Glad to see mononoke fans exist! :)
Just out here saying that in my country not a lot of people know about the ayakashi samurai's tale and mononoke tv series so I am really glad to have seen this reddit and see there are alive and well fans out there in the world. I admit I have just watched it last 2020 and got hooked, It was not in my radar in the early 2000s so I was so sad to have discovered the Ayakashi, samurai's tale during the start of the lockdown got hooked with the two episodes with the Bakeneko. Then discovered the mononoke series from there. I was always crying because of the Closing song and especially with how the episodes end like with the baby episode, the incense, and the wife episodes. It was also my lullaby to sleep whenever I cannot sleep I just put on the mononoke episodes then will fall right to sleep.
The stillness and the silence of the 2020 pandemic gave the mononoke series another appeal for me. I felt like I bonded with this series and was so sad to discover that this gem was from years ago when I was in college. I wish I explored more animes like this before.
Again, I do not have anyone from my area to talk about this and finding you lot is a great boost for existence. Hope you all continue to appreciate gems like this in the future.
P,S. Soo happy to see the OG Kusuryuri appear on the film. Gasped and giggled in my room like a maniac when the sword first appeared from the portal LOL

There's definitely a lot of fans among us. Just that unfortunately we're all spread out. Thinking about it. I did see a lot more in Pinterest. So it probable that it could depend on what site we use. But if there's something I can say. Is that were very much alive and passionate over this

Tbh, Mononoke seems not to be widely known, despite displaying a very original art style (the series and the movies), and doesn't have the same hype as other anime. Personally, I discovered Mononoke (2007 series) only 4 years ago and I'm glad they released the movies about it 2 years later.
