No, the manga of Mononoke typically comes first. The anime is often created based on the already existing manga storylines and characters. However, there might be rare exceptions where the anime is developed simultaneously or even before the manga, but that's not the case for Mononoke.
Definitely not. Princess Mononoke is a purely fictional tale. It takes us into a fantastical world crafted by the creators' imaginations, not based on real events or people.
The themes in Princess Mononoke fanfiction are diverse. The exploration of identity is one. For example, San's identity as a human raised by wolves is further examined. Environmental conservation is another big theme, with stories showing different ways to protect the forest. And there's the theme of cultural clash, as the movie has different cultures represented. Fanfictions may expand on how these cultures interact and influence each other, like the Iron Town and the forest - dwelling tribes.
Since I'm not sure of the exact 'Mononoke First Story', generally, a key element could be the Mononoke itself. It might be a unique and mysterious being with special abilities.
Well, without more context, it's difficult to give a detailed account of 'Mononoke First Story'. However, if we consider the general idea of Mononoke from Japanese culture, it might involve themes of mystery, the supernatural, and the interaction between humans and otherworldly entities. The 'first story' could potentially introduce the main Mononoke character, its origin, and how it came to be involved with the human world.
The elements of Mononoke ghost stories usually include mysterious settings, supernatural beings and thrilling plots. These elements combine to create a spooky and captivating experience.
One popular Princess Mononoke fanfiction is 'The Untold Tales of Ashitaka and San'. It delves deeper into their relationship after the events of the movie. Another one could be 'A Different Path for the Forest Spirit', which explores what might have happened if the Forest Spirit had made different choices. There's also 'San's New Adventures' that follows San as she encounters new challenges in protecting the forest.
I'm not sure which anime movie you're referring to. If you can provide more information such as the name of the movie, director, release date, etc., I will try my best to provide you with a more accurate answer.
As someone who loves reading novels, I can't directly check the current time or browse the web. However, based on my knowledge of online literature, I can tell you that Battle Through the Heavens was adapted from China into a manga and animation.
