as a former ten-year-old and current girl, thanks

Man, one of the big reasons why Spirited Away really grabbed me, was that I felt that Chihiro did most of the same things that I would’ve done if I was her.

On retrospect, certain things are really obvious now.

so please PLEASE stop saying Miyazaki used the film as a metaphor for brothels and child sex trafficking. if you want to read it that way, whatever, but know his actual intentions. Miyazaki isn’t a dark mastermind. just a regular narrative genius.
