people try too hard to understand spirited away when they watch it. you nailed it when you said 'it feels like you were just dropped into this world' everything you need to know is there, you dont NEED to know every single rule behind every single creature and magic thing you see. that's why watching this movie as a kid (i used to watch it almost every day) was so magical. you felt like chihiro just confused in this world and you could only wonder about everything the movie didnt tell you.
Exactly! And, as a Kid, you just vibe with it, you don't question why everything is so wierd or what is the lore behind it. To enjoy this movie you just have to see it like a kid would, just letting yourself be transported to this world and don't try so hard to understand everything
At least some of the spirits are classic Yokai, like the hopping heads, and the rest definitely have that aesthetic. You'll also notice that Yubaba plays at being a noblewoman but slips into being a monstrous oni when she loses her temper. As for the giant baby, Yubaba's smothering means that he can't grow up - he just keeps getting bigger. Dragons are river spirits, and very powerful. What I love about this movie is that it's such a classic example of fairy tale logic. She's kind and tries her best, and others help her in turn, but she doesn't take more than she needs.
Lots pf people believe that The Faceless is the spirit of greed, that's why he was consuming all the frogmen as they were greedy for gold, but Sen didn't want anything from him, and that's what made him interested in her
actually i think Faceless is simply a lonely blank spirit that get change depend on his surrounding which is why he is Faceless, he himself does not have an identity so he could only take it from thing around him if he is around greed he will grow greedy but once he get out of the place he become normal again
I personally think it's related to greed but he isn't a greed spirit himself. He's corrupted by the bath house and the greed of the people in it. And he's very lonely, so he gives people things so they'll like him, but Sen doesn't need gifts to be kind and so he's confused.
If ya’ll haven’t seen Porco Rosso or Castle In The Sky yet, they’re amazing, i’d love to see a reaction to those at some point! Princess Mononoke is equally amazing, i think you’d love that too
The vibes throughout this whole movie were ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE! The animation and backdrops were gorgeous. Although we don’t fully understand Studio Ghibli movies on first watch we still enjoyed it! The world of Spirited away was VERY immersive and we never knew what was gonna happen next. We are glad Haku and Chihiro’s parents survived!
Spirt away it's pretty common folklore in Japan. People disappear forever or showed out after years it's not unique to the anime. So if you are not familiar you might feel the lore is trippy. People believe they mistakenly got into spirit world.
it won't be so convoluted if you r familiar with with fairy lore and some japanese folklore... there r bits of similarities - it's like passing through the veil of reality into another land... other details, like the round ball the old rich river guardian gave to her for ridding the pollution within him is basically a herbal medicine ball, stuff like those are cultural references and like the purging of a curse after chihiro stepped on the slug... for movies like this, it's more important to go on the journey than to seek to comprehend each and every frame - u just need to watch and feel and leave your reasoning behind - much like when you step into a fairy or spiritual world...
y'all should definitely check out mononoke :) personally it's my favorite and I feel like the main message is a little more straightforward but it's still full of symbolism and it's just overall a piece of art (like most ghibli movies tbh)
5:48 "She's going to get separated from them at one point." Well, you're not wrong. 30:27 She's flying back to her home at the end of the -workday- worknight, then coming back to her office before the bathhouse opens. 38:43 Yeah, apparently it's some type of traditional Asian medicine that a Japanese person would recognize, but us westerners wouldn't.
I think You don't have to understand everything. That's something important to get in mind when you dive into Miyazaki's movies. I liked this movie as a Kid cause i didn't asked so much, i didn't saw the wierdness as something to understand, you just have yo assume it's wierd and not everything ks explained and you will enjoy it more. Also, this movie is one that you have to watch many times to get all the detalis. I have seen it many times and still get different things every time
I agree with most everyone that Princess Mononoke is a must watch, but if you looking for an easy to understand Ghibli film which still pack's a punch check out Kiki's Delivery Service.
I think a huge reason why I wasn't scared or had trauma watching this movie as a kid was because of Haku, they say it's impossible for a kid to have romantic feelings for those around the kid's age, but much like Chihiro, I was for sure in love with Haku near the end of the movie. And it gave me a point to focus on to not think of the scary parts plus the fact that I was reading a novel filled with all sorts of supernatural beings at the time I watched this movie with my classmates. And it was really interesting how after we watched the movie, all the girls loved Haku, he was the ultimate childhood crush that I shared with everyone around my age.
The movie of the walking castle is easy to understand, the spell that the young girl had was a mirror of her soul, she looked old because she felt old, and it was the friendship with the sorcerer and not his magic that returned her youth.
so I'm writing this 7 minutes in to your video but you guys are the first people who've noticed that Chihiro's parents are ignoring her. like when they cross the stream, the dad offers the mom a hand because of all the rocks making it difficult to walk and nether of them think "hey, our daughter might slip and hit here head" they don't offer to hold her hand when going through the creepy tunnel, the mom just ignores her as Chihiro clings on to her. there are some theories and conspiracy about why their like this but like I said you guys are the first people I've seen reacting to this movie that takes notice
Now that you've asked what exactly is the plot and what do fans like about it, I also don't know what it is LOL! But I really love this movie and how watching it made me feel Chihiro's trauma. I felt like crying when she was stuck there as if it was me who's in her shoes. Yes! It is definitely Creepily or weirdly heartwarming, the imagery and the emotions (or should I say trauma 🤣) got stuck on me whenever this movie is mentioned, there's really no explaining why.
So I got glasses a day ago and I watched howl’s moving castle and spirited away for like the fifth time AND OMG. THE DETAILS ARE SO COOL😭 my blurry vision made it smoothed out and I didn’t see how detailed it was😢
Why didn't Kamjī keep Haku still when he was struggling; thrashing about, and hitting drawers with his tail? Kamajī was just standing there and watching. Because Chihiro was only keeping Haku's jaws shut, he was free to thrash about with the rest of his body and make a mess. If only there were more people in the boiler room besides Chihiro; Haku, and Kamajī. They could've kept Haku still
A real anime fan not speak too much when they watch anime Because they respect the beautiful background and the voice of the the actor soundtrack and music . 😞

