I wouldn't use cardi b as part of your advertisement. That's gonna turn a lot of people away

The funny thing is bad Santa is that in this

Won’t Talk About *Berserk: The Egg of the King* ?

Hey steve. You're beutiful.

Nausica is an underrated favorite of mine. If we're getting obscure, Castle in the Sky, Porco Rosso. Princess Monoke has always been one of my favorites.

Steve you're beautiful

I saw this on my grand TV when I was 5 and had no idea what it was, it scared the shit out of me.

Poop da doop poopski shoopski do

1:45 Yeah, knowing it was rated 'PG', I was shocked by the violence in this film. Decapitations, gory mutations and a lot of blood, like I'd expect from a 12. Guess kids were tougher in 1997!

All studio Ghiblis are absolute masterpieces (besides grave of the fireflies we don't talk about that one)

My childhood movie, I love this movie!

Hey Steve, you’re beautiful 🤩

One of my favorite ghibli films is porco rosso, i didnt find it especially deep or any thing, but its a cute film with beautiful scenery

I loved this movie but unfortunately ashitaka bored me to death 😐i loved everything else, every other character beside him. He didnt even feel like a person, just an idea of wholesomeness or something. The boars were more interesting than him. His romance also felt rushed. A great movie but it has its little flaw

i'm glad that you liked these films. but the criticisms aren't worth saying and the story is actually refreshing as dar as points of view are concerned. i think that your criticisms are made because you see these films as "typical" animated movies and think that the story shoul always feature whats in the poster and whatnot. see the bigger picture.

10:39 opisits atract

Great video 👍 didn’t just called it a masterpiece like everyone else

Blood, violence, drama, dismemberment, gore, chaos... U.S.: That's definitely R-rated! PG-13 at minimum! Everywhere Else: PG-rating.... What?! You're weird!

"Quick, let's play a game: How many different ways can I pronounce Ashitakas name!"

I dissagree with every complane of yours cuz the demon mark thing was very utelized (if i typed that correctly) and the film would have sucked without ashitaka or san and they dont have a love story they have a relationship story (is that the right term ?) and they dont have it cuz they find eichother atractive they are interested in eichother. Ashitaka cuz he saw how animalistick san was and san cuz of the interaction in that scene and later in the movie cuz san thinks his oun people shot him

Ashitaka is the name of the boy. Not Atikashi.

ashitaka!

If the war between humans and the forest inhabitants happened in like 2004 then humanity would win because guns and nukes and tanks also fighter jets..... and chemical weapons

Fun fact: the spider monster in princess mononoke is an inspiration for the guardian mob in the legend of zelda breath of the wild

I was gona buy them when he said snoop dog But he lost me with cardi b

Incredible Film!

Howl's moving Castle review? Please...if your not super busy or want to that is

your narration style would suit a parody weather channel

how do you expect us to take this review seriously when you can't even pronounce the main character's name correctly, especially when his name is spoken by various characters dozens of time throughout the movie

Team Human is the best team! I'm human, so those boars would want me dead too!

what negatives??? most of the movies and cartoons you review dont have negatives, the gruesome and violent scenes are put there for a rason

You’re beautiful Steve. You are beautiful

If the "negatives" were fixed the film wouldn't be good, am I right guys?

9:33 To address this 100% valid complaint that I relate to, it turns out that in Japanese the film’s title, “Princess Mononoke” roughly translates to “Daughter of the Spirit of Vengeance” or “Daughter/Princess of Vengeance”. In that sense, the title is not just the Princess’ name on the cover, the title was intended to reflect how the plot’s theme of Vengeance kinda distorts each of the characters. I still do agree with you that the Princess probably should have had a bigger role/impact on the story; maybe an extra small subplot if Lady Eboshi healing/taking in Princess Mononoke as a sister while the other animals in the forest are blindly hostile. 🤔

