| Show him some pics and give him a brief summary......what a coincidence, i watched it with my sis yesterday.... I'm 17 and she is 10......I had to explain to her almost everything, but she laughed a lot and amused to see pigs, monsters and spirits. Tell him U will treat him something later if he agrees to watch it with u.  Btw, imo the animation, music, Art and subtle details are mind blowing, as a movie released in 2001, it's way better than Kyoto/Mappa/Ufotable tbf.......and the story is also decent, the magical world was amazing BUT the story was rushed at the end.....ik they can't make it longer, but they could've cut some scenes and made it 15mins longer.......so I don't think it deserve the hype it gets,, just because the story, pacing and ending kinda felt off........but it's a solid 8/10. |

| WISHED I COULD ALSO GET TRANSPORTED TO A WORLD FULL OF MAGIC And DUNGEONS, please take me there too if you could ( ◜‿◝ )♡ |
| If you can't convince him with "it's good", then tell him "it's bad". Called reverse treatment. |
LoudyKaizoku said: First off, a bit of context. My brother is slightly younger than me (I am 17, while he is 15, but he turns 16 in November). He is mainly into Marvel and Star Wars, but he also likes animated movies quite a lot, too. However, for whatever reason, he has never gotten into anime. Yeah, he watched Ponyo, Totoro, and a bit of Star Wars: Visions, but aside from that, nothing else. As stellar as Spirited Away, everytime I suggest it to him, he always says no. Perhaps I am kind of a jerk, because I feel like I am forcing it on him. However, I really want to show him what a masterpiece of animation it is. Plus, with me going off to college next year, watching movies with my bro won't be as regular as it is. So, people of the forums, I ask you this question: How can I convince my brother, who isn't much of an anime fan, to watch Spirited Away with me? Just tell him it would mean a lot to you if you both could watch it together before you go away. Also tell him to pick one of his favorite movies and you’ll watch it with him. |

| you can do something like this watch a movie he wants to and then at some point watch spirited away. the anime movies he's watched are made by the same studio ha |

| I think if he's not already interested in Spirited Away, he probably won't like it. That's the kind of movie it is. Jay_Brief said: Bribery normally works. That how I get my brother to watch stuff with me. I tell him in exchange I’ll watch one of his favorite shows That doesn't work with my brother. |

| その目だれの目？ |
| Have you tried breaking down and crying in order to guilt trip him into watching it? If that doesn't work you could always get a parent involved or threaten to take away something he loves. If these options seem kind of mean to you maybe its best to respect the fact that he doesn't want to watch anime with you. |
-insert NGE meme here- |
| i get where you’re coming from, maybe ask him and try to tell him why, but if he says no then thats ok. he can have his preferences, im not sure why he refuses but it’s fine, he won’t die |
| @Cestlavie_ Sorry, I didn't read your suggestion carefully enough. I saw what Jay_Brief said and thought that you also watch your sister's favorites. I try it all the time, but it never works. I never bought my brother a bribe. That sort of thing isn't in my nature. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| tie him up and make him sit and watch. tAAAA dAaaa |
 |
| Just say "Eyy.. got new movie! Wanna watch it with me?" I always used those words to invite my sister to watch a movie or anime together. And it usually works. |
| If he says no then I think the best thing is to be respectful and not force him :) it’s okay if he doesn’t have the same interests |

| let me tell u my way of convincing people to watch smth , instead of telling them , in my case i will use my laptop or phone and with speakers on , watch near him with loud sound and place the screen where he can also see this , even tho he is not watching with you he might check what ur watching , ( remember to play the beautiful scenes like no face getting bigger that scene might attract him to know abt what that black thing is ) ,then he might come and ask u to play from start and watch together 🤝🏼 |
 |
| annoy the hell out of him & keep asking for 3 days straight to watch Spirited Away with you. if it didn't work then stop asking him and just wish for him to feel guilty about refusing. also start reminding him that you'll go to college next year and will be much more busy to the point where you won't even have the time to watch a single show with him anymore hahaha all jokes btw (unless 😂). anyway if he doesn't want to watch it, I think it's much better if you just let him be and mind your own business :)) |
 |
| if you can't convince him, coax him. or do a movie marathon of at least three films, so you could include Spirited Away. preferably in-between, since you would want him to get immersed with a film he likes first, and end it with something he wouldn't tire of watching. |
 |
Kaonashi. When I first watched the movie, I was surprised to see him there, as I had definitely seen him somewhere on the internet before that. He seems to be a fairly well-known figure even outside of anime world. So your brother would maybe want to actually get to know his origin too?  |
| I had to convince my boyfriend to watch it lol I had him watch Totoro and Princess Mononoke with me, and he really hated them 😆 but he did enjoy Spirited Away! Bribery might work best for a 15 year old lol |
  |
| My older sister also forced me to watch it with her and I didn't regret it |
