Princess Mononoke Script
In ancient times, the land
lay covered in forests,
where, from ages long past,
dwelt the spirits of the gods.
Back then, man and beast
lived in harmony,
but as time went by, most
of the great forests were destroyed.

by gigantic beasts...
who owed their allegiance
to the Great Forest Spirit,
for those were the days
of gods and demons.
