I actually find the first urban legend strangely comforting, especially if a child is near death and gets to be with these creatures. Death is very depressing no doubt, but if I was near death and I saw these creatures that decided they would want to be seen by me, I would find it strange but very lovely. I would rather be transported to an after life by a Catbus or flown up to the heavens by Totoro using an umbrella to fly up.
Every time I hear this theory it really pisses me off. I honestly think if Miyazaki meant the movie to be one big allegory about death he'd make it clearer than that. His movies may be frustratingly vague sometimes, but he's NEVER vague on whether his characters are in a tragedy or not.
@@edgarallanpoestheblackcat6613 We know for sure it's not true. They officially addressed it. Saying they would deny it even if true is just mental gymnastics.
also i noticed in the movie when tsasuki went to search for mei she met a weird man who was digging a hole in a farm and she asked him if he saw her sister ,and in the real story the kidnapper killed the younger sis and buried her in a farm.... this is very weird and scary
No, the month of May is just 5 Tsuki (5月) in Japanese, and Mei (メイ) is a really common given name, there's no connection to the Sayama incident, it's mental gymnastics

Thank you. I never heard the urban legends. I am glad you told what Miyazaki has said. Now I can watch again.

Strongly agree, it's a "back to nature" film, shoehorning in these urban legends is mental gymnastics
Well, even if it was true , the animators would say it isn't... So that it wouldn't be spoilt for children ...
So we’ll never know for sure whether it is true or not

There is no connection to the Sayama incident, no
Satsuki & Mei means "may".
The month when sayama incident was happened

Even if that wasn't true, that was still a fun theory.
Yeah, true, having fun with it is totally valid, so long as people realize it's just a fan thing and not a real or intentional thing
Idk if this is true or not but it sounds very fitting.
I wouldn’t doubt it being a hoax. There’s just too much evidence pointing the theory being true if you ask me
There's zero evidence pointing to it being true, it's all grasping at straws with each easily being explained away
I despise robo voices.
It wonder what the truth is.
The truth is it's a "back to nature" film, simple as
That urban legend is hella disturbing, thank god it isnt real.

I hope it's true
