Which Supernatural Character Are You?

\o/ HELL YEAH.

So I think I'm gonna write one of my final papers on kabuki and noh influences in anime, specifically using either Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away as a case study. I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this, of course, and I'll be going looking for other analyses along those lines -- but in the meantime, while I binge on anime on a gorgeous summer day research, anyone of the scholarly anime fans on my f-list have any resources I should look at?

No, it's definitely the anime form I'm interested in, as one of Japan's largest, most popular cultural works. I suppose I could go watch, say, Utena or Inu-Yasha or another series, but I think a contained example like a film will be easier to deal with -- and I'm pretty sure I can already see the ties to classical Japan and Japanese mythology in Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke.
