Chibi-Trunks Posted January 8, 2002 Posted January 8, 2002 I've seen the movie, but I missed the first like 20 mins, and I still can't figure out why it is called princess mononoke. Any insight would be helpful, thanks :devil: *edit* sorry, I thought I was in the anime general forum
Syk3 Posted January 8, 2002 Posted January 8, 2002 Yes, i hav a mod who will move it for u... The first 20 mins.? Hmm, well, this demon comes who is this deformed pig. He has all these tentecles on him. He is a demon who was possesed somehow. The main character comes in and tries to stop it before it gets to his village. He uses his arrows which hav barely any affect. He rides up on his horse and tries to stop it. Some of the tenticlas touch his arm. The pig slows down, and falls after something happens (don't remember what). He goes to this old lady who is, lik, a fortune teller. His tribe is very obsessed with fate. She tells him that the rocks say that he must go find out how the pig was possessed and c if he can relieve himself of his burn which he got from the pig. This burn will eventually cover his body, making him just lik the pig. It will kill him. He cuts off the top of his hair and leaves, the old lady says that he shall nevr come back. That he is dead to them now. He goes off and we c some people going up a hill carrying stuff. Wolves attack them but they shoot them off. In the wolf tribe who also tries to destroy the travelers is a human. She thinks she is a wolf. Her name: Princess Mononoke. Hope this helps.
Guest Jabroni3:16 Posted January 10, 2002 Posted January 10, 2002 It's called Princess Mononoke because of that chick, who's all Wolf-like. The Boar was turned into a Demon because of and Iron ball that was lodged into it by a gun that was fired at Iron Town. I have the DVD it's an awesome Anime, must've watched it five times since i got it, Two times before.
supervegeta Posted January 10, 2002 Posted January 10, 2002 this is a great anime and you should definitely watch it again. i always want to cry at the end of the movie. i haven't had the chance yet to watch it in *** subbed though; but i do think it is one of the best dubbs i have ever seen (heard). good luck
amiboshi Posted January 11, 2002 Posted January 11, 2002 I've kinda often wondered why they name it after San, too. On the back of the box (or the front...) it talks about the fate of the world or something being in the hands of only one warrior (then the title comes) Princess Mononoke. Um, who are they talking about? Because I seem to remember Ashitaka being the hero-warrior, not San quite as much.
supervegeta Posted January 11, 2002 Posted January 11, 2002 i think it's kind of like the zelda games where they name it after the woman. that's my theory at least
Chibi-Trunks Posted January 11, 2002 Author Posted January 11, 2002 Thanks for the help, didn't know San was Princess Mononoke. and Amiboshi, is that you ssjL?
Adam Posted January 11, 2002 Posted January 11, 2002 I honestly didn't think it was that great a movie:). -Adam

[/B][/QUOTE] Lol. Weird. I never knew anyone remembered me as ssjL. :laugh: I liked the Princess Mononoke movie a lot. It was really good. They dubbed it good, too. Later.....Batmasta! I didn't know that was you! Hiiiii!

I think that Princess Mononoke was "ok" but the only part i found good was when they shot him through his stomach but he kept walking. Besides that...yea...
Cibo Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 I actully thought it was pretty cool. Not the BEST anime movie I've seen, but good nevertheless.

Dragonfire1477 Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Every time I tun on the TV, its almost over. So I've seen the ending three times :p. I thought it was good, but in my town they said the DVD wasn't out yet. Weird people. For those of you who are Jade Cacoon on PSX, Princess Mononoke has the same artist. If anything, the drawings were entertaining.
Nataniamon Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 I loved Princess Mononoke. i loke anime movies. they seen more interesting than that of the us's. i wish i could see it again.
Sephiroth Posted January 21, 2002 Posted January 21, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Adam [/i] [B]I honestly didn't think it was that great a movie:). -Adam [/B][/QUOTE] true, the movie was way overrated, but that seems to happen with a lot of anime....
Nataniamon Posted January 21, 2002 Posted January 21, 2002 a lot are over rated. i wish i could see most og the ones ive missed in the us.
Cibo Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 Well I think another reason why it was so overrated is because it was a U.S. "anime" also.
amiboshi Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Cibo [/i] [B]Well I think another reason why it was so overrated is because it was a U.S. "anime" also. [/B][/QUOTE] What do you mean saying "'anime'" Why is it in quotes? It was really made in japan first. It's not like it's fake or anything......
Cibo Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 As far as I knew, it was made in America first...I could be wrong.
amiboshi Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Cibo [/i] [B]As far as I knew, it was made in America first...I could be wrong. [/B][/QUOTE] No way! It's a Miyazaki film. They dubbed it. It was called Mononoke Hime. On their site they talk about dubbing it, and changing it from japanese. It's a real anime.
vash Posted January 31, 2002 Posted January 31, 2002 princess mononoke is the highest grossibg anime movie of all time. saw it in the guinness book of world records.
