Set in the Taisho era, Demon Slayer makes the most of its historical setting to tell a compelling supernatural story draped in a stunning aesthetic. With a similar focus on stunning art direction and a story of supernatural encounters with demons and monsters, underrated gem Mononoke is a must-watch for fans of Demon Slayer. Both series make the most of their historical settings, fully embracing them to deliver compelling stories. While Demon Slayer is a fast-paced, long-running action series, Mononoke is a 12 episode mystery-horror series, but stands a worthy companion and to Demon Slayer.
