Mind-boggling animation that is half horror, half adorable Nana-esque protagonists in which the girls are in love with each other but don’t admit it. Insanely intense visuals - check this out if you’re looking for vibrant colors !
I watched it when I was 14 and it was the coolest thing ever to me. Its about two young women who have the same name. One is in a punk band and wears a lot of Vivienne westwood, the other is naive and girly. they are best friends and also definitely in love with each other but men and life and stuff get in the way. this and Paradise Kiss are made by the same people and it was a revelation to find that Anime could be girly and cool and not just for teenage boys or kids which is what I had assumed as a teenage girl.
Mononoke (2007) is my favourite anime of all time, and this movie is a 15th anniversary project that is the first in a trilogy (next one will be released this year I believe). If you enjoy the movie, I highly recommend going back to watch the original series! Or watch the series first, it's separated into mini-arcs so it's basically like 5 movies.
’Mononoke’ is a show that has nothing to do with Hayao Miyazaki ‘Mononoke’ is a show that has, without hyperbole, the most beautiful art style I’ve ever seen ‘Mononoke’ is a show about a medicine seller whose goal is to slay mononoke with a sword that can only be used once he discovers the shape, truth, and reasoning of the mononoke. ‘Mononoke’ is a samurai detective psychological horror high art vignette mystery ghost story show where the first episode is set in the Edo period, and the last 3 are set 300 years later.
