Right now, Mononoke is on Crunchyroll and several other platforms, sitting at 8/10 on TMDB. Consistently well-regarded, and easy to understand why once you start watching.
At its heart, Mononoke is a procedural that understands what makes the genre work — character first, plot second. The Medicine Seller is a deadly and mysterious master of the occult who travels across feudal Japan in search of malevolent spirits called mononoke to slay. When he locates one of these spirits, he cannot simply kill it; he must first learn its Form, its Truth, and its Reason in order to wield the mighty Exorcism Sword and fight against it. He must begin his strange exorcisms with intense psychological analysis and careful investigative work—an extremely dangerous step, as he must first confront and learn about the mononoke before he even has the means to defeat it. Takahiro Sakurai and Daisuke Namikawa lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2007.
Perfect for viewers who think they've already seen all the great crime dramas. Mononoke is the one that tends to prove them wrong.