I never liked this movie... I was told by many people I'd come around and like anime if I watched it. Well... not really. The movie has the heavy-handed message of "industrialism vs nature" but I find it hard to sympathize with either side. The nature spirits are murderous and feral to begin with, even without the infection, and hate all humans. The metal princess is a clear cut cackling villain and I was unhappy she did not meet her demise, she might be protecting her subjects but she seems to be so utterly overjoyed from killing the animals it was sickening. The poor prince just gets shanghaied into this against his will and frankly I'd just say "let them fight it out". Also the art style especially the creepy worms and infected animals was downright disgusting. Japan and Miyazaki especially has a tendency to make even cool monsters just look repulsive. Oh and then they throw in that extra plot about the weird monk bounty hunter who plays both sides... and somehow thinks that he can defeat these super powerful spirits with just a few soldiers? I dunno. It was a mess. Never rewatched it.

In my opinion, "Princess Mononoke" is actually the most serious film that Studio Ghibli has ever made. I absolutely loved this film. You got me again Hayao Miyazaki, great work.

I’m so glad Lady Eboshi slaughtered and murdered the Forest Spirit. 🥳

No mention of Jigo the Monk? He was a physical representation of profiteer greed and opportunism. Still a good review.

Obi-wan approved

I've been Binge watching studio Ghibli films and this one was good but definitely not my top favorite tho-

Bruh, his name is Ashitaka, not Atakashi 🤣

There is a literal war between the animals and the humans, yes, but most of the time these kind of literal struggles in Miyazaki movies are ALSO metaphorical on another level. He loves to sneak in environmentalist ideals, and thus you will often see the nature vs humanity element in his movies.

The American rating system doesn't exist in Japan, though. In Japan they use Eirin (映倫), and there this movie was rated the equivalent of PG-12, not PG-13.

I watched this when I was a kid and I cant sleep for 2 days beaause of that boar

So this is like Ocarina of Time the movie. Pretty epic ngl.

I would say you should check out elfen lied for review but it's a miniseries anime that takes a couple watchings to get it all.

What are your thoughts on “Song of the Sea”?

You're beautiful Steve. Unlike me. >.>

nice review but there is nothing wrong with princess mononoke

You are so beautiful to me. Can't you see Steve. LA LA

The german voices are the best tho

This was my First Studio Ghibli movie and it utterly fantastic!

plugging ear plugs before an ecologist movie liek a boss

Steve you're...really....bEaUtiFuL

You know what Steve, I'll take Cheesey classic love interests in a heart beat rather than the Garbage America makes with their *NEW* films

The only film where Main character being in their only side of team and fighting with opposite Somehow being together with the opposite side and become great with their lifestyle Main Character in love with the opposite side Main Character But didn’t switch side and join both side together unlike these movie where they switch side: -Avatar -Break Point -Fast and the Furious -The Last Samurai

I’d love to see howl’s moving castle next!

7:10 The boar itself is blended with 3d tho.

I remember when I was about 7 or 6 and I got fucking ptsd for a few months from that shit. Love the movie tho

When i watched this film i was young like 4 years or something and i was like man yhere is a lot of ketchup in this movie

This is the first time I've skipped a spoiler sequence because I've been putting off watching this for way too long

Ashitaka

Steve your beautiful

pompoko its other interesting movie In the first minutes of the movie you see when they change characters to realistic drawing characters into more catoonie animeish character.

reminds me of telltale music at the end that is.

I remember this movie I think I saw in class when I was around 10 or something I hope I can watch it again just to appreciate it now that I'm older Also I heard this movie was big inspiration for breath of the wild with demonic boar inspiring the Guardian and the forest spirit obviously inspiring the spirit of the mountain in breath of the wild, the tree spirits obviously having some effect on the koroks!

I see a striking resemblance to this movie and Breath of the Wild. Like, Mononoke is just as little the main focus as Zelda is in her games and she has the same exact haircut as Zelda in BotW2. I’m also willing to bet that Link’s spirit arm in BotW2 is based on the main guy’s demon infested arm in Mononoke. Perhaps in BotW2, this means that Ganondorf possesses Link somehow.

