The most beautiful anime to grace this world

Rating: 10/10 (13 September 2005)

MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED I'm an avid fan of the anime world, and I'm still a teenager.
I've grown up with all forms of anime, from the badly done pokemon to the more acceptable X. But Miyazaki's works have captured my soul constantly.
I first saw Princess Mononoke when I was searching for a good film, my mum bought it for me and I watched it. I was instantly in love. This brand of anime was unreal, it moved with a fluidity unlike anything I've seen before.
Spirited Away is the story of a young 10 year old girl called Chihiro who is moving house with her parents. They get lost and find an empty "theme park" which is really the land of spirits. Upon her parents receiving their punishment, Chihiro gets trapped in the spirit world but is saved from fading away by a strange boy called Haku. The story unfolds as Chihiro faces her fears and faces Yubaba, The staff of the bath house and the demon, No Face.
My personal favorite parts are the battle against No Face as Chihiro fights off by simply using a medicene she was given and teaching him the importance of friendship. Also, revealing who Haku really is and showing such loyalty to someone.
The moral of this story is that sometimes, you need to mature and learn that you can't rely on someone else to save you. You must also cherish your friends and keep loyal to the end. At least that's it to me None the less, it's a fantastic animation with beautiful music, charming characters, a storyline that sucks you in and animation quality beyond possibility.
Who needs 3D these days? ^_^
