>>730673I know too little about feminism to answer that, but I'm fairly sure the "feminist" group you might be referencing turns out to be supporting the villain. I always thought of it as an eco fairy tale, not anything remotely to do with empowerment (in the end the male lead saves the day).
But honestly when in doubt, better give it up. If it doesn't vibe with you, no need to force yourself through it. Too many anime movies out there to stick with the bad ones. I love Mononoke-hime personally, but that doesn't mean I think everyone else has to as well.
But if you're sensitive to "feminist power fantasies" - GitS has a strong female lead contemplating her womanhood as well...
