Despite some unclear character motivation and visual excess, Mononoke The Movie: The Phantom in the Rain delivers a tale worth experiencing. Its mystery and characters will draw viewers into a unique world that they won’t soon forget. Go to Full Review

I will recommend giving Mononoke a watch before dipping your toes into The Phantom in the Rain so that, at the very least, you have an idea of the vibe. If you love the show already, then I don’t think you need my approval to watch the film. Go to Full Review

But Mononoke's biggest merit is not to fall into the easy trap of delivering style over substance. As gorgeous as it looks, the animated feature also delivers a heck of a compelling story. Go to Full Review

3/5
If the original series was cool, with its deliberate pacing, ironic detachment and dry humor, and that swinging theme song by jazz singer Charlie Kosei, the film version is hot: overwhelming, in-your-face, nonstop and loud. Go to Full Review

Esra Y Aug 10 Maybe they aimed for psychedelic fever dream with the Animation style. I mean it's extremely beautiful to look at but i don't think it worked with story other than distracting. Story is also another thing it was so confusing and blurry. See more Robson C Mar 25 Duas jovens chegam a Ooku, palácio onde moram as concubinas do imperador. Neste palácio, apenas mulheres podem entrar. Elas chegam para trabalhar como criadas e crescer lá dentro. Porém, um estranho espírito coloca todos em risco e apenas um estranho boticário pode salvá-los. A primeira coisa que chama atenção neste anime é o visual, bem diferente do que estamos acostumados a ver. O fundo parece uma pintura viva. Tudo é muito colorido e a figura do boticário chama muito atenção. O roteiro mistura histórias de fantasmas com intrigas palacianas. Há uma disputa silenciosa para subir no apreço do imperador e tornar-se sua favorita, mas isso fica meio escondido na trama. Quando chega os momentos das lutas, tudo fica muito psicodélico. O que pode causar confusão no público. Há passagens que fiquei na dúvida do que estava acontecendo. Uma experiência bem diferente para quem quer fugir de um anime tradicional. See more Thuzar L Jan 28 As someone who avidly watched the original Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales mini-series, and Mononoke 2007, this movie was amazing. Stunningly animated and emotionally moving, though potentially confusing at times, Karakasa is a masterpiece. I highly recommend! Though, you should probably watch the other media in the series first (as above). See more David H 12/22/2024 One of the best Netflix movies of the year, it's a movie full of emotions, I recommend that everyone who likes Japanese culture watch it. See more J Y 12/21/2024 The visuals are mind-bending and overwhelming in a positive way but the story is deeply intriguing as well. My mouth was hanging open for a good ten minutes during the climax of the movie. Superb animation that looks way ahead of its time, like a celebration Japanese art from the year 2080. Worth a second watch to really uncover all the rich visual details including the stylistic references and homage to ukiyo-e paintings. Feels like taking a magic carpet ride through a Japanese painting. See more Alejandro E @Alex970 12/15/2024 La historia y lo estético están lo bastante equilibrados para mantener el interés de quienes conocen la serie de drama sobrenatural. Es cierto que hay que darle tiempo para que la acción tome forma, y el resultado final no decepciona. See more Read all reviews
