ONI: Thunder God’s Tale is an animated series by Tonko House (The Dam Keeper). The story takes place in a world of oddball gods and monsters from Japanese mythology. We follow young Onari on her quest to become a legendary hero and protect her peaceful village from the mysterious Oni. The visual style of the film takes inspiration from stop-motion puppetry and looks a stunning and heartwarming debut series from Tonko House.
ONI: Thunder God’s Tale is now streaming on Netflix.
