Princess Mononoke

Princess Mononoke is a 1997 animation film by Studio Ghibli and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Out of all the Ghibli animated movies, this one (and Tales of Earthsea) is high fantasy of the same ilk as Conan the Barbarian and Game of Thrones.
The film begins with an attack on a village by Nago, a demon creature who infects the arm of Ashitaka, a warrior prince. To save his life and his people, he must travel to find the source of Nago's destrcutive powers. He journeys on his red elk, and finds the Iron Town ruled by the much loved Lady Eboshi, although she's very keen to destroy all of the forest gods. The sudden and angry appearance of a mysterious wolf girl called San takes Ashitaka further and deeper into the heart of the forest. San is very wild and also part of a pack of wolves headed by its matriarch Moro.
The film has a lot of action scenes, some gruesome moments and plenty of magic.
Most cutest part: The Kodama forest spirits.
I rate this is a 9/10

Blood Moon night


Last night was a Super Blood Wolf Moon and I often get erratic patterns during this phase. Sometimes I'm tired, othertimes I'm active. The full moon keeps me restless and that one big bad moon last night is the final of the Super Blood Moons we'll experience for a while.
Super blood wolf moon time is about eating and staying warm and dry and eating, drinking, sleeping, eating, work/studying/tasks/chores and eating. Yesterday we had a simple meal because I was tired and eager to rest. The day before that was a superblood again and I cooked a rare burger steak.
Top tips for lycanthropes during a full moon is to drink plenty of water, avoid caffeine and alcohol, eat lightly, sleep. The moon's influencing powers can effect people and make them unstable, aggressive, hyperactive and upset. It can also cause insomnia. Just as you would cope with a vibrant hot sun, take precautions against the moon also.

Fire and Ice


This 1983 animation film called Fire and Ice is a fantasy directed by Ralph Bakshi, and collaborated with the artist Frank Frazetta. For its time, the animation looks pretty advanced and this is thanks to the rotoscoping style of technique. The world itself is at war between ice and fire. Ice is ruled by evil sorcerer Nekron, and his mother, the Queen Juilana who want to cover everything in Winter. The majority of humans are forced to live south of the icy glaciers, where it's ruled by the benign King Jarol of the Fire Keep. Jarol's daughter Teegra is kidnapped by monstrous soldiers of Nekron and Juliana, where she is taken far into the swamps. She escapes, and encounters a man named Larn, who came from a village that was destroyed by Nekron. Then there is the appearance of Darkwolf, a mysterious warrior who looks like a barbarian Batman.
I rate this a 7/10 as it's just entertaining stuff.
Comment: Semi naked in the icy cold and not getting hypothermia! Wow.
