Princess Mononoke (1997) with the Suuuper Anime Podcast

This week Jon is joined by Ed and Solo of the Suuuper Anime podcast as they break down the studio ghibli classic.

Hayao Miyazaki's environmental masterpiece likes to say its set in the Muromachi Period (1336-1573 CE), however, it contains culture and elements of the Japanese past going back to the Neolithic era. Join the breakdown as Jon delves into Japanese religion, the environmental destruction of medieval japan, and the history of the various minorities of the Japanese archipelago that Miyazaki portrays in the movie.

(Please note Jon makes a small mistake during the recording (⌣́_⌣̀), the location where kami are worshipped is called a shrine, and temples in a Japanese context refer exclusively to Buddhist places of worship.)
