Described as a supernatural tale created for the modern age, Mononoke The Movie: The Phantom in the Rain is a new film directed by Kenji Nakamura (Gatchaman Crowds, Tsuritama) and produced by EOTA (Burn the Witch, Drifting Home). The film is stated to be the first part of a trilogy of planned films, and looks to have adopted a very stylised visual approach.
Synopsis:
In the chambers of the Edo harem, two newcomers uncover political intrigue, rivalry and a vengeful spirit only one traveling medicine seller can vanquish.
