Princess Mononoke

Princess Mononoke was on TV one night over spring break. I forget what channel, but my brother was watching it. I got to see a large part of it. Although the animation was very similar, the story and characters were amazingly different than those in Spirited Away. Before the movies, I had a distinct impression that anime it was all similar. These movies have changed my mind. I even found myself defending anime when my mother made steryotipical comments about bad animation and bad plots. I enjoyed Spirited Away more than Princess Mononoke, but now I am glad I have seen both.
