Okay, so we watched the first 7 episodes to Mononoke tonight and it's been enjoyable so far. It's a bit slow moving, but very suspenseful and creepy at times. The animation has this pappery texture to it, making it look like it has been animated on a scroll or something. It's quite neat and fits the weirdness of the show perfectly. It's an anthology of horror tales rather than a character series, giving it a nice Tales from the Crypt/Twilight Zone type feel to it, just with a reoccuring character, a mysterious Yokai hunter dude named the Medicine Peddler. The first two episodes revolved around the Yokai Zashiki Warashi, the next three were a tale on the sea with an Umibozu, while the third dealt with the Nappero-Bo (Faceless Ghost) in another two-parter. There's two more stories, one being 2 episodes with the last being 3.

Now I need to pick up Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales, which is the series that introduced the Medicine Peddler in one of its segments.

EDIT:

Finished the whole series. It was damn good. I wish it was a 26 episode one.
