Recently watched it and I had no idea what was going on and thought it was extremely boring. Heres what I got out of it-
Humans from a city is doing their human stuff and destroying habitats. Some boar gets angry and attacks a nearby town. The main character manages to kill the boar, but gets his arm demonized. The town kicks the MC out. The MC goes to the city. Some girl raised by the wolves hate humans and attacks the city, with the purpose to kill the citys leader, but gets hurt. The MC carries the girl to the wolves.

A lot of boring shit happens where the MC learns more about the girl. Eventually, the city wants to kill this weird looking deer. They succeed and manage to cut its head off. The headless deer now becomes this 500ft tall gooey headless humanoid that literally shits black goo on everything everywhere it goes- this black goo kills everything it touches.

The MC and the girl brings the headless gooey humanoid its weird deer head back, and the deer goes away. The MC gets cured of all ailments too for some reason. Finally, the town is thankful to the MC and the girl, and promises to suppress the human instinct for expansion. The MC stays with the humans, the girl goes back with the wolves, instead of both of them staying together and fucking or something, because clearly they have feelings for each other.

What is the point of all this? What even was the deer thing?

You have to be a fantasy fiction fan to like this sorta stuff. It has lots of themes in the movie that most people can easily relate to such as humans are earth's virus against the environment, redemption and forgiveness, morality and spiritualism.

It looks very pretty.

And the English voice cast is good.
