Fun fact of things inspired by this movie: James Cameron cited Hayao Miyazaki and "Princess Mononoke" as an inspiration for his "Avatar." Movies
That actually makes a lot of sense.. wow
A lot of hate is really geared towards Lady Eboshi in this reaction when the story tells us that she’s a very conflicting character rather than to be considered as “she’s the worst”.
Eboshi destroys nature, which of course is bad. However she takes care of people even when others in society don’t. She bought the contract of every prostitute and gave them free will and gives them respect while the men in that same town don’t respect them. She views people with leprosy as humans deserving of emotion and jobs, and gives them sanctuary when people in the world will leave them to rot. She taught women and the sick how to defend themselves in a world that’s against them. And one of her goals to kill the Forest Spirit is in hopes that it will cure diseases on people who are suffering.
So I wouldn’t consider her to be the absolute worst.
Ashitaka should be *the* example shown to young men to aspire to be.
That opening title sequence, with Hisaishi's Legend of Ashitaka in the background, goosebumps everytime!
SO GOOD, that’s such a great scene! Thanks for watching!
Oh and even the original reveal for the game Breath of the Wild directly mirrors the opening sequence of Princess Mononoke
Didn’t know that either
The people in orange in Princess Mononoke are leprosy patients.
At that time, they were discriminated and persecuted on the grounds that they had done bad deeds in their previous lives or that they were cursed to have the disease.
This is why there seems to be a wall between the villagers and the patients. Even sharing meals with them was avoided because of the curse and the unclean blood that could be passed on.
Also, the official pamphlet distributed at movie theaters stated that Lady Eboshi was sold into slavery when she was young, but killed her husband and ran away.
Some fans have whispered that Sun's mother is actually Lady Eboshi.
Ghibli movies intro are GOAT.
Facts
Princess Mononoke is one of the immortal masterpieces in the history of Japanese cinema, and has been loved by many Japanese people ever since it was first shown in movie theaters in 1997, and is known by everyone from nursery school children to 100 year olds walking with canes.
To begin with, Ghibli's animated works are very beloved in Japan, especially among Japanese under the age of 50 who grew up watching anime, and everyone knows most of the dialogues by heart. Among them, Princess Mononoke is particularly popular.
The opening and closing scenes, the scene where Ashitaka leaves his home village and starts his journey, running across grasslands and rivers, the scene of the early morning fog as he heads west to find the forest where the old sprites live, and the scene where Ashitaka, now fully healed from his injuries, discusses with Moro, the wolf sprit who raised San, are all well-known to Japanese people. The song that appears in the scene where Ashitaka, who has recovered from his injuries, discusses the situation with Moro, the wolf spirits who raised San, is a very popular song in Japan, so much so that many people say, "The lyrics were short or there were no lyrics.
The lyrics may be short or absent, but for some reason this song is very moving and uplifting to us Japanese. It is now our second national anthem.
Indeed, when this song is played or sung at music festivals and choral concerts, the Japanese people's elation is passionate.
(Incidentally, similarly, many people call it Japan's second national anthem, such as Haruyo koi by Yumi Matsutoya, Sakura sung solo by Naotaro Moriyama, Kataritugu koto by Hajime Chitose,and Shima Uta by THE BOOM, a famous song about the tragedy that occurred in Japan at the end of World War II due to the Allied attack, set to a gentle but sad tone.)
And, by the way, the name "A demon," which is translated in English as "a sprite transformed into a hideous form due to hatred of humans," does not mean a demon if translated correctly in Japanese, but rather a sprite that spreads a curse around it, or a sprite that is swallowed by a curse that only amplifies its hatred. The original Japanese name is "demon".
It feels more natural to call them cursed sprits.
Or the disease-obsessed sprits of curses.
That's what it means in Japanese.
The original Japanese word is 祟り神（tatari gami） =祟り（tatari.originally from a good or honest person, the feeling of hating or cursing someone became a strong force) + 神（gami.a variant of kami, the word for "sprits"). It is a completely different word from "demon," which means a creature that was born with evil feelings from the beginning and has not changed mentally since then.
So, as a Japanese, I felt a little uncomfortable with the English translation.
In the Japanese sense, when the characters around them are struggling to return to their original character and temperament (when they know there is a solution or believe in the possibility, even if it takes only a short time to return to normal), it seems a bit hasty to call them demons, and I feel sorry for spirits who are called such.
If you think of a curse like a disease, no matter how hard you try to prevent the disease, sometimes you will get sick, and it's not caused by the person in question.
So whether it is a person or an animal, when they get sick, I feel sorry for them, I want them to get back to normal and get well soon, and I am not in the mood to call people or animals that were not bad to begin with demon.
Calling them demons and their spirits is a long way from such Japanese concepts and traditional ways of thinking.
I feel sorry for these spirits because if they are called like this, it is as if they have given up on the idea that they can no longer be saved and cannot be restored.
If possible, I wish the translator would have thought of some other way to call it that would be more comfortable.
Well, in Japan, tatari gami is abbreviated as 荒御魂(ara mitama) =荒 (ara, an abbreviation of araarashii or araaburu, meaning violent or coarse. In this case, it means that the person has lost self-control or memory for a period of time due to the shock of encountering a sad event such as an incident or accident, and is raging). + 御(mi, a word added at the beginning of a word to show respect. Sometimes it is also read as o or gyo or go) +魂（tama,abbreviation of tamasii, meaning soul, spirit, or mind.) or koujin = 荒（kou.desolate) + 神（jin ,a kanji character meaning god or spirits). Sometimes we call it koujin or ara mitama.
There are many ways to call them, but in the end, tatari gami=ara mitama=koujin=originally they have different personalities, but now they are spirits who have temporarily lost their rationality and are raging because they have encountered some sad event.
If the translation of tatarigami was difficult, it would have been easier to translate it into English in the sense of koujin or ara mitama.
大学の授業レベルや……
何者ですか？

