October 29, 2018 @ 9:02 am
The title is misleading seeing as you’re including folklore alongside mythology… I would personally give each their own list, as there are differences between the two.
October 29, 2018 @ 9:03 am
Nice List!

Japanese mythology movies
October 29, 2018 @ 9:27 am
Watchmojo… watchmojo. Do you know how many years I’ve been searching for Magic Boy "Shonen Sarutobi Sasuke"…. I watched it once on Sci-Fi when I was 5, I am now 28. All I could remember was a boy who gets trained by an old master on a mountain to seek revenge and save his mother or sister from some bandits. I thought I dreamed the film up, that it wasn’t real and there it was in Honourable mentions. Thank you

October 29, 2018 @ 9:38 am
Spirited Away is atleast mentioned
this is a good list
October 29, 2018 @ 9:40 am
i liked this top 10
October 29, 2018 @ 9:42 am
I SAW PRINCESS MONONOKE AND CLICKED
October 29, 2018 @ 9:42 am
No Pom Poko? It’s Ghibli, but not actually directed by MIyazaki, so it was valid.
October 29, 2018 @ 9:43 am
I like "Princess Mononoke", especially for being the one non-preachy, non-over-simplistic eco-parable out there (James Cameron could learn a lot from it…). The only thing I don’t really like in it that everyone else seems to is the "titular" character. I don’t think Miyazaki really intended San to be all that "admirable" of a character, but just to put a human face on the spirits. She’s as prejudiced and hate-filled as the rest of them.
October 29, 2018 @ 9:44 am
No.8 was NSFW…
October 29, 2018 @ 9:44 am
