    Head into a world of Japanese gods and monsters with Dice Tsutsumi and “Oni: Thunder God’s Tale.” The new animated series from Tonko House and Netflix is a gorgeous story of family and belonging. It follows Momona Tamada as Onari, raised by her father Naru-don (voiced by Craig Robinson) in their mountain village. Onari must find her place as the threat of the mysterious and ominous Oni circles in on her home.
