Zephyr Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Yes, it is time once more for two reviews from the evil anime reviewer. First off: [b]Princess Mononoke[/b] This is an awesome anime and it has it all: action, violence, sappy love scenes and a giant life-sucking blob. For anyone that has not seen this anime I suggest finding it, quickly. No matter what genre you enjoy you will definately enjoy this anime. And on top of it all, it does a great job of addressing humankind's arrogance, greed and mistreatment of nature (not to mention what can happen because of it). Next: [b]Vandread[/b] An interesting, yet very strange anime. I have yet to see more then the first four episodes, but will still ad my opinion of what I saw. This anime is filled with action, but seems a bit lacking when it comes to a storyline. The idea of two planets (one of men and one of women) creating total hate for each other in only a few generations time seems a bit too much. Maybe if they had set it after about five generations I could believe it, but after only two (maybe three) it does not seem right. Other then that the first episodes were not too bad, with a lot of action and mildly perverse humor. Add to that the main female character is a total ditz and you have enough action and humor to amuse yourself a few times. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaola Su Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I love Princess Mononoke! I watch it almost every night before I go to sleep and I have had it for like a year and a half! It is so awesome and I agree with you on all you said Black_Phoenix! Kaola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbfrontmanvdp Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 This anime movie was really good, kinda goes along the bases of Akira in a way. The character development of each character was really good and the fighting scenes were excellent as well. Some of it didnt make sense though [spoiler] How ordinary people were able to kill some of the gods in the movie so easily, i mean that kinda didnt make sense, and how the wolf god was some how able to attack/bite the one girls arm when its head was off but oh well still a really good movie [/spoiler]. The ending gave a good moral and insite of what is going to eventually happen to us in the future [spoiler] how we destroy mother nature and eventually mother nature will destroy us if we keep abusing it [/spoiler]. Just want to know what people thought of the movie if they liked it or not and why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have edited your first post, which is what you should do from now on. I have also merged this thread with the other Mononoke thread that was started not long ago. *QA*[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurama_Fan Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Okay.... I have a question. Yu see, I have never seen Mononoke Hime in English. Just the trailer, and that was a year ago, I think. (I rented it from the library) Is the english dub of M.H. Good? Just wanted to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think I got the chance to see the subbed part of the DVD, but the dubbed had the voices of actually TV/movies stars, so you did not wind up with the over-exaggerated voices that some anime dubs have. In the dubbed version I remember that Gillian Anderson played the roll of Moro (Wolf God) and the Billy-Bob Thorton (sp?) played Jigo (monk in red and white outfit). Both of them did very well, IMO.
