Of course, this may only be in the English dubbed version that I watched, or the script. My only real complaint here is that sometimes the dialogue comes out a bit dull and lacks the gravitas that the very scene calls for. That's when you know the characters have plenty of depth. Yes, Ashitaka is the protagonist, but I wasn't necessarily rooting for any particular side to win. Each of the several sides to this ongoing battle against the forest have reason for fighting. The mythology is incredibly well-realized and thought out as well. Even if it's a television series, the lore calls for this to be adapted into live-action. One of my first thoughts while watching was how good this story could be in live-action form. For an animation film, the runtime is unusually long, but the epic scope and beautiful storytelling transcend typical animations. Speaking of relentless, even at over 2 hours long, this film flies by with brisk pacing and gorgeous animation by Studio Ghibli.
A visceral story from the brilliant mind of Hayao Miyazaki, Princess Mononoke is a joyous ride through the eyes of Ashitaka, a brave warrior who finds himself caught in the crossfire of relentless humans and vicious creatures of the forest.
