OH MY GOSH, WTF DID I JUST WATCH. This movie was absolutely incredible. I'm totally speechless right now. I didn't think Anime-type movies could be so good. I now see why Miyazaki is said to be one of the greatest filmmakers ever. I've seen 2 of his films now and am starting to think that he's an absolute genius. No longer will I hesitate to watch one of his movies.

This is the first anime that I have ever seen. Let me tell you, it was a down right amazing experience. This is a journey I will never forget!
The visuals, music, and characters were all outstanding. I especially loved all of these characters; they were so well thought out. It's obvious that Miyazaki cared immensely about everything in this beautiful film.
The imagination that was contained in this movie was something truly special.

A marvel of originality, a standard of cinematic vision & a stunning work of art, Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away presents the master storyteller revelling at the prime of his filmmaking career by blending together all the ingredients of his previous works into one mystically magical adventure that'll have its viewers intrigued, transfixed & transported to a whole new different world from start to finish.
Spirited Away is a coming-of-age drama, adventure, comedy, romance & fantasy, all merged into one, and concerns Chihiro; a 10-year old girl who, while moving to a new neighbourhood with her parents, gets stuck in the world of gods, witches & monsters. After her parents are turned into pigs by the witch Yubaba, Chihiro takes up a job at the…

Anime films are NOT my forte! But I have noticed a significant amount of overwhelmingly positive reviews for Studio Ghibli films! So YES my curiosity was piqued!
So when Viktor Prentovski recommended the film I decided to take the plunge sooner than later so here we are!
Finally a animated film for kids that respects children by raising the bar instead of underestimating kids and dumbing it down and is a joy for adults to watch instead of being something we must endure!
Well crafted and uniquely original!

It's incredible to me that after just a couple years of becoming more acquainted with the genre of anime, I still find myself fascinated the most with Spirited Away, arguably one of the greatest examples of Hayao Miyazaki's creative ingenuity. Its fantastical world, fraught with danger and intrigue for our young heroine Chihiro, is never short of extraordinary characters, always managing to outdo the last mystical creature we are shown with another more deviously bizarre creation.
Chihiro is by far the best developed character in any given Miyazaki work. Her personal journey from her terrifying beginning to her daunting finale can be felt in its progress each step of the way, with the story's own memorable hallmarks making clear their…

All this about spirits and monsters, nature and otherworldly places, myths and legends and curses and spells, and beautiful drawings brought to life to the tune of some iconic music, is all extremely my shit.
The best cloud is the big fat round one floating just above the water as Chihiro climbs up the ladder.
To my brother: this deserves nothing less than 4 stars.

What To Watch Challenge 2018
CW 19 - A film with music from Joe Hisaishi #WTWChallengeCW19
-----------------------------------------------
Ich habe am vergangenen Freitag den Film in den Blu-Ray-Player gelegt - so weit so gut. Dann habe ich die erste halbe Stunde gesehen, bin MÖGLICHERWEISE ein bisschen eingeschlafen, hab später nochmal 15 Minuten mitbekommen und dann irgendwann vor dem Menüscreen wieder aufgewacht.
Ich markiere den Film mal als "gesehen", habe aber fest vor, diese Reise nochmal anzutreten! Versprochen! -

Spirited Away is beautiful to look at and quite possibly the greatest coming of age animated film ever. There is so much going on that I wanted to watch it again as soon as it ended.

This was one of the first Studio Ghibli films I’ve seen and it’s just one of those movies that never gets old. It’s one of those movies you wanna show your kids when you get older. It’s so beautiful from the animation style to the vibrant coloring and soundtrack the movie is gorgeous. I even cried the first time i saw it. Hayao Miyazaki just knows how to pull at your heartstrings.

So my friend and I went to see Spirited Away, in the Japanese dubbed version. I saw this movie a long time ago from my cousins and I didn't know quite how to make of it. Now that I'm older and my love of anime is growing stronger, it was interesting to come back to this movie, especially hearing it in its original language. So what did I think of it now? Even after sixteen years of its original release, it still holds up today and it really captured my imagination.
Basically the story goes of a young girl moving to a new home but her parents are transformed into pigs while she remains trapped in the spirit world. She… -
