Right when you looked away you missed the hairband twinkling just before the father and daughters last lines of the film. foreshadowing. ♥
私もそう思いました！
One of my favourite movies, animated or otherwise!
Eta: Fun fact, Chihiro is voiced (in English) by the same actress who voiced Lilo in Lilo & Stitch!
I loved the story . So unique! I can’t wait to see the other stories and thank you for watching !
Not gonna lie. I love the Eng dub versions so much when it comes to Studio Ghibli films. They always find the best voices to fit the characters.
Honestly I was a bit worried about that LOL I wasn’t sure if I should watch in Japanese or English 😩😂. But to make sure I get the full story experience I think I will continue in English with the other movies . TY FOR WATCHING !
So do I! Almost all of the time, the English actors seem to have SO much more inflection and emotion in their voices. The anime fans can come for me, I don’t care.
that's owing more to the people at Disney, who licensed the films for international distribution. They hired named actors and dubbed the films themselves. Many times, the work is done by less able actors, many of them not aware of the subtleties of the Japanese language and mispronounce names and place emotional inflection on the wrong places. IIRC a lot of that work is done in one or two studios in Vancouver.
If you want the exact words that the characters used, it's best to watch it subbed, but if not you can watch them dubbed, I did some digging and found that they tend to change the meaning and words used in the Japanese version in the dubbed versions to fit with how long the characters' mouths were moving. Some lines in Spirited Away were changed for the English dub, you can compare the two if you're interested in how they're different xD
I watched one Ghibli movie subbed one time, and I could never go back to watch it dubbed again, not unless it's with a kid who can't read the subtitles and had to watch it dubbed to understand the characters.
@@clairelin0216 - I've watched a lot of Ghibli movies subbed _and_ dubbed, and you're totally right, some words and meaning are slightly different. I like both, actually, because sometimes I think the _dubbed_ words actually make more sense for the character than the subbed words.
But maybe that's just me.
In Japan, dragons have been worshiped as water gods since ancient times. It is also the embodiment of water such as rain, rivers, and the sea.
The monsters or spirits that appear here are all called “Kami”or “Youkai.”
It's like a god, devil, or spirit.
As a Japanese person, I am very interested in how this movie will be interpreted by people overseas who are not familiar with Japan's unique indigenous beliefs.🤓
Everyone has been so kind with their explanations . Thank you and thank you for watching !
I remember watching this movie with my classmate in school when I was 12, my music teacher insisted that we watch it for several weeks because she was going to teach us how to play the ending song Always With Me and I'm glad she played this for us, it was an unique experience as it's not very often for teachers to play movies in class, I remember being super excited to go to music class sessions for a while because my music teacher would play this movie in class.
It was also super easy to fall for Haku, I did a rewatch recently and I was literally falling for Haku while my sister got way too scared by the spirits to finish watching this xD
Wow that’s awesome. I could only imagine how incredible this must’ve been to watch it as a child. The imagination must’ve been captivated
@@Fresc0 This type of stories kind of became my type of stories after I watched this as a child.
And yes, it was so captivating that I remember every single scene from this movie when I decided to do a rewatch with my little sister and introduce the movie to her:)
My absolute favorite Ghibli film! Can't wait for you to get to Princess Mononoke.
Yess! Looking forward to it !
I named my old chinchilla, Chihiro after this main character. My cats name is Mei from one of the main characters in My Neighbor Totoro. I also have a tattoo of the forest spirits on my calf from Princess Mononoke. All of the movies are good. Enjoy Them.
Really ?! That’s amazing. There’s a huge love for these movies. I’m looking forward to watching all of them .
@@Fresc0 I'd say in order of my favorite movies like TOP 4 would be Princess Mononoke > Howl's Moving Castle > Spirited Away > Ponyo
@@ToastedSloth oh? Hmm okok I’ll take this into consideration . I think I decided what to check next
Naming that chinchilla Totoro would have been rad cool though ❤😂❤
In the name stealing scene, "Chihiro" means "girl who asks a thousand questions" (or thereabouts).
Yubaba steals all the characters except "Sen" ("one thousand"), so she's basically just taking away her name and leaving her with a number, "deHumanizing" her.
In Japanese mythology "Long" (Asian dragons) are associated with rivers and water, not fire. this is why Haku and the great river spirit (that was suffering from pollution) Are represented as Dragons
Ahhhh wow . That’s fascinating . Thank you for the explanation !
@@Fresc0 Also for Haku's name, his full name is Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi, meaning the Master of the Swift Amber River, Nushi is the Japanese word for spirits and Nigihayami implies his noble lineage while Kohaku means amber, this is also the name he repeated back to Chihiro to tell her that he remembered his name after Chihiro told him his name in the original Japanese version.
