Spirited Away
Spoilers Ahead!
Today, I'll be talking about an anime that has a child protagonist. Today's anime is Spirited Away; it's quite famous as the director and writer is Hayao Miyazaki. Studio Ghibli has an amazing collection of movies, and Spirited Away is one of them. There is more I appreciate; it's never enough because their work is just amazing. I have not completed watching all the movies of Studio Ghibli, but I'm planning to watch every one of them gradually.
So, I was attracted to watch this anime movie because it has a unique storyline, how a young girl withstands for herself and begins her journey in a secret spirit world. I was curious about how she would survive this at such a young age; I got very excited to know the whole story. Then I thought I should just try it now. Here I am reviewing this movie for you.
The story begins with the adventure of a 10-year-old girl named Chihiro. One day, she was with her parents and they were heading to their new home in the suburbs when they lost track. After a while, they reached an abandoned resort town. There was no one there, but there were some stores with delicious food. After entering the hillside tunnel, Chihiro realizes that she has discovered a secret world. But she lost track of her parents, and when she found them, they were in a mysterious transformation. Chihiro then had to fend for herself as she encountered many mysterious spirits, various creatures, and a witch who did not want Chihiro to return to her human world and tried to prevent her from escaping. Everything Chihiro was doing was for her parents; she wanted them to return to their human form so that they could return to their human world. But things were not easy for her.
However, a boy named Haku helped Chihiro on her journey. The bond between Haku and Chihiro is very mesmerizing. Chihiro also helps Haku in return, and their friendship grows gradually in the movie. The best part is when these two are in one frame.
I do not wish to romanticize, as Chihiro is very young, but I want her to date Haku when she grows up, as he is truly a green flag from the beginning. Also, I can't help my mind, as I always look for romance in every story. So don't mind me!
I don't want to spoil any more of their story, so I'll leave the rest for you to watch, as there are many things in the movie, and you will enjoy it for sure. Also, it's not an action genre, but it's still much better than those action genre anime movies. The storyline is enough to grab your attention. If I talk about the animations, then I would say it's the cherry on top! The storyline did not make me think about the animations because everything was so perfect and blended together very well. I like the art style of Ghibli, as it's always been a signature style. I can watch this anime movie multiple times, as I loved it very much. My rating for this anime movie would be 10 out of 10, as I can't rate any of the Ghibli movies lowly; they are 100% recommended as every age group of people can watch this movie.
Let me know in the comment section if you have watched this anime movie or not. If you did then how much would you rate it?
Thanks for reading 🌷
take love ❤️