動画を見た感じ、海外の方が多い印象だったのでまさか同じ日本人の方からコメントを頂けるとは思ってませんでした…しかも何かすごい褒めて頂いてありがとうございます、恐縮です。
ただ、すごい褒めて頂いたのにお恥ずかしい話ですいません、大学は20年以上前に何とか単位ギリギリで取って卒業しただけのズボラにもほどがある学生でしたし、今はただの本好きの普通の専業主婦です…。
何だったら超病弱で1年に2回ぐらい呼吸器系の病気で夜間救急にお世話になってそのまま入院コースになるぐらいよわよわでしょっしゅう寝込むため、仕事もバイトも上手く続かず家族に面倒をかけているタイプのダメ人間でして（お恥ずかしい事に実話でコロナにかかった時は元々の体質もあって本当に死ぬかと思いました）、呼吸器科の先生や学生時代の体育の先生に呆れられるぐらい生まれつき筋力ゼロでなかなか運動や子供の外遊びに付き合う事も出来ないので、うちの子に本の読み聞かせしたりUA-camの動画巡りして知識を溜め込んだりするのを最近の僅かな楽しみにして何とか生きているようなオタクな母親です。
解説好きなので家族にはちょっと苦笑されてますけどね。
それこそ幼少期からずっとジブリのキャラ（特にラピュタのドーラおばさまとナウシカのクシャナ殿下）に憧れているんですけど、実際におばさんになったこの年齢でもこの病弱ぶりなので、現実は上手くいかないものです…。
ズボラな性格じゃなく、かつ激務に耐えられる健康な身体だったら海外の方に日本語を教える日本語教師か博物館の学芸員になりたかったんですけどね。
This has always been a favorite of mine! ❤
Always mine too🤍
I really enjoyed you guys enjoying movie www.
Anyway thanks a lot awesome dudes.
We appreciate you watching friend! Welcome to the fam!
I would like to see more Ghibli reaction videos!
Don’t worry they’re coming!
4:28 - "Reminds me of Inuyasha for some reason." "Yeah, yeah, absolutely." That alone made me so happy, and kinda hit me in the face in that I realized why I love both so much, they're very similar in some ways lol. Great reaction! Always wonderful to see appreciate for this movie. One of the best Ghibli has ever made.
This is still my all time favorite Ghibli movie, since I first saw it at the age of 12, so 22y ago. I've gotten the VHS back then for Christmas and at that time it was also shown on free TV for the first time.
Ugh I’d die for a vhs of this, so cool thanks for watching let us know if you have any recommendations!

That’s the plan!
I will alway's love this movie. ^^

3:51 I mean Tears of the Kingdom is pretty much just Princess Mononoke in video game form lol
True?
@@brosnshows it has not been “officially” stated or anything like that (I don’t think it has anyway), but if you see gameplay of it it’s obvious it’s been heavily inspired by the film, even cut scenes in the game look like scenes from the film.
Damn that’s actually crazy
I was shocked by how violent this movie was when I first saw it.
Same.. I was like 10 lol
@@brosnshows Didn’t know of this movie till I was in my late 20s.
what did you think?@@BuzryHaproMandalorianHunter
@@brosnshows I loved the animation and the other works that Ghibli’s done. Just saw The Boy and the Heron yesterday.
Top 3 for me is 1. Princess Mononoke 2. Princess Kaguya 3. Spirited Away
Still haven’t seen Princess Kaguya or Spirited Away so I definitely will be watching those on here soon. Thanks for the comment Alex! 🤍🙏🏻
The wind rises reaction please 🙏🏻
loooooooove this
Love you!!!!🙏🏻
I think it was 2011 or 2012 - my college best friend recommended it and when I tell you the ending almost made me cry??
Same man, favorite Ghibli film hands down
Princess Mononoke takes place in Japan between 1336 to 1573.
Although it appears to be a happy ending, Japan then enters the Sengoku period, and wars ensue for approximately 140 years (1467 to 1615).
ぜひ日本語バージョンでもみて見て欲しいです！
