The Gentle Monsters of The Morose Mononokean: A Podcast on Yōkai Folklore

In this podcast, we explore the world of The Morose Mononokean. We'll talk about the yōkai in the anime, where their stories come from in Japanese folklore, and how the show turns potentially scary monsters into characters we can connect with. We'll look at how these ancient tales shape the story and the main characters, Ashiya and Abeno, and discuss the anime's focus on empathy and understanding.
