i have to say that, even 15 years since the first time i saw this film, it is still a wondrous world Hayao Miyazaki has constructed. at no point in time do you find yourself questioning that there is an elf-looking deer god who dictates life and death within a great forest full of giant boars and treeghosts.
the art is amazing; but that is to be expected with a Miyazaki film. i was struck by the gore within the film; it is still a "WTF moment" to see characters get their heads and arms cut off in a single blow.
this film is a classic; you should watch even if you're not into animated films. it is more than an animated film.
