Studio Ghibli is overrated and the animes mostly suck. Let's take Mononoke hime, the only one of their "masterpieces" I could watch until the end.

Guy gets curse/virus-thing, eats him alive
searches redemption
goes out
meets villagers

and now the part starts where Miyazaki just was too high to deliver something useful

Villagers shoot giant animals because animals attack village for absolutely no reason
Giant animals have Mowgli-Girl with them
Guy falls in love with Mowgli-girl
Monkeys go haywire
rattlehead ghosts rattle
some stoned-looking forest god walks around
gets shot
guy and Mowgli-Girl save him

The end

Now what does that anime tell us? "Hey, I'm too bloody stoned not to be overrated" or "Men should not mess with mother nature"? Maybe "nature gives us weed, we like to smoke weed, so don't destroy the weed"?

Sorry, if that sounded a bit rude, but I am not too fond of the common "masterpieces of anime".
