The one of the all time Anime that is magically made and take you to the time of legends and fantastic creatures. This one always made me feel good and bring a lot of emotions in the plate when you watch it. Highly recommended to re-watch in different times of your life as then you look at some parts differently. This animation is made that all characters are true to themself through all movie and some of them evolve rapidly and you can see the real change. The plot have few twists that is unexpected but most of the time is the easy to fallow the story line. The all information that are showed from very beginning are easy to get into the magical world that you will explore for the next one hour. You quickly get into feelings that you share with main characters and their vision of the world. The side characters bring some light comedy and fresh breeze to quite heavy main story. The creation of animals and nature is breathtaking and is made in the way that in some point you forgot that you are watching animation and it is not a movie. Movements and colors of every scene are made very thoroughly that everything is keeping with the imagination of viewer when watching it.
Especially when you don't know much about east legends or believes in this picture you can easily get into the magical world of nature and learn about earth and world spirits. Spirits and high beings are showed in their best and the worst times. You can see how human world is effecting the natural order and how is dealing with spiritual aspects. There is showed both sides of humans who are living with spirits in natural order and ones that stopping believing them, and also the Princess that is on another level somewhere between both worlds.
Of course there is time for romance and emotions that are for some characters unnatural and it is not easy to see them. Choosing between right and wrong is not always the straight option and can break heart.
Main characters evolve in some part rapidly and you can see how that happens and why they choose that option not other one. Some of the characters you have bad feelings from the very begging but through when story of them is explained, you start to see their point of situation and then you know that every story have two different sides. In this anime there is no bad and good person every person have grey side and all is followed based on their life choices. To not spoil for anyone the story.
If you wish to went into magical lands and beautiful places and be part of great story this is anime one to watch. Getting into wild nature, exploring never seen part of the forest and getting to know the all kind of culture and spirits with a note of romance.
Don't hesitate and lean into world of Princess Mononoke!
