine Seller as he travels from place to place in feudal Japan, fighting various ayakashi spirits encountered along the way.

A crowdfunding campaign for the film will begin at 8:00 pm on June 24. 2022. Overseas fans will also be able to participate via Kickstarter.
