[b]Mononoke[/b] is a damn good series. What surprised me most about it is how accessible the series is -- even though it's so steeped in Japanese mythology and folklore, you don't really need to know that much about it to enjoy [b]Mononoke[/b]. The show also has one of the few moments in anime to legitimately creep me out ([spoiler]the shot in the final arc when the female reporter is on the train tracks and helplessly watches the train speed toward her[/spoiler]).

Yeah, that is an incredibly creepy part... Her lines make it even more so.
I also really like Karas. Nue is my favorite character. It can get very violent, and also confusing story wise. Good thing Nue and that female karas do some exposition at the beginning of the second part.
