I watched the previous Mononoke anime and it seemed like a wonderful series with an incredible aura. It was captivating, mysterious, serene, intriguing. The main character Kusuriuri was mesmerizing, and the rest of the supporting characters in each story all have their own original looks, personalities and background. This movie has none of that, it's a nonsense, a complete waste of time.
The studio in charge of making it isn't the same as before and hasn't understood anything about the magic of the previous work. They thought that putting in lots of colors and constant flashy scenes was enough. All aspects seem much worse to me
...
in comparison. I had to make an effort not to drop the movie before finishing it.
To have made such a poor continuation I would have preferred that they did nothing, honestly. I feel that this movie tarnishes the general quality of the series.
Also, as an extra detail, they changed the previous seiyuu of the main character Kusuriuri (Takahiro Sakurai) whose previous voice in that character hypnotized you in every sentence. And even without taking that into account, Kusuriuri here seems like a completely different character acting in a way that doesn't match the personality he had before. Now he seems like a quirky random character taken from Naruto filler chapters. Another very negative point from my point of view.
The aura is totally lost, this movie is a colorful empty shell.
