{{quote|''"[[Blatant Lies|I'm just a simple medicine peddler.]]"''}}
Not to be confused with ''[[Princess Mononoke]]'', the Miyazaki film.▼
A spin-off of the horror anime ''[[Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales]]'', though unlike ''Ayakashi'' the mononoke pursued have merged with the strong emotions of humans, making them even more dangerous and hard to combat.
Line 11 ⟶ 9:
The style of the anime is done in the [[Unmoving Pattern]] style of ''[[Gankutsuou]]'' (although to a lesser extent--there are actually some solid colors here and there, for example), and though it may take some getting used to, the way the series utilizes it is absolutely chilling in certain cases. Highly recommended, though be prepared for a [[Mind Screw]] of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' proportions and lots of unanswered questions.
▲Not to be confused with ''[[Princess Mononoke]]'', the Miyazaki film.
Line 41:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: The Medicine Peddler is shown to possess brutally dry wit, especially when it concerns people who annoy him or get in his way (like the samurai in the Bakeneko story from the ''Ayakashi'' series).
* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: Much of the Nue arc; the backgrounds are all like this and only certain important aspects of characters are coloured. However the Medicine Peddler is in full colour, and after he takes down the mononoke the rest of the colour returns, though it's [[Mind Screw|a little hard to tell if that's real or not.]]
* [[Deranged Animation]]: Oh ''yes''.{{context}}
* [[
* [[Dramatic Pause]]: The... Medicine... Peddler... loves... this trope.
* [[Dramatic Wind]]: The Medicine Peddler seems to be affected by this even when he's ''inside''. Plus it's sparkly.
Line 119 ⟶ 120:
* [[Takahiro Sakurai]]: The Medicine Peddler's seiyuu.
* [[Theme Naming]]: All the tracks on the OST are written in katakana and end in "怪" (''ke''/''ge''), just like "Mononoke".
▲* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: The radio plays the instrumental mix of the opening theme in Setsuko's room while she's writing in the Bakeneko arc.
* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: The Bakeneko's [[Catch Phrase|only first-hand dialogue]].
* [[Time Skip]]: The Bakeneko arc takes place in the 1920s while the rest appears to be set in the Edo Period, but the Medicine Peddler himself hasn't changed at all (besides having some new jewelery). There are arguably small hints in each arc that time skips forward about 50 years in between ''each'' of them.
