All these movies that hit the mainstream have good scores, why? because they appeal to casuals. This are the movies that anime casuals would enjoy. Like every cloned super hero movie, because if a lot of people watched it then it has to be good right. (being sarcastic).
Girls will find characters cute, Chihiro cute, Haku cute, everything cute = high score.
Boys will like [insert random technical cinematography term] = high score.
Quality of drawing and animation aren't equal to
a good movie.
Chihiro is a crying pussy, a winy kid with no manners.
The father ignores his wife like it's a peace of furniture. And all she does is wine and complain for everything like any woman that lacks some sex.
The father character design is the body of a typical fat ugly bastard with the head of a bean or a can anf the brain of a worm.
At this point i realised that the parents aren just an empty plot element.
The most ammount of facial expression you can expect from most characters is to open their mouth and change their eyebrow positions. Except for Chihiro, get this, she can blush and puff her cheeks.
Even Sakaguchi, the most lame sumo from Abarenbou Rikishi had more facial expresions.
Everybody just had a botox injection with your local unlicensed plastic surgeon.
The parents are inpudent and insolent. They became pigs because they are pigs in life, in their manners and in parenting as well.
The way they make Chihiro and Haku interact is too in your face for a 10 yo girl. They just met and he's all over her touching her. You can tune it down 10x and it still gets the message across that he is there to protect her. No need to be so vulgar about it. He just looked you in the eyes and you are thirsty.
This is a story where love transform a plane character into something somewhat interesting and bearable to watch.
The movie gets interesting after the first half, when something finally happens and Chihiro stops looking at the clouds.
The first half is all introduction and stablishing the new place and way or life.
The art looks nice because of the fluid animation when characters are moving, the backgrounds and....the HD. The mains designs are shit.
Too little happens for 2 full hours. Most of the movie is empty with the shit i mentioned before. At no point it got borring because the movie is always showing off the animation.
My enjoyment was a 6. Giving a 7 was too much.
It's a good choise if you have nothing to watch plus you can write off one more show that everybody seems to have watched.
