Malevolent Spirits: Mononogatari
A supernatural action anime grounded in Japanese mythology that pairs martial combat with emotional reconciliation, exploring how trauma and grace shape one's relationship to the otherworldly.
Filled with rage against spirits known as tsukumogami, Kunato Hyoma is sent to live with Nagatsuki Botan to help him see a different side. Though both are part of a clan that return the spirits back to their world with divine powers, their experiences with the otherworldly vessels are vastly different. Kunato, robbed of a loved one, and Nagatsuki, saved by them. Can she get through to him?
