Princess Mononoke

release year: 1997
genre: anime fantasy
viewing setting: theater 7/13/24

synopsis: A young warrior embarks on a quest to stop evil.

impressions: This was pretty good. It starts off as something simple but turns out to involve a lot of different people with different agendas. The animation is top-notch and the plot is complex to say the least (and has some environmental overtones for sure.) I really liked the various fantastical elements (monsters, battle tactics, mythology.)

acting: n/a but the voice actors and subtitles were of high quality

final word: Superior animated fantasy epic, well worth seeing..
