Spirited Away

To be honest with everyone, I am a very big fan of anime and other Japanese movies and animations. Spirited Away is definitely my favorite anime cartoon/movie I have ever seen. The story was great and it was filled with lots of sound and visual
effects that enhanced the greatness of the movie even more. One complaint that i do have about the movie is that there was almost no intro to the movie. It starts off with the family on the road moving to their new home but there was no explanation of any of the characters. Within the first 15 minutes of the movie, the family was already in the magical world. It seemed that I was being rushed while watching it. Also, I wasn't too fond of the ending as well. It also seemed to be too short. There was no explanation of what happened to Haku near the end and when the family arrived back at the car, I believe that it would have been better if this whole story took place in one normal (human) day. But all in all, it was an excellent story with adventure and and many developing characters.

I absolutely love Spirited Away. I am not Japanese or anything, but I love anime. I thought that this movie didn't explain itself very much the first time I saw it, but the second time it made more sense. I love the overall story and I htought it was sweet, action-packed, and really weird! But I loved it and if I were a critic, I would give Spirited Away four stars.
