It's one of the best movies that I've ever seen (if not the best).

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 1999)

When I first saw this movie, I was stunned by the beauty and depth of the animation and storyline. Which really says something because during the movie, my eyes were frantically darting between the video screen and the printed translation in my hands... my Japanese is not quite up to standard yet. Still, I was amazed by what I saw/heard/read. The story kept me spellbound.
I was first introduced to Hayao Miyazaki's works through the early english version of "Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa" or "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", a truly remarkable movie in it's own right. I've seen and bought as many his movies as I have been able to. And, in my humble opinion, Mononoke Hime is the best of them all.
I'm looking forward to the English release.