Damn its hard enough to kill a normal boar one of those fuckers would be insane

Ashitaka, his name is ASHITAKA. SAY HIS NAAAAAME lol.

Mononoke Hime was the first digitally filmed Ghibli film. So every film before 1997 were drawn frame by frame.

I loved your review and I always enjoy your perspective....but....AH-SHI-TA-KA. is how you pronounce the protagonist's name. And the character you kept referring to as 'Princess Mononoke' is San. She's only refered to as "Mononoke Hime" in Japanese, or "Princess of the Gods of the Forest" (or Princess Mononoke) by Iron Town's residents.

you know its gonna be good when he has to pick up a sponsor

DO HOWLS MOVING CASTEL PLEASEEEEE

My favorite movie

I actually liked the conflict between the animals and humans bcuz it wasn’t a black and white good vs evil scenario both sides are good just their interests are in opposite and thats how real life actually is

Would you watch Arrietty or Nausicä Valley of the Wind? Arrietty is my fav Ghibli movie while the other movie made Ghibli what it became to be and is a huge joy to watch. ^^

1:56 That is a POWERFUL ACCURATE STRIKE!!!😳3:08 How did NOTHING hit the whole time?! 9:13 SERIOUSLY DUDE?! 9:39 Uhhh...what was she doing there?...

Hey, Steve, you're beautiful.

How about My Neighbor Totoro next?

I agree that love for the sake of love is not needed. Love/affection out of actual experiences and connections is natural

Spirited Away was really intense for me as a kid. My grandma and grandpa got it for me to watch when I was really young. I loved it but like I said... Intense! Studio Ghibli really had lightning in a bottle with it's films!

Bow oh boy I watched this when I was smaller and it gave me nightmares

Is it me or does the director of this film at 1:37 look like the KFC guy

9:10 Oh my lord XD

TEAM FOUR STAR INSN’T IN THE DESCRIPTION. COPY RIGHT MY MAN ... nah jk idk how that works and ain’t gonna call it out

Honestly, I would have reviewed the movie watching the sub rather than dub. Since some if not most of the lines are totally taken out of context when it was transfered to dub. Though I hadn't seen the movie in sub my self to see the difference. Though I do agree that Ahashitaka's role with the Curse should have been better utilized. When I first saw the movie as saw him having to fight his arm, it probably would have been interesting if he was possessed temporary like as it it was making it's final jump before killing him. Much like the giant white bore God's transformation into a demon

........FOR MY OPINION IT'S OVERWHELMED WITH DETAILS WHICH MAKES TO FEEL LIKE YOU'RE WATCHING INTO PIT OF MAGGOTS..WHOLE MOVIE =AND WHY IT WOULDNT BE AVAILABLE IF WOULDNT BE ON NETFLIX........EVERYTHING IS ON TORRENTS,HEHE

For the life of me I can’t watch a studio gibly movie because they remind me too much of my ex, not in a hate way but in a sad way

Howl's moving castle. I dare you.

It bothers me so much he keeps saying Atikashi and not Ashitaka, but it isnt a massive thing, overall the video is still simply AMAZING, and this is one of my fav ghibli films outside of The castle in the sky and Ponyo.

YOU MUST SEE ALL OF CHIBLIS MOVIES,,,,,,, or you sir are a sinner.

I watched this as a 4 year old and i am still traumotized. I dont remember where i saw it, but damn i shit my pants

Ashitaka! Not atakashi

The beautiful piano piece near the end of the film is called 'Ashitaka and San' and is my absolute favourite. Wonderful film and was my first glance at 'Not just for children' animation

Great movie.

Don't worry steve You're beautiful:)

You’re beautiful

My nieghtbour Totoro If you not wached *THIS* you'r life is meaningless. Or wach Tombstone for the Fireflies

I love this film, have it on bluray. Nice review, the only gripe I have is. ASH-EE-TOK-AH You pronounced the protagonist’s name so many different ways during your review LOL 😂

Anyone catch that moment at 5:50ish when he mispronounced ashitaka? Just me? Ok
