Hayao Miyazaki is able to create a new and different world for us every time in the animation, this time he brings to the audience a world covered by forests. In this world, ancient animal gods guard the forest, but human beings continue to erode and destroy nature because of their own survival and desires. At the beginning of the animation, because of human greed, a monster that turned into a demon attacked the village where the protagonist was located, causing him to suffer the curse of the demon. The story starts here, when Princess Mononoke first appeared, I was struck by her unique temperament. The soundtrack of the animation is very grand and imposing. The reason why this animation is highly recommended to Wuxing is very simple, one is for the setting of the fascinating animal gods, especially the two-in-one of the fluorescent giant and the unicorn beast, and the other is for the protection of nature and the harmonious coexistence of nature promoted in the animation. Philosophy, the third reason is the cute and melancholy dryads, their head-turning movements and sounds are so kawaii. The female masters in the animation are very beautiful, and the wandering monks are not necessarily completely bad people. The biggest feature of Hayao Miyazaki's animation is that there are no complete villains, or there are very few villains in the complete sense, and often those villains also have a cute side. For example, wandering monk's funny burrowing his head while eating, and the high-heeled clogs he was wearing.
