The stage greeting event commemorating the opening of the Mononoke: Karakasa anime movie revealed on Saturday that a second installment is in production.

Voice actor Hiroshi Kamiya, who plays the lead character Kusuriuri (Medicine Seller) in the movie, mentioned that the recording for the sequel will begin on Sunday.

Kenji Nakamura (Kuuchuu Buranko) returned to direct the movie at EOTA. Yuuichi Takahashi (Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song) designed the characters and Taku Iwasaki (Bungou Stray Dogs) composed the music. The movie commemorates the original anime series' 15th anniversary.

Nakamura directed the fantasy horror series at Toei Animation, with Takashi Hashimoto (C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control) serving as the character designer and chief animation director.
