Both the art direction and style are similar - so if you're a fan of eye candy give this a go too. On the surface that seems to be the only similarity - but both main characters are also similar in that they are both not what they seem to be with a supernatural twist and that both have a single purpose for living. Everyone else is swept away by their agenda and powers.

For someone who is a fan of the unique art style of Gankutsuou, you will enjoy the similar art style employed in Mononoke. Further, if you enjoyed the surrealist aspects of Gankutsuou, you will find much of the same in Mononoke. While the plots may be quite different, for anyone who is in to alternate art styles and truly unique stories - Mononoke delivers just as Gankutsuou does on these fronts.
