# Where to Watch Mononoke

**Mononoke streams on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Tubi — remarkable reach for one of the most visually radical series ever made. Kenji Nakamura's psychedelic horror anthology about a nameless Medicine Seller exorcising vengeful spirits looks like ukiyo-e prints set in motion, and there is truly nothing else like it.**

## Where to Watch

- [Tubi TV](https://tubitv.com/series/1624/mononoke)

Three services carry it — Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Tubi, the last one free with ads. Any of them works; the show's arcs are short, self-contained, and perfect for one-a-night viewing.

## Synopsis

A soft-spoken Medicine Seller drifts through feudal Japan, arriving wherever a mononoke — a spirit grown monstrous on human grief and sin — has taken root. He cannot simply strike it down: to draw his exorcising sword he must first uncover the spirit's Form, its Truth, and its Reason — which means excavating the very human cruelties that birthed it. Each arc is a locked-room ghost story where the real horror is what people did to each other, told through paper-textured, riotously colored art that turns every frame into a woodblock print.
