Hi,
I'm totally agreed with you, Viktor.
AFAIK, Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa are the prime inspirational sources of my incoming HQ/HW campaign. With the Robert Holdstock 'Mythago' et 'Merlin Codex' book sequels. And, since the beginning, I've advised my players to see this japanim and to read these books.