That’s it.
I watched this as a kid and instead of getting traumatized I fell in love. Now I'm an animator thanks to this movie.

Lin is actually a fox spirit
most human like character are animal spirit that could take on humanoid form
Aww that's soo cool! We had no idea. After watching the movie she is Definity one of our fav characters!
Lots pf people believe that The Faceless is the spirit of greed, that's why he was consuming all the frogmen as they were greedy for gold, but Sen didn't want anything from him, and that's what made him interested in her
Yesh u could see in the scene where he is super fat that he almlst chokes her while reaching gomd to her if she would’ve taken it he would ate her
actually i think Faceless is simply a lonely blank spirit
that get change depend on his surrounding which is why he is Faceless, he himself does not have an identity so he could only take it from thing around him
if he is around greed he will grow greedy but once he get out of the place he become normal again

@Averi Brown I think they meant Haku (alone) AND Chihiro's parents , not the parents of both of them

You definitely need to watch Princess Mononoke. It’s my all time favorite Ghibli movie and one of my favorite films of all time in general.
10000% you need to react to Princess Mononoke. It’s older than this and my favorite Ghibli/Miyazaki film! It’s just beautiful all around.
千と千尋の神隠し！！大好きなジブリ。見てくれてありがとう！

Fun fact: In the English dub Chihiro is voiced by the same girl who voiced lilo in Lilo and stitch
The spider's not gonna come after you. I just pointed at a spider by my trash can and it hid from me.
I agree with most everyone that Princess Mononoke is a must watch, but if you looking for an easy to understand Ghibli film which still pack's a punch check out Kiki's Delivery Service.

You should react to Satoshi Kon movies!... specially Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress and Paprika!!
The movie of the walking castle is easy to understand, the spell that the young girl had was a mirror of her soul, she looked old because she felt old, and it was the friendship with the sorcerer and not his magic that returned her youth.
これは最高ですし、好きですし、千と千尋の神隠しのキャラクターも最高ですし、好きですし、ハクも好きですし、最高ですし、カッコいいですし、竜の特徴が顔が犬で胴体が蛇で前足と後ろ足が鳥なのが最高ですし、好きです。
Nice reaction if you had another sibling she should wear yellow hair then it would look like a traffic light 🚦😂
Nausicaa and the Castle in the Sky are recommended for Ghibli animation. Please try it
I recommend Nausicca the valley of the wind and Princess Mononoke
Both excellent choices. And of course Kiki's Delivery Service is just the sweetest.
@@ianburns1167 yup.
so I'm writing this 7 minutes in to your video but you guys are the first people who've noticed that Chihiro's parents are ignoring her. like when they cross the stream, the dad offers the mom a hand because of all the rocks making it difficult to walk and nether of them think "hey, our daughter might slip and hit here head" they don't offer to hold her hand when going through the creepy tunnel, the mom just ignores her as Chihiro clings on to her. there are some theories and conspiracy about why their like this but like I said you guys are the first people I've seen reacting to this movie that takes notice
Hey, u should react Paprika or Perfect blue they are two of the most interesting and mind vending anime movies ever.
Movies like this and Howl's moving castle follow fairy tales' logic.
No shizznit, Sherlock. 😂
英語で吹き替えされてる物はハクの本名が小白川(Kohaku River)になってしまっているけど、小白川(Kohaku River)は通り名で川の神様(水龍)としての本名は饒速水小白主(Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi)なんですよね。そこを省かれてしまっているのが残念でした。英語字幕ではちゃんと訳されてて良かったです😊
