Do you prefer spirits of the woods or spirits of the river? Hey, isn't that the flying dog from Neverending Story?!?

i didnt like princess mononoke too much.

Spirited away is a way better story.

Strictly between these two films, I would choose Spirited Away, based on its plots and ability to compare it to films that people who don't watch anime. For example, when I speak to people who aren't familiar with anime or those who think that its simply cartoons with over-exaggerated body parts, its easier to describe a film like Spirited Away and compare it to Alice in Wonderland, which a person has most likely heard of. While that's a very simple explanation, it is an easy way to make a point to someone unfamiliar with the genre. As far as the story and plot are concerned, Spirited Away is just one of those films that I can watch at the drop of a hat. Its something that I'm always in the mood for, whereas with Princess Mononoke I need to kind of be in the mood to watch that.

Mononoke for me, I just liked it better...

Mononoke was the 1st Miyazaki movie I ever saw (on the big screen even), and I like it a bit more than Sprirted Away. I like the story and setting more that SA.

I have since seen just about everthing from Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli and have to say thet Nausicaa is my favorite. Can't wait for the end of August to own a legit copy of it.
