Original title: Mononoke-hime
A calm village residing in the mountains comes under attack from a demon-possessed boar one day. Ashitaka, a young man and prince of the tribe, engages the creature in an attempt to save his village. During the battle, the boar bites him on the arm,… leaving it blackened and cursed. Following his village's traditions, Ashitaka is exiled and becomes a wanderer, looking for a solution to the curse before it engulfs him. Iron Town is a fortress under the leadership of Lady Eboshi. Through the clearing of the surrounding forests, Iron Town produces large amounts of Ironsand, used for gunpowder and other machinery.
You should watch it for its world, its creatures and a huge conflict where you understand almost everyone's motives even if you can't agree with them.
It's a good fit if you're looking for epic fantasy, nature, action and characters without easy good guys and bad guys.
Unlike other ecological tales, it does not offer an easy side: the forest must be defended, but Lady Eboshi's city also protects and employs marginalized people.
