I remember watching *Mononoke* a few years ago and being completely captivated by its striking visuals and incredible storytelling. Even 17 years later, the series hasn’t lost its charm. The fact that it even got a movie still amazes me, but I’m glad people continue to appreciate thought-provoking, philosophical, and avant-garde anime. I might need to rewatch it sometime—or dive into an analysis—to fully grasp all the ideas conveyed in the movie. It’s always a treat to see our beloved Medicine Seller perform his peculiar, otherworldly rituals. I like how we are able to recognize him, even though we know nothing of his past.Such a mysterious being.

Recommended for fans of the series and newcomers as well. Plus, there’s a sequel coming next year! Looking forward to it.