@@clairelin0216 I need to rewatch it in the Japanese version for sure .
To the best of my knowledge, the only connection between two of Hayao Miyazaki's movies are the little, black, soot sprites, who were also in My Neighbor Totoro. The spiritual world of Japan is what connects these two films.
Ah yes I see . The majority of these movies all consist of spirits.
They consist of Japanese spirits, which are no less than any other religion across the world. The average person from Japan would tell you they don't follow a religion, but the religion of Shinto is at the heart of Japan. @@Fresc0
I cannot believe you have that few suscribers and overall traffic. You have an incredible voice(which you have to be aware of ;)) and you create such a good vibe effortlessly. Just keep it up, be patient and the algorhytm will hopefully catch up. I really hope you make it, you have the potential to become a massive reaction channel !
Thank you so much. That is really kind of you to say. I enjoy doing reactions so much. Especially when it’s stories that captivate my mind. Also WELCOME TO THE CHANNEL! :)
It was so wonderful to see you enjoying this, Ghibli is really something else - I really hope to see you react to more of these films ❤
Loved the video! Can't wait for more Ghibli reactions!
Thank you so much for watching . More to come !
as with many Miyazaki movies, there are environmental messages throughout - that filthy blob that comes to the baths is actually a river, and you can see all the garbage that he was subjected to by human pollution. it`s not a preachy scene, but it is very powerful when you think about it. nice reaction, btw.
Yeah that makes alot of sense and thank you for watching !!
the stink spirit is an old polluted river dragon just like haku. the religion of shintoism is big in japan. in shintoism, everything has a spirit -vegetable, rocks, rivers, trees, a bowl, animals, and many more. the bathhouse is a spirit stomping ground. chihiro and her family stumbled in by accident. the creator, mr. hayao miyasaki explored human greed and development in spirited away. chihiro's parents represented human greed. haku lost his home when his river was filled-in to be replaced by apartments. that's why haku doesn't have anywhere else to go but the bathhouse.
Such a fantastic story. Thank you for the explanation !
An EXCELLENT choice for your first Ghibli film!
It was fantastic 🥹
You should watch princess mononoke. It’s the Ghibli movie that inspired BOTW and TOTK.
That is actually next on my list 🙌🏽
This is one of the list of movies that i played almost every night when i was quite a bit younger. it has helped me through ALOT in my life and considering I was autistic my whole life; that and it has the perfect OST but also Itsumo Nando Demo, i also sing it often to this day. there are many nice covers of that song, even the melody on european harp and singing performance for a euro tv station. if i link those, would you react to them too someday soon?
I think that would be cool . Lemme have a look !
@@Fresc0 if you have a discord sever it may be easier to chat and pass you links
i just successfully got the link to stick. this is only one of the videos you can react to that dive into Spirited Away which the japanese name is Sen To Chihiro Kamikakushi.
All the spirits here are well known Japanese Youkai. if you want i could describe them to you or give you a fun video to react to that explains it, that is even Spirited Away themed too if you like!
For sure ! Drop the video link here . I’ll give it a looksie !
@@Fresc0 TH-cam doesn't always allow links so if it doesn't work i'll try doing it on my laptop and if that doesn't stick i may have to shoot an email your way lol.
@@Makkaru112 that works ! Or give me a follow on instagram or Twitter and send a Dm over there . I’ll check it out !
The context for the food is that Chihiro's parents didn't get permission to eat the food which is why they turned into pigs, Haku gave her permission to eat what he fed her so she didn't turn into one. Fun fact Chihiro means "thousand questions" in Japanese & is a common girls' name, Sen(what her name became) means "a thousand", Chihiro's voice actress is not only Lilo from Lilo & Stitch but is also Samara(Sadako) from the English version of The Ring.
You shound watch Totoro next, Disney has a dub but you should try the Fox dub, some bits in the Fox dub seem more energetic(especially the beginning song)/feel like they have more effect to them.
Ahh makes sense and yess I watched Totoro . It’s here on the channel . Possibly my favorite movie so far
@@Fresc0 I think I remember seeing it I just forgot & after my comment I think I found it again. It’s a classic & it’s unfortunate the sequel(it’s an animated short of Mei going on an adventure with a kitten bus) is only available at the Ghibli museum.(Also unfortunate that the fox dub is out of print)
ji-blee - is the correct pronunciation for Studio Ghibli. The name comes from an arabic word for wind I think, but the founders mispronounced it (the arabic is pronounced with the hard g), and the phonetic spelling in Japanese stuck and is used in the logo.
Watch All studio Ghibli they are all cool and have there own uniqueness...You will definitely not regret it.. 😊✌️
One thing she still had the hairband when they left.. It would be Awesome if they did a 2nd one it really seems like they could.. And Especially cause she left with the hairband.. Yeah it's a pretty odd one you just need to let go and possibly watch it again and really pay attention..TYSM I Really enjoyed watching it with you...
