This animated movie reminds me of Princess Mononoke, because it has a similar setting,that is man vs nature. But it also offers a greater insight into modern day society as the protagonist himself is from the present and it shows the mistakes made in the past. What I really like is that at the beginning we really perceive the "Oni" as evil although they are not. Throughout the movie itself there is a lot of criticism, not just of mankind in general,but of the greedy nobles and even priests,which is very realistic and, for me, intriguing. But somehow i feel disappointed with the ending, iexpected more, for example, for the things to change after Gen'un's defeat.Still,pretty impressive.
