Going on to anime movies~

So with nothing else to do and once again my lack to watch anime, I'll start doing anime movies. They'll be based off of popular animes or they'll be Studio Ghibli films that people probably haven't heard about.

For those who have no clue what Studio Ghibli is, it's pretty much what Disney is to us Americans. With the great Hayao Miyazaki making great anime films for years, it's hard for any otaku to not know any of the films. Let's start off with Spirited Away.

We begin our story with 10-year-old Chihiro Ogino who is unenthusiastic about moving with her parents. On their way to their new house, they get lost and end up exploring an abandoned amusement park. Chihiro wanders off as her parents begin eating at a buffet and discovers a bathhouse. She also finds a mysterious boy who warns her to leave before nightfall. But as she goes back to her parents, she finds that they have been transformed into pigs and she cannot escape as spirits enter the park.

Chihiro runs into the boy again, whose name is Haku, and he tells her that her family has been trapped in the spirit world and she must work at the bathhouse to be able to return to her world. Eventually, she is granted a job at the bathhouse by the witch Yubaba and is forced to change her name to Sen. She must endure many challenges in this coming of age film if she is to return to reality.

This is one of the earliest anime films I was exposed to when I was four. I freaked out when her parents turned into pigs because as a child it's really pretty scary! But the animation and story line are beautiful with the rich amount of Japanese culture. The characters are memorable and very lovable too. By far one of the best anime masterpieces of all time.
