Spirited Away
After what's felt like years and years of waiting, I finally did it. I finally watched what most people consider to be the greatest anime/animated film of all time.
And you know what? I can't believe it's taken me this long to do so.
I'm still quite new to the world of Studio Ghibli, but it's no surprise that this film is celebrated as Hayao Miyazaki's best work. Whether you focus entirely on the sound design, the animation and the framing of scenes, or even simply the story as a whole, everything is truly remarkable and it's crazy to think this film is JUST two hours long. Those 120 minutes flew by.
I wish I was able to watch this movie without any context though, having high expectations before I even started did disrupt certain bits for me.
Overall though, this film was absolutely incredible, and it doesn't surprise me whatsoever that many people choose their as their favourite animation movie of all time.
