Guest Imsirion Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 I've heard from many places on the net that its real good, but could someone tell me what its about? No spoilers please. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted September 28, 2002 Author Share Posted September 28, 2002 kay, here we go.. please, this will probably sound stupid, but it's really genius.. Chihori is a girl moving to a neew place.. On their way to their house, she and her parents stop to look at an abandoned theme park. t hey find some food, and they start chowing down, but chihori is afraid to... oops, i gotta go... well, here's the rest crammed into one sentence: her parents turn into pigs so she has to work at a bathhouse for gods under the strict rue of an evil witch, and blah blah blah... someone else will give you a better summary..

Guest animetric Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Summary: Chihiro is a 10-year old girl who's supposed to move to a new house with her mom and dad. Chihiro's dad makes a wrong turn somewhere and the three find themselves in front of a mysterious tunnel with a stone statue blocking their path. Chihiro and her folks walk through the tunnel and find themselves in a quaint little town surrounded by lush greenery. Chihiro's parents spot a fully stocked food stall and promptly start eating, but Chihiro decides to go off and wander around town. Upon Chihiro's return, she is horrified to see that her parents have turned into pigs... and she has no idea how to turn them back into humans again. To top it off, Chihiro is stuck in a place where human beings aren't supposed to go to... with only an enigmatic boy named Haku as her guide. The above summary was taken from the Spirited Away review I uploaded recently. If anyone's interested it's at [url]http://www.animetric.com/qrs2/spirited.html[/url] I saw the import DVD version. :freak: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted September 29, 2002 Author Share Posted September 29, 2002 ill finsih a bit better... i had to run before... ah yes, so she comes back to find her parents as pigs, so she runs off, and is found by the boy, haku. halu tells her that if she can cross the bridge to the bathhouse without taking a breath, she won't be seen, but right before she finishes the bridge, she takes a breath. she is seen, so haku helps hide her and tells her she HAS to get a job or else she'll be turned into an animal. she goes to see this dude with a lot of arms who tells her to see yu baba about the job. yu baba is very reluctant but in the end lets chiori work for her... she makes chihori change her name to sen, and that's how yu baba controls you, by taking your name. haku tells sen to remember her real name no matter what. so chihori gets a job at the bath house. her first job is to clean this big tub, but then a big, muddy, disgusting customer, whom everyone thinks is a stink spirit, needs a bath, and chihori needs these bath tabs to get water. a mystrious black thiung with a mask gives her a bunch of them, and she starts to attepmpt to clean ithe big disgusting blob. in the end, it turns out that it wasn't a stink spirit, but it was some sort of river spirit. the river spirit gives sen a little black fuzz. next, there's some bits when sen sees her pig-parents, then she finds out haku can turn into a dragon. then the mysterious thing that gave her bath tabs turns out to be very, er generous with gold, and ebveryone is giving him food while yubaba is out. eventually t becomes huge, but the only thing it REALLY wants is to see sen. there's more, but im not telling cause you all have to see it. SUPPORT IT HERE IN AMERICA!!!! DONT BUY TOO MANY BOOTLEGS!!!! WE NEED TO SUPPORT MIYAZAKI HERE!!! or wherever you are if your not in the US.

Queen Asuka Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]I heard that it was a big hit from my English teacher, if you can believe that. Her son who is a college student is big into anime and recommended it. If I see that it's released in theatres here, I'll definately have to go and see it.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccer 4 Life Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 :mrt: I saw this movie like a month ago, and I can certainely give it two thumbs up, considering it's produced by the one and only Hayao Miyazaki... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PizzaGuy Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 [B][SIZE=1]This is a great movie! I just got back from the theatre. What did you think the funniest part was? I liked when that little dirt worker droped his rock, and Chihiru helped him. Then all of the little creatures dropped their rocks on themselves too! ;) -Dan [/SIZE][/B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted October 12, 2002 Author Share Posted October 12, 2002 that was funny. i dunno what the funniest part was. i guess anything with the big baby.mini-mouse-ish thingy was cool. yubaba's sister is so cool. wouldn't you love to have her as a grandmother?

Vampire Hunter D Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 I just saw saw the new anime, Spirited Away, from the creator or Princess Mononoke and (maybe) more. It was awesome.:eek: It's about a young girl who accidentally stumbles into the spirit world. I think it was very loosely based on Alice in Wonderland, but most parts of it were completely origional. It had some action, but was mostly about developing the story. It has some quite frightening scenes, but those just added to it. A few parts were pretty boring:sleep: , and the ending wasn't very good:( , but I still suggest everyone who reads this to check it out. If you only like action anime's, this may not be the movie for you, but if you have an open mind, this very well may be in you're top three favorites. (it's in mine) I was wondering what some other people thought of the movie, so if you've seen it, please reply to this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuujin Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 I have heard of it, but have yet to enjoy it. Adam, The Prince of Anime himself said it was "The Greatest of All Time" or something close to that. So I'm looking forward to watching it.

Vampire Hunter D Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 i'm kind of ashamed to say this, because I love all of his work that i've seen, but I've never heard of those two examples you just made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Sigh, well sorry if I don't agree with you guys on Spirited Away being "the best" anime of all time. I've seen worse but I've also seen much better then this movie. Also contributing to the fact I'm not a big fan of Miyazaki Hayao's works this movie didn't appeal as much to me. I'm more of a Shoji Kawamori fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has humanist leanings. His work certainly has much broader appeal. Kawamori is more about plot and mecha. I guess his style is what more people would regard as 'anime' in the West. His audience is essential the mid-teens to early twenties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted November 23, 2002 Author Share Posted November 23, 2002 Heh, Ilove Miyazaki..... This is my fave of his works.. No, it's really not a whole lot like Inu-Yasha... Er...

[/B][/QUOTE] It came to theatres in the US, and is supposed to be released on DVD and Video is about 5 months or so. I'm pretty sure that it was released elseware as well, and if that's the case, he's not necessarily an American. However, by now I'm sure that the select theatres that it is being shown at have stopped due to the fact that it's past the usual ammount of time that they show movie anyway. I could be wrong, but don't get your hopes up if you are intending to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juu Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 [color=deeppink] [size=1]I saw it in digital format (not IMAX) at the Metreon not too long ago, and I really enjoyed it! ^_^ It was a really cute story, and I especially liked the scene where the really dirty guy came in the bathhouse, and she (I forgot the main char's name...) had to give him a bath. Funny thing is... I didn't finish my chocolate bon-bons afterwards...[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
