I hadn’t watched any ghibli movies but since spirited away was so talked about and even my friends said it was amazing, i gave it a go and lets just say it left me saying wtf did i just watch. The plot was an acid trip and everything was just all over the place, there were no comical or emotional moments or even any suspense, thrilling or action sequence, i usually like fantasy but this just wasn’t it. There were no fun characters, there was nothing to get into didn’t understand wtf was going on. Just random weird things happened in the bathhouse that were completely irrelevant to the actual plot ie. her escaping. Those events did not build up a scenario for her escape, all it took was for her to guess who her parents were. All in all i found it boring and just didn’t like it. I just forced myself to complete it since it was very liked and in hopes that maybe it will get better. But no, it didn’t get better and I didn’t enjoy any bit of it! Just left a bad first impression of ghibli movies as a whole. I just can’t seem so understand why is it so popular. The art and animation was the only good thing about this movie.

Edit 1: should’ve titled it as i didn’t like it instead of calling it awful since its about what i think. That was my bad sorry about that.

Edit 2: people are pointing out that what i said about it not being emotional is wrong. Well it might be but it was me who didn’t find it probably because it wasn’t presented that way.

Edit 3: so ive made a few thousand people hate me, now thats something!