PS. One of my most favorite anime is called Mushishi it is a very relaxing chill cool anime you should definitely check out..
Two things, #1, watch all of Hayao Miyazaki's films, unless he trips up with the last one, which is being released very soon, he's batting a 1000 with his movies. Unlike a lot of directors' etcetera, he is not a one trick pony, he isn't tied to a particular kind of story or genre, no gimmicks or pompous signature scenes, unless you consider just pure unadulterated wonder a gimmick. At most you'll find some common themes and elements in several of his films, but each is unique and special all on its own.
#2, all of his movies are worth rewatching at least once, though I dare people to contain themselves to a single rewatch, there is far too much to enjoy in his films; the artwork, directing, storytelling and oh my god, THE SOUNDTRACKS and SCORES!!! With Spirited Away, you might want to read up on it a bit, just to understand the cultural aspects that unless you're very familiar with Japan, isn't going to resonate.
I plan to watch them all 😅. I’ve enjoyed the journey this far . Being more open minded with the stories as time goes on .
The only Studio Ghibli movies that are connected (as far as I know) is "Whispers of the Heart" and "The Cat's Return" (or The Cat Returns depending on the translation you have).
I’ve loved all of them so far . Even if not connected . So good 🥲
Ghibli has some great movies.
They truly do
thank you for your reaction 🫶🏻 can’t wait for the next videos ✨ and also recommend howls moving castle 👍🏻
Thank you so much for watching! Yess that one is on my list to watch very soon 🙌🏽🙌🏽
First time here, and I have to say. Your voice is quite soothing. Read me a bedtime story when you can.
Haha thank you so much !
If you can you should see the live action version of this, released as a movie/video
There’s a live action ???
Howls Moving Castle next please ❤😊
Filmed it this past Wednesday finally , editing tomorrow to then post this week 👀
@Fresc0 Oh thankyou so much.. Another great suggestion would be
Grave of the fireflies .
Wisper of the heart.
Arriety.
Kikis delivery.
Ponyo.
Well you can do Gibli movies one by one they all are great 😊
@@Happy_Potato0 haha that’s been the plan so far .
Remember spirit doesn’t mean human. That’s a very very modern western POV.
We have radish spirits, river spirits, etc, in the spirit realm. So the spirits aren’t stuck in that world or place, that IS their world.
Got it! I never knew that
@@Fresc0 yep! The closest western POV I guess is Christianity’s the Holy Spirit, which is not human.
You definitely have to view it as these are natural spirits and beings in our world. Especially with Studio Ghibli which references Japanese culture as the norm (because it’s Japanese lol) and spirits are in a lot of their movies
@@CafeDeDuy I’ve been enjoying the journey thus far . It’s awesome ! Howls moving castle will be next
it's both "G" & "J"
Ahh okok
There’s a say that Haku would be tear apart by Yubaba because in the original language, Yubaba said something like “what about u, even if I tear u apart?”, then the scene cuts. So the guess is, Haku have an protocol with Yubaba, she would give Chihiro a chance to let her go, but as a price, Haku would be tear apart. And the director himself didn’t denied it nor confirmed it
Personally, I rather believe it is an Happy End though
That’s really interesting . I would’ve had no idea ! Thank you for watching !
For me :
The main topic of this film is capitalism. Chihiro's parents are transformed into pigs because of their greed, people having a contract with Yubaba lose their name and become entirely under his control (like People Who run after money and don't see that they lose the essentiels), Haku lost his because he made a contract with Yubaba to have powers so by temptation, the spirits of nature come to the baths to be purified from the pollution of the human world (overconsumption) etc... Chihiro could not be manipulated by Faceless (the black spirit with the mask) because she don't care about gold but her loved ones, I think that's why Faceless was frustrated at not being able to control her like the others (finally he was also a victim of his greed)
(English is not my native language so sorry if i did a mistake)
That makes sense! I didn’t really think about why the faceless changed into that monster. But it was definitely because it wasn’t getting what it wanted.
Haku lost his name because the Kohaku river had been filled in years after Chihiro fell into the river, in the case of the beliefs shown in this movie, river spirits are the rivers as they believe that rivers have a human like persona(Close to some other Eastern beliefs that have river gods), since the river and the persona of the river are one and the same in some ways, when a river is filled in, the river spirit will lose its home as the spirit is bind to the river that it rules over, and that made Haku forget who he really is, and that is shown by him losing his name before Yubaba even took his name.
The way thu dub version is soo cold and just wrong....
I love your voice what state are you from i myself are from sweden scandinavia.
Ty so much . Born and raised in NY 😄
Its jee bli. At least that's how we Japanese pronounce it
