This is one of those few, where I would say forget about examining it under the microscope and live through it all at once. This is one of those few animes so powerfully crushing that after watching it I was grateful for the opportunity to learn from it.
This is a powerful, emotionally charged anime that made me cry, cheer and think.
Yes yes yes, it is filled all kind of heart string pulling tricks that compounded tend to fall beyond the fantastic and into the disbelief area... but once I started watching it I become addicted to it.
In the end, I could see my self in this anime and learned an important lesson for my life. At this point stop reading and watch it... then send me a message, I'd like to know what you learned from it.
My lesson learned:
That we are all Chihiro, to some degree, as we become more and more involved in daily life the endless series of routines start to strangle those few precious moments which are really important to us. If we don't stop every now and then to recall them, they will be lost forever.
Is there a memory you would like to never forget.
