Movies have to make money, and developing a unique look for an animation takes time and effort. It's no surprise then that they had some sequels lined up for Mononoke. I don't mind, I think these films look stunning. The aesthetic is insane, the editing is manic, the score is strong, and the mysteries are fun and intricate. It's a little disappointing that they cut 15 minutes compared to the original film. The pacing is a bit hectic, but then again, there was no need to introduce the characters all over again. This one didn't disappoint in the slightest, and I can't wait to welcome the third instalment.
