Miyazaki's Spirited Away [Archive]

I can't believe I watched it... I stayed up all night last night to watch Spirited Away on Cartoon Network's Fridays. I wish now that I hadn't. Oh, sure, it was spectacular. I love Miyazaki's works, especially Princess Mononoke, but this... this was different. If it weren't for that damn No Face, I would buy it on DVD... but No Face... god, I have never been so scared in my life! I was crying and shaking throughout the whole movie thanks to him - or her, or it, or whatever. That's the first - and last - time I've ever watched Spirited Away. If anyone else watches it, enjoy it for me, because I can't... thanks to No Face. ;_;

LOL!

I remember when I first saw it, No Face scared the shizzle out of me, but later he became one of my favorite characters. Along with the Radish Spirit, of course. xP

I love that movie, though <3 I watched it last night and got my mom to watch it, too. n_n

I watched it on CN as well; NoFace doesn't scare me, but I never did understand why being in the bath house made him crazy. I dunno; maybe he was just mad because he could buy everyone else off with gold, but Sen/Chihiro didn't care for any of that.

But the puking and all that was a little off. But it helped ^^

I thought the same thing...what i didnt get was why when master haku got his name back why did he change from dragon back to boy.

I remember when I saw this movie >.> No Face creeped the HECK out of me, and he made my little sister cry and get out of the theatre (the movie is definitely not for little kids...). The ART though, was AMAZING, so much detail to everything, the vibrant colours... @____@ (I get easily distracted by shiny, colourful things).

I need to find a way to watch this movie again. I don't recall seeing anything quite as creepy/different as Spirited Away, and I've forgotten what happens for most of the movie :(

No face has a great heart but he couldn't show it yet,
he becomes a kind soul and it's all thanks to Chihiro. ^_______________^

I loved the movie also. ^0^
But since i'm such a silly nature lover Mononoke will always be my favorite. <3<3<3

Ahh, I remember when I first watched the movie. Truely was good, and that was the dub. So then I i picked up the sub, my god it was wonderful. COurse, Princess Mononoke will always be my fave

I fell in love with the movie. It was great, the No Face creeped me out a little bit. Especially when it just would *pop* right up outta nowhere.

I ahve the dvd. Lent it to Juji-san tee hee. I loved the ending when Chihiro was about to look back. She didn't though, but it left so many mysteries behind and the big question of "What would have happened" I also wanted to know what happened to Haku.

I own it, i think it is one of the best anime's ever made and i absolutely love Miyazaki's work, i have seem all of his films.I watched it on cn to, and i didn't enjoy it as much because of the commercials.You all should of watched it when Turner Classic Movies spent a moth showing Miyazaki's movies.

Ahahahahaha... you're afraid of No Face? Don't mind him, he's just lonely.
When I watched it, I was transfixed. It was like I couldn't move. Needless to say, Spirited Away is my favorite movie (-the Naruto movies). Haku rocks!

Lol! I remember watching this before the American version came out. No Face scared me to bits (but then so did the little spirits in the forest in Mononoke Hime/Princess Mononoke). After that, I got used to it and it's currently standing, what(?), number 5 on my ranking list?

Miyazaka's Spirited Away... A great film in my opinion, at first I thought it was going to be the gayest movie ever! But, it's now my favorite movie at the moment. It has great animation dispite it's "age". Very good, including her other movie i just forgot the name. >_<

I give it a 5 out of 5. (But No Face, disturbingnessness... >_<)

I love "Spirited Away." I first saw it in art class in 7th grade and INSTANTLY fell in love. So, when I was flipping through channels the other night and saw it on Cartoon Network, I spazzed and cryed. I didn't care if it was the dub; I watched it anyway! And yes, when you first meet No Face, no s*** you're going to be scared of him...but later on, I fell in love with him. "Spirited Away" = Amazing movie.

Also! For you Miyazaki fans who don't know..."Howl's Movie Castle" is up for an Oscar (against "Corpse Bride" and "Wallace and Gromit." :) :p :D ;) )!

I though No Face was scary only after he ate those two frog people. And any time after that until he stopped puking

All of Miyazaki's flims are great! Spirited Away is one of the best though.

spirited away is okay but have any of you seen howl's moving castle it's great!!! Princess monoke is my second favourite movie after it i mean the sounds and the contrasting movements of the characters.

I loved that movie ^__^ I watched it like 10 times :D Kohaku is a river spirit... He's a half boy and half dragon. It's got something to do with magic... ^^ Chihiro is so cute :D I think "Spirited Away" should make a sqeuel... there's so much wonders and questions left unanswered still... Like:

Is Kohaku going to keep his promise to chihiro?!?!
Will Rin leave the bathhouse?!
Will Kohaku leave the bathhouse??
Will Zabu-- The bath house witch going to change after what Bou said to her?!

Yea... That's all I can think of right now ^^;;V

I really liked the movie Spirted Away, it was a great movie to see, only to me it didn't make much sense, since I really didn't pay much attention.. Lol, but I still liked some of the sense, I liked the dragon, I just can't remember his name, If I were to rate this movie I'd have to give it a 10 out of 10 its a reallt awesome movie from what i saw, only I was trying to help my friend, she was slightly stuck, because she slid through the seat, and I had to go get myslf a drink, but it was really good. ^.^;
