Movie Debate #115: Princess Mononoke

[RH | 4,924]

Ugh, ok. Yeah, I'm not going to be getting HBO.  I guess I'll have to bootleg stream these if I'm going too.

There are tons of releases for these movies, btw.  Blu-Ray, DVD, all sorts.  Some may be on Netflix also.  They are worth the cost of admission - trust me

I rated this one a 10, because it's just all-around an amazing movie with some great themes.  It's beautiful, in many different ways.  It's always a toss-up for me between Nausicaa, Mononoke Hime, and Laputa (Castle in the Sky) because I love them all SO much.  I'd rate all three 10s personally.

Where is the easiest (as in free) way to stream these?

Netflix has every single Ghibli film

8/10. In incredible film. 

My favorite Ghibli (and probably my favorite anime) is Nausicaa. I'm glad to see it get some love here because it is amazing. I've got a bunch of the comic manga for that one as well.

Next is Castle in the Sky and then probably this one. It's hard to go wrong with a lot of them though. I definitely love a lot of the 70's/80's animation styles. 

Gotta love the 80s and 90s high fantasy stuff.

Then they stopped and did like, Wind Rises and Up On Poppy Hill.  Dammit Ghibli!

Imo those are both amazing movies. But if you aren't into drama/romance movies then I get why you might not like them. Both give some interesting insights into Japanese culture and events.

It's fine.  But, I feel like it's comparing The Aviator with The Lord of the Rings.  Just different pantheons of entertainment.

9/10. I don't remember too much except that it was awesome. Can't wait to rewatch with my kids.

5/10 - saw it once in the theater.  My friends convinced me to see it with them.

Japanese fiction is not my thing.  This was right smack dab in the middle of "ok" for me.  I've seen this and Spirited Away, and they didn't do it for me.  I'm hopeless.

 

My favorite Japanese movie of all time is Shoplifters.
