Hopefully you’re ready for the second season of The Morose Mononokean anime, because it’s about to return to Japanese TV on January 5, 2019. Columbia Music’s Japanese YouTube channel is definitely ready, as evidenced by the arrival of the season’s opening animation, which features mono palette.’s “Long Time Traveler” as the theme song.
Based on the manga by Kiri Wazawa, The Morose Mononokean season 2 has Akira Iwanaga directing at anime studio Pierrot+. Check out the OP prior to broadcast below.
Crunchyroll publishes the manga digitally and streamed the first season as it aired. Here’s how they describe the story:
“Exorcism” is the art of sending yokai who have somehow wandered into the living world back into the underworld, where they belong. One day Hanae Ashiya, a high school student who’s been haunted by a yokai, happens to find the contact information of an exorcist called the “Mononokean” and pays him a visit. The exorcist he meets is a morose-looking young man, Haruitsuki Abeno, and for various reasons Ashiya ends up working for the Mononokean… And so the story of the exorcist duo Ashiya and Abeno, and the yokai they meet in their adventures, begins.
