This week we talk about the world famous feature length anime: Princess Mononoke. This is one of the landmark films in cinema history. Never before or since has such an ambitious undertaking happened in the world of animation.

During editing, there was around thirty five minutes cut. There was just so much to discuss! Sadly, today we'll keep it at one hour.
