".....They call it...being spirited away."
Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, or Spirited Away is a story about Chihiro, a recently uprooted girl that through a series of events, goes on a fantastical and slightly terrifying journey, growing up along the way.
I'm just going to make this short and sweet, as you have plenty of other lovely reviews that go deep into this movie.
Spirited Away made me happy. The art style gave me an adorable bouncy ball feeling, and I loved all the characters. I was never bored, and it twisted the plot in just the right ways.
The movie really did spirit me away to a

Ouran Koukou Host Club

This show is a blast right from the first line. With the narrator's sarcasm and the main character being the equivalent of a Disney character bewildered by all the singing, you have 26 episodes of adorable rose petal strewn fun.
This series knows what it is, and behaves like a Lifetime movie that laughs at itself. The story isn't all that plot driven, it focuses on developing the characters and displaying their antics. It has a ton of cute fluff and humor, ridiculous rich boys and a down to earth girl navigating high school and this fun little playground they have created. The art isn't the ABSOLUTE BEST ...

After finally finding out that there is indeed a space genre for anime, I decided to give Planetes a try. It looked promising, had a whole bunch of themes that were right up my alley, and it was a pretty decent size.

This 6 minute short barely gives us any story, relying in the music and visuals to make an impact on you. And I believe it succeeds. As a person who is extremely lonely in her world, and frequently tries to flee to a world of her own creation, this hit me like a truck. For those 6 minutes, I was Rin. Again, the creators only give us a bare minimum storyline. But I believe the beauty of this is that we are free to run

Kimi no Na wa.
(Anime)
add
Kimi no Na wa. In English, "Your Name'. This beautifully drawn anime chronicles the events that occur to two teens, living on opposing sides of the "train tracks" of life. Mitsuha, a small town girl who longs to feel the pulse of bustling Tokyo, and Takashi, a Tokyo boy who struggles to realize his dream of being an architect while juggling a part time job and school. Both experience a strange phenomenon that allows them to change bodies.
This starts a chain of events that will leave nothing quite like it was. Story: 9 The story left a profound impact on me. It made me realize the ... |
